So Chipper how should I conduct a poll to find the percent of Tesla owners who have solar. And i am curious as th where you get your data to support only a minority of Tesla owners have solar. I do find it interesting that Tesla has sold almost double number of wall battery packs as they have cars.
I know I'm not Chipper, but here's my two cents. Sorry if its a closed conversation or something.
I don't think anybody not in the business of polling can do an accurate job. You'd have to hire a professional company to get a truly accurate number. I mean, the polls on forums like this are just for fun, right? I had a bunch of statistics courses in college and learned enough to know that getting an accurate picture of anything in the general population takes money, time, effort and experience. Look how bad they screw up the presidential polls - and those guys get paid massive quantities.
You could reasonably argue that the percentage of Tesla owners with solar is higher than the general population, just because of the fact that in general they are more affluent and also lean a little toward being environmentalists (although I've run into big oil fans on this forum). But I doubt the difference is too dramatic. I'd love to know the truth though. Maybe Tesla can add a question to some research they do sometime and get a clue.
