I had a great Tesla Energy experience, just thought I'd pass it along. Sometimes forums are a good place to vent, sometimes a good place to get honest reviews, and sometimes lean negative.
I put my deposit down in the first week of October 2019, at the same time called 3 additional solar providers for competitive quotes. I opted for a medium system for several reasons. The orientation of my house / roof wouldn't support too much more, and 'medium' was pretty close to break even vs. my last 12 months of electricity use.
All the local providers / installers were very similar in terms of cost and schedule. Costs were ~35% higher than Tesla, and all were scheduling installations after March 2020.
Tesla scheduled their install for the week of Thanksgiving. There was a small amount of confusion here, but overwhelmingly worked out in my favor. The forecast called for > 12 inches of snow on my install date, and I just assumed it was going to be postponed. The installers arrived 24 hours early (!) ahead of the storm, and completed outside work as the snow was falling.
Communication was a little sparse between install / inspection / utility approval, but Tesla "just took care of it." Happy to say Everything has been on for > 2 weeks and no issues.
