Tesla Motors Inc. is getting ready for one of its biggest unveilings to date: a new home roofing system that redefines the aesthetics of solar power, combined with massive wall-hung batteries to provide electricity into the night. The new products will be unveiled at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on Friday evening.
This is Tesla’s big push to become a sun-to-vehicle energy company, and it will serve as Elon Musk’s closing argument to Tesla shareholders about why they should vote on Nov. 17 to approve a $2.2 billion acquisition of the biggest U.S. rooftop solar installer, SolarCity, to make it all possible.
