SolarCity raises capital from partners like Google to purchase and install solar panels, charging homeowners a monthly lease that is lower than their utility bill.

Tesla has not had consumer tax credits for several years, but now that we've exceeded the limit for electric vehicle sales, we can benefit from these credits again.

Tesla has developed Supercharging technology, allowing drivers to charge their cars at five times the rate of conventional chargers, making long-distance travel feasible with a network covering California, Nevada, and the Eastern seaboard.

SolarCity is creating a new type of distributed utility, empowering homeowners and businesses by providing competition against traditional utility monopolies.

The cost of solar energy has become lower than fossil fuels, driving a shift towards renewable energy sources. This transition is essential as the demand for energy continues to grow, necessitating rapid advancements in energy technology.

Tesla's goal is to follow a three-step process for mass-market vehicles: starting with an expensive car at low volume, then a medium-priced car at medium volume, and finally a low-priced car at high volume, with the third generation expected to be around $30,000.

Tesla has real-time information on demand, allowing us to adjust pricing dynamically based on how many orders we receive each day.

To accelerate the advent of electric transport, we need to create energy-efficient cars that are incredibly light, which is why the Tesla has an all-aluminum body and chassis, applying rocket design techniques to offset the weight of the battery pack.

Tesla is the only car company that believes its cars can achieve full autonomy through a software update, potentially making them five times more valuable than non-autonomous cars.
