Tesla vs SolarCity

What about electric cars with solar panels’ rooftop?

Maybe its too much for now, but Tesla surely made an interesting move when buying SolarCity and maybe that future is not so far away now!

The deal, valued in $2 billion dollars, will bring together an electric car company and a solar panel company, surprisingly owned by the same men: Elon Musk, owning 21% of both. His grand vision is to create a one-stop shop for people who want to power their lives with renewable energy.

“To solve the sustainable-energy question, we need sustainable-energy production, which is going to come primarily in the form of solar. … Combine that with stationary storage and an electric vehicle and you have a complete solution to a sustainable-energy future,”

However, this movement was not well perceived by the investors who claim there is too much of a difference between the companies and analysts specialized in the auto-market cannot now understand the solar panel’s system and vice-versa, making it difficult for them to track their investments. And this uncertainty is reflected on the 15% decrease Tesla’s shares since the beginning of the year.

But Musk doesn’t seem concerned with the short-term occurrences and prefers to focus on the future. He believes in smart cities and because of that he wants us to trust him.

1 — The deployment of Tesla’s batteries into our daily life will turn things easy, providing power, durability and sustainability.

2 — With this new synergy between Tesla and Solar City we may see new electric cars with solar panels installed, decreasing the dependence on stop-charging or movement durability.

3 — This deal may leverage new deals regarding renewables bringing new solutions for our planet.
