NEW! 3 types of Tesla solar roof tiles ready for install

hey what's up guys my name is jake and i'm building a house here in bend oregon and i something kind of cool happened today my tesla roof just showed up got unloaded off the semi this morning so here's the boxes there's like 24 pallets i go all the way down the driveway and then there's a bunch more over there the guys are going to be here on monday to start installing it but i wanted to show you these tiles because i know a lot of people have been curious and tesla's always like innovating and changing stuff up so they actually have three different types of tiles now so the first one here is probably one that maybe you guys have seen this is the actual solar tile and these all come in the same size so they did that you know obviously to make manufacturing more efficient probably see the panels in there a little bit the actual solar cells there you go um and so when they design the house every array on the different pitches of the roof are made up of these and then around them they do a what's called like a dummy tile that's what this is and this is what they had been doing this is actually glass just like the other tile it just doesn't have any solar cells in there but we got an email i don't know maybe two three weeks ago that they were actually going to be shipping their new metal tiles for our project so obviously this is a much more cost effective dummy tile and we'll you know be more resilient for walking around on there as the roofers are installing etc um this doesn't have the backing on it you know it's obviously gonna get attached to something that adheres it to the roof but that is the i don't know i haven't seen actually any videos on the internet yet of these metal tiles because i know they just released them so that's kind of cool it just you know it's designed to match up with what this look looks like and my roofing guy who's a buddy of mine you know they do a ton of metal roofing and so it'll be really easy for them to get up there and work around this they do metal for all the flashing all the valleys all the edges and stuff like that so anyways learn something new every day there's a new tesla tile have a going
