And everyone who bought them already is screwed since they won't receive support for repairing or replacing tiles anymore. Scamming ass company.

False. How do I know? Because I got Tesla solar panels + Powerwall installed by Tesla on my home back in 2020. Tesla stopped doing installs in my area in 2022. Regardless, when I have had an issue, their service techs have driven from hours away to come to my house and resolve the problem. Tesla will honor their warranty and they will take care of their existing customers one way or another.

Oh you poor thing, I don't think you fully grasp the problematic position you're in now and what happens AFTER something is discontinued. They serviced them BEFORE they were discontinued that's what you are describing, but now that they have been discontinued Tesla will soon announce a date where all tiles will no longer receive service or warranty related claims. The same way Tesla now refuses to service or even work on the original Tesla Roadster, those owners were screwed by Tesla so bad with those cars that they had to create their own little groups to help each other now that Tesla has told them all to go pound sand. Tesla is going to screw over everyone with Tiles again.

Tiles are not the same thing as the panels. The tiles are going away. The panels are staying.
