No need to look at "self-driving" as proof. Solar City itself came with a lie that Elon was pushing: Solar Shingles.
Not only did Solar City fail to make Solar Shingles under the Tesla banner... Elon eradicated their contracts with Home Depot, fully destroying the future of SolarCity.
It should be no surprise to anyone that SolarCity is no longer the top solar company in the USA, but has fallen further and further behind. SolarCity, as a company, has been milked and discarded.
Each solar shingle turned out to use a traditional connector underneath and not a high tech backplane. Each connector increases the odds of a connector fire, and every single solar shingle has one.
Doing it with traditional connectors was a big surprise that revealed the whole thing to be a charade.
