YES! Even says so in the article: "Make no mistake: The new shingles will still be a premium product, at least when they first roll out. The terra cotta and slate roofs Tesla mimicked are among the most expensive roofing materials on the market—costing as much as 20 times more than cheap asphalt shingles."

From the Fine Article its a comparison to Slate roofing which costs up to 20x the price of normal asphalt shingles. Pretty much a lie in the headline. Even if lasts twice what asphalt shingles do he's still at 10x the price; which is also well above the price of a traditional solar installation.
He's comparing them to natural slate or ceramic tile roof which TFA says 20x the price of normal asphalt shingles; its these slate roofs hes competitive with.
Welp reading closer it was worse than I expected:

Looks like he's at the $20-$50 square foot. So its a $60k roof vice a $3k asphalt one. Yeah you can get a standard roof a 5kw solar system and take $10k-$30k to the bank or get his system.
He isn't comparing this to standard asphalt shingles which are the majority of roofs installed nationwide. He is comparing them to ceramic shingles which may be the majority installed in certain areas of CA where he is.
Asphalt shingles don't have any issues with transportation breakage, and are not fragile in transport. Those were the issues he was sighting that showed lower costs. Asphalt shingles also run around a dollar a square foot. Installed with new underlayment runs about two dollars a square foot in my area. If he can hit an installed price of three dollars a square foot then his hype is warranted. My guess is his cost will be closer to seven to ten dollars a square foot. Its not revolutionary when his solar roof is going to run $30k when a standard replacement is $3k.
My thoughts were "Speaking of fake news!"
How is "Some polling experts think it will grow to be around 2Million" real news but equally random and badly sourced site saying Trump will take the popular vote fake news?
They created the copy of the software on the car when they manufactured it. I need no license to create a copy of a book I buy. The reason for licensing the copy of software is the act of installing it usually entails copying it to the device. This is not such a case. If no license is required, then why is there a licensing agreement?
This should have been one of their top priorities for the stimulus spending in 2009. Better late than never; but if an event happens before they implement it wont matter will it?
Sounds like the debate/hofstra thinks they have a license for that band and don't have to accept any and all interference like FCC Part15 specifies. I don't think this will end well for them.
NIST 800 is the computer security committee. Let them come out with a standard and allow independent verification of compliance, kinda like a UL listing. Lets see if people want to pay for security.
I think we've just found the real reason they changed the software. It wasn't because it f'ed over a bunch of users. Its because a few people realized they could own everything for free.
"Since 666 isn't the number of the beast but 619 is due it being off by one in the originally written language it is even funnier. Ancient Hebrew numerical system left much to be desired and has opened up more cans of worms and confusion than Americans complaining about socialistic meteric system."
How amusing. You know that the Book of Revelation was written in Greek and not in Aramean let alone Hebrew right?
I'm not defining where the productivity should go. If there market weren't so distorted by government it would allocate it better than any person. What I am pointing out is that this is another version of the Broken Window Fallacy
So your answer is that the governmental regulations and taxes(permitting and hearings) are the majority of the cost. That isn't an economic argument for solar being the better option. Your simply stating that the governments have chosen solar as the winner. And that also leads back to my argument that it is in fact misallocation of resources. You are clearly economically ignorant. I suggest you go read Hayak's The Road to Serfdom.

So what you're saying is that companies shouldn't hire people who like to use Windows? Windows users require more overhead? That is even worse.

Where are my mod points when I need them. That's hilarious

Have any of them actually gotten hart rate working correctly, or are they all approximations based on vaso-dilation or some such, like fitbit?
Yes you are reading that wrong. That only applies to people who have sued SSA for not declaring them disabled, and to people over retirement age.
Could be both.

Are you suggesting there are an infinite number of people on Earth?
