Note to HN posters: do not dare criticize Pope Musk or any of his Holy Products, lest you risk a million down votes.

FYI - I'm not a building expert, but I come from a large family of builders and grew up in a hardware store / lumber yard. I also looked into getting solar roofing (fleetingly) for a family friend. At least three years ago - the costs were nowhere near manageable for Ontario homes.

So we'll see how this works out.

Obligatory reminder to HN posters: do not comment on your own downvotes lest you attract more downvotes.

You look to have been downvoted probably one time. I suggest you delete this comment while you still can. The other comment has only been up for 15 minutes. There is still plenty of time for someone else to decide to upvote it for some reason.

Sorry, I should have added that Musk bit as an addendum to my first comment - and it's a reflection from previous experience, not from any activity on the comment I made on this thread.

I could care less about my 'HN karma' -> it's meaningless to me. I made the comment purely in jest.

"Purely in jest" is probably not the right phrasing if it is based on long experience, thus a sincere prediction of the likely outcome.

I get what you are going for, but, my experiences suggest that if you want to take a position that opposes that of the majority view of the group in question, this sort of commentary is extremely counterproductive.

Not that you need to care. I am just someone who likes talking with people and you made the mistake of talking to me, so I am now talking to you. (shrugs)
