Why doesn't Tesla have a community solar program for Tesla owners? Tesla manufactures solar panels so it would be a natural way to install large numbers of them which would help to lower the cost. Have a program that gives a discount when using a supercharger after buying shares?

And now that most other EV brands are going to the Tesla standard for charging, offer it to them as well.
