Tesla's Solar Factory Is Reportedly Struggling to Meet 'Aesthetic Demands'

It seems Tesla's solar factory isn’t producing solar panels to Elon Musk's liking yet. Musk promised that Tesla would produce solar panels virtually indistinguishable from roof tiles.

Tesla teamed up with Panasonic to produce the photovoltaic cells and solar panels. But Gizmodo reports, the solar factory was hitting production snags and difficulties meeting Musk’s aesthetic desires.

The look of the tiles is integral to Musk’s plan to make solar power sexier and more popular.
