"Tesla is making the first real production electric car. By real, I mean that the car isn't subsidized in any way--it's valuable on its own merits. Our strategy is to start with a high-price, low-volume car and then move down to a lower price, higher volume. Eventually we're going to be a big American car company with a half-dozen models and hundreds of thousands of cars."
"SolarCity installs solar panels, but installation is only one part of what we do. There's the design of the system: What's it going to look like? How's it going to be structured? There's the wiring, the permitting, the monitoring. It's a hairball of elements that need to be put together. What most people don't realize is that SolarCity--not the panel manufacturer--is providing the bulk of the value."
How about a battery pack exchange process where the user has one battery pack on charge at the Solar House while driving the car with the charged pack?
How about a long range battery trailer towed behind the Electric Car complete with a Solar Panel charging roof?
What about a Green House cover over Solar panels with one way glass (mirror on the inside)?
How about using mass to generate electricity during braking?
What about this:

How about a Sales Method where a Solar and Wind Farm charges exchange batteries, runs a Taxi service, leases, and sells Electric Cars?

My last two submissions were rejected. One concerned the ceramic battery.
