Tesla announces plans for solar roof, second-gen residential battery system

No, 1770 kWh (kilowatt hours) is 1.77 megawatt HOUR < singular. 1770 watt hours would be 1.77 kilowatt hour. Which BTW, wouldn't run a Walmart electric space heater for an hour and a half.

I sincerely hope I've deconstructed dat decimal point dilemma for you.

All my silliness notwithstanding, the decimal point has been misplaced and misused throughout the entirety of this thread. Not to mention wayward "ballpark estimates".

Everybody has misplaced the decimal point, the period of usage, basically whatever they could.

"Average" usage is alleged to be about 10 kWh per day, which would, (as we both know at this point), be 10,000 "watt hours". Obviously, this could only attach to a portion of spring and fall. since electric heat or air conditioning nullify that estimate.

I wasn't needing instruction on the difference between Wh, kWh, mWh or decimal placement. But thanks anyway, I think?????
If you didn't post the numbers I seeked clarification on , please make it clear that you are not the person who posted it. The numbers didn't seem right and I was hoping to hear from the source if it was not you.

No, my post was just a bit of silliness. That should have been apparent with the "D" series alliteration. But I suppose you have to get to know/get used to me.

OK, lets switch gears here for a second. Up to know, I had been under under the impression the past tense of "seek", was "sought". ,

"No, I am not the droid you seek". Nor have I researched solar generation equipment costs, potential yield, or any geographic location's potential suitability.

I came to the thread to flame Musk, pure and simple, but stayed to enjoy the bad math. So, I wish I could help you, but I can not.

In all honesty, were I you, I would undertake the research as a personal endeavor, as opposed to placing one's self at the mercy of this threads "group think".

Although, I suppose the possibility exists the participants could have sobered up, came down, or even possibly undertaken some sort of 12 step program by now.

You may be right on sought being the correct word to use. If so, changing my vernacular may take some practice to weed out.

As for the silliness, I'll pass on flaming and stick with dialog on solar roof performance and specifications.
