Solar-charged Tesla puts a smile on their faces

There’s nothing like a solar-charged Tesla to put a smile on your face.

No middlemen. No oil men. And no price gouging.

Just you, your home’s roof, a solar PV system – and your electric car of choice.

We think that’s definitely something to smile about, don’t you?
