For me, Tesla is a source of great aggravation. On the one hand, it’s the world’s most prominent electric car company, and we REALLY need more electric cars.

On the other hand, the company is a mess that’s run by a maniac.

Maybe we can just kind of…take it out of their hands?

Perhaps that’s what’s going on in this video from TikTok user @sandraaaa096:

“The economy is so bad teslas got solar panels strapped on,” reads the caption.

Sure enough, it looks like this car is covered as thoroughly as possible with panels.

A neat idea in theory, but is this good practice?

So, does it work?

Well, yes and no. In short, the technology isn’t quite there yet.

Which doesn’t mean it will NEVER be there.

It’s a trade-off.

Here’s hoping this CAN take off in a viable way.

In the meantime, maybe don’t cover your back windshield.
