In creating its new solar solution, Musk calls for a "solar-roof-with-battery product" that allows users to generate their own power. The service would be managed by a mobile app, the plan notes. Musk adds that folding SolarCity's operations into Tesla's is necessary to make that happen.

As part of the plan to grow Tesla's vehicle lineup, you can expect a new, heavy-duty truck and what appears to be an all-electric solution for public transportation.

So, I charge up my Tesla at a remote station while the smokestacks at the power stations puff more smoke. And this s a "clean" energy?

Burning the fuel directly in my vehicle from the source is more energy efficient.
