So, a heads up: if you’re in places such as California, New York, or the Midwest and are thinking of getting a Tesla Solar Roof installed, folks are seeing some long waits, or their orders are getting canceled. It looks like Tesla isn’t doing as many installs themselves lately and is having other companies handle things. If Tesla can’t get to you, you can usually pick one of their approved installers instead. Some homeowners are finding they get quicker service this way, even if it might up costing a bit more.
Now, if you want to check out other paths, there are companies such as Luma Solar, SunTegra, and CertainTeed that have similar solar roofing stuff and sometimes can get to you faster. So, if Tesla isn’t working out, don’t sweat it, you’ve got choices.

Tesla is facing long scheduling delays and cancellations, especially on the East Coast and Northeast due to supply chain issues and workforce changes. Some customers waited months or had orders canceled without clear reasons.
Supply chain problems have paused new installation scheduling, with no firm timeline to resume.
Tesla seems to be pulling back from some markets and customer support could get rocky in the future.
If Tesla can’t install, alternatives to consider are Luma Solar Roof, CertainTeed Apollo II, SunTegra, and GB Sol
These offer similar solar shingle systems with warranties and better availability.
Many regions like California, Pennsylvania, and New England still face long delays or cancellations for Tesla Solar Roofs. If Tesla can’t deliver, top alternatives include GAF Timberline Solar, Luma Solar, and CertainTeed, all installable by local certified roofers. Traditional panels on a new roof can also be a faster, cheaper option.

Across the U.S. — nationwide decline and strategic withdrawal
Tesla has largely phased out direct Solar Roof installations, pushing work to certified third-party installers. Quoting and design occur only through them now. Tesla no longer provides direct quotes online.
Deployment is extremely limited—only a few dozen roofs per week at best. It remains a niche product, not core to Tesla’s rhythm of business.
Specific regions experiencing severe issues; California, Texas, Massachusetts, Florida: Reddit users report Tesla has pulled out of these large markets entirely (or is winding down) for Solar Roof installations.
Tesla Solar Roof orders in regions like California, Florida, and the Northeast still face long delays or sudden cancellations often during design or permitting stages. Tesla is shifting to third-party certified installers, so customers may be redirected.
