Tesla swapped a solar owner’s lease contract for the Book of Enoch
A Tesla solar customer recently logged into their account to check the terms of their solar lease and found the document had been replaced with the full text of the Book of Enoch, an ancient religious text about fallen angels. It wasn't a scanning error or blank page — the actual lease agreement, which spells out payment terms and what happens if you want to end the contract early, was simply gone. Tesla support confirmed the swap in a chat conversation but couldn't explain how it happened. The company apologized and emailed the customer a correct copy.
No one knows exactly why this happened. It could be a mishap involving Tesla's back-end systems or AI tools that manage customer files, a mislabeled placeholder document that leaked into a live account, or a simple technical error. Tesla hasn't said.
For homeowners, the bigger issue isn't the odd substitute text itself but what it says about how carefully Tesla handles lease paperwork. A solar lease is a binding contract that matters especially if you sell your house later, since a buyer may need to take over the lease. This comes as Tesla is trying to rebuild trust in its home solar business after bringing back leasing in late 2025, following its earlier retreat from solar subscriptions. If you have a Tesla solar lease, it may be worth pulling up your own copy in your account to make sure it's actually your contract and not something stranger.
