The company originally said it will begin selling its solar roof in April, but CEO Elon Musk said that two of the four shingle options won't be made available until early 2018 . A Tesla spokesperson declined to comment further on why the timeline had changed. Tesla unveiled its solar roof product in late October, about a month before the company acquired SolarCity in a deal worth $2.1 billion. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the solar roof will be cheaper than a normal proof even before factoring in the price of electricity.

We're in the heat of the season of TV renewals and cancellations. And while the people behind the shows are awaiting the networks' decisions, viewers are also feeling the tension. While Business Insider has already weighed in on the shows that we predict are going to be canceled , it's interesting to see what viewers are thinking (and worrying about). Business Insider partnered with Amobee Brand Intelligence — a company that provides marketing insight and measures real-time content consumption across the internet — to find out which TV shows are most mentioned on social media as "on the bubble," which means the shows that are in danger of being canceled.

A fast-growing derivatives exchange has made a big hire. trueEX, an interest-rate swap execution platform, has hired former Deutsche Bank executive Chris Yoshida to run sales, marketing, and strategy. He will join the executive team of CEO Sunil Hirani and president and chief operating officer Karen O'Connor. trueEX is what's called a dealer-to-client swap execution facility. It focuses on execution and processing for interest-rate swaps, which are derivatives that swap a fixed rate for a floating rate, or swap two floating rates. The firm has 24 global dealers providing liquidity, with 80 investor clients.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of pure, ice-cold hydration. Some of us get our water for free from the tap. The  rest  pay for it — at the cost of roughly $100 billion a year. At that steep a price tag, you might assume buying the bottled stuff would be worth it. In most cases, you'd be wrong.

But there are plenty of reasons to stop shelling out for bottled water. Read on to find out all the things you didn't know about your drinking wat...
