This is truly astonishing that Tesla can have one of these events every couple years and everyone debates it like..."No no...really, this time, its going to happen"

With around £120k invested in tech/TSLA stocks, any suggestions for additional stocks to diversify across various markets? Looking for a well-rounded portfolio that balances risk aversion with returns meeting yearly inflation concerns.

Cramer said buy Tesla. That was a big indicator to sell😂

[ChengHao]

Tesla stock dipped severally, resulting to about 23% drop in the shares value this month. I seriously need suggestions on how to diversify my $400k portfolio made up of volatile TSLA.

Fall asleep and wake up at your Final Destination.

Please dont use Waymo and Tesla in the same sentence!

[danielmosley]

Some of these ppl commenting are not haters. They have a healthy skepticism and don’t blindly trust what they can’t see.

[MinhVu-iniz]

Elon said that in 2020, ive heard that one before 😂

[richardhunter]

weird how Elon was very specific about the price, but really vague and evasive about other things

[droomagon]

when we look back at this video years from now, we'll just laugh and think back how dumb people were, remember how years ago lots of ANALysts were saying competition were coming? nope

[c.romano]

Only one person came prepared for this interview

[TurfSurf]

Why it reminded me of Elizabeth Holmes so much?😂😂😂

As a Retiree living in South Florida I can see a potential market for this vehicle at a $30, 000 price point. Here its not unusual to see news reports about vehicle accidents between an 80 something and a 90 year old; and Auto Insurance prices reflect this fact. Many older residents do little driving, around 3, 000 miles/ year and stay in their locality traveling to local stores and medical facilities, mainly during low traffic hours. Reaction times can be longer for Seniors to things going on around them, and many tend to drive more slowly, especially on expressways or heavily traveled roadways. Giving them the option to ride along in a self-driving vehicle should be a popular choice for many.

Waymo is not the same tech. Stop referencing it. Dream building is the perfect reference. Dreaming.

Media wants me to short??? I’m going long.

The big question is if individual owners allow their robotaxi to be used in the robo fleet and it injures a pedestrian who is liable Tesla or the owner of the vehicle? Will insurance companies even insure a vehicle for passenger use with no steering wheel or pedals and will NHTSA even allow it? So far all the other autonomous vehicles in operation are company owned so there is one party liable for them, when individuals start to own them that changes the whole dynamics because what if some owners don't keep the cameras clean and the vehicles operate at a disadvantage due to poor maintenance? So many questions need to be answered first.

It’s super easy to look backwards and say what you got wrong or what you should have done. It’s much tougher to envision a radical future and set out to make it reality

[briancase]

Did that "little lounge" bit make anyone else cringe just a little? I think we understand; we don't need that to be explained to us....

[LeenNJ-ey]

What does supervised full self driving mean?

[peterjean]

Elon has been hanging around Trump for too long. I wish he would spend more time on what he does best. Elon now has a concept of a plan to release the Robotaxi. And I am ok with that. I can wait.
