Elon's business model was not to be in the car business long term but the your-car-is-also-a-taxi business and reaping the profits of not just selling cars but ride-sharing too. Triple dipping if you count the supercharger stations, basically collecting a fee every time you use your car. I can see the bull run when things are framed from the perspective of magical Christmasland, but there's a slightly larger than zero but still basically zero percent chance that FSD on Teslas will ever work autonomously and their cars are getting smoked domestically because they have competition now where they didn't before.
