    I think they will exist in 10 years but they won’t be making their largest profits from cars. It will be robotics, and only if they manage to beat every other tech company that will also go into robots…

    Elon will get old soon too and what happens then with the company. It’s all based on Elon Musks personality.

    Maybe space exploration will take off and they will build moon bases and shit…

      Robots already exist. They’re used in manufacturing worldwide. Tesla doesn’t sell any to anyone. They are not even competing.

        Did you think I was talking about robots that already exist? It’s kind of hard to miss that those exist I think.

          You’re referring to robots that do not exist and therefore have not been designed or have been found to have a use for. Kind of hard to have a business that is supposed to sell a product it does not design, own or exist.

            Oh OK. Yeah then I understand how you are thinking at least. Well, when it exists, you will see. :)

      These are the kinds of stories people who keep bidding up the price tell themselves.

      IMO, if any car company is going to make a breakthrough in robotics, it will probably be Toyota. Unlike Tesla, they’re not faking things.

        I dont own tesla so have no stake in what happens, and I believe more in Nvidia than Tesla for robotics too. We will see.

          nVidia is completely tied in to the whole AI bubble. I don’t know if it will survive once that pops.
