> Auto manufacturing is not suddenly going to become the most profitable business in the world. Tesla's mission statement has nothing to do with cars: "Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy". Transport just happens to be a very large segment that needs to be transformed to use sustainable energy so that's what they're focusing on. Tesla has just become an energy supplier in Texas. That's another market that's been stagnant forever and is going to see a huge shakeup when tech such as virtual power plant become widespread. Tesla is already running some of the largest energy storage for the grid in the world. Then there is AI. What other automotive manufacturer do you know that has 1000s of people working on AI, makes their own chips and has training data from millions of cars on the road? AI isn't just to make your car autonomous. There is the Robotaxi potential which in itself is an entire market. AI doesn't stop there: once Semi is out with autonomous driving, that will cut the cost of transporting goods by a large chunk - no more paying drivers and way less cost on fuel. That's another market entirely and will large fleet companies rushing to save cost by purchasing trucks from Tesla. In case you missed it (which I believe you have), there is autonomy in general manufacturing which Tesla is planning to target. That's yet another completely different market with a huge potential. Did you hear about the car insurance? Ye, that's another one which Tesla is targetting. I'm pretty sure there is a bunch of things I forgot. Tesla is not a car manufacturer. It's a behemoth in the making which will overtake Apple, Google, Meta, Fossil fuel and some more combined, times 10.
