Agreed on the big value of robotics in the near term, but Tesla won't be the company to do it. Tesla will make an "affordable" humanoid but will struggle to get useful and robust autonomy out the door for the entirety of its offering. They thing to keep in mind about the "Boston Dynamics approach" is that in order to solve the hardest real world problems, you need to do one of two things: 1) Overshoot the capabilities of the system so that it is robust when actually deployed subject to the uncertainty of the real world (e.g. motivating athletic intelligence). 2.) Grossly constrain your environment so that uncertainty is not a factor. This is (and has been) happening in warehouses and factories for decades.
