I wonder how profitable the supercharger network will be. Have they broken out the profit on the network? Solar panels are commodities, and Chinese producers have the advantage in cost especially since the Chinese government is subsidizing them. Batteries seem like a good profit center if they can get so big that few can afford to compete with them. Humanoids are in the distant future plus they have to make a market for them. Few people will want them and be able to afford them. Even large companies will have to see some real advantages to buy them. I've read about their AI efforts, especially the chips used for self-driving. They could be a great profit center if they can figure out how to modify them so others can use them and produce them in large enough quantities.
The real problem is that few companies can be good at multiple products so they need to pick the best and go full throttle on it.
