After the recent Q4 2024 earnings call, Elon Musk’s promises for Tesla have once again sparked interest and skepticism. Musk announced the upcoming launch of Unsupervised Full Self-Driving in Austin, Texas, as a paid service. Additionally, Tesla plans to introduce more affordable models priced between $30,000 to $40,000. While Musk’s visions of autonomous driving and growth are compelling, they raise concerns about feasibility and delivery, as previous promises have yet to materialize. The focus on self-driving capabilities appears overshadowed by Tesla’s core competency of producing sought-after EVs. Amid the hype and grand claims, some observers hope for a return to Tesla’s roots: innovative technology and tangible products, rather than elusive advancements.
