As Tesla's profits sink, Musk reaches for an autonomous future.

As Tesla car sales faltered, Musk delivered an optimistic pivot: Tesla isn’t a car company.

This is a decent summary of the earnings call. The car sales were down and boring. Elon didn’t like talking about those. Instead, the bulk of the earnings call was on Robotaxis, AI, and Optimus (bipedal robot).

Yes, a throwaway line on Model 2 was also mentioned, but its unclear what the specific plans for that are. Cybertruck and Tesla Semi were also discussed, but not Roadster.

    Its almost like none of you actually know anyone who owns these things. Or remember cars like the ford pinto.

    Tesla is successful. Telsa will outlive Elon and it will become a beloved car brand again someday. Like it was before Musk revealed who he really is unabashedly.

    We all might be dead at that point but there will be new Teslas being built for decades. Try to remember, there are a lot more people than Elon who are doing great work in spite of one douchebag who we now know just needs to go.
