Forget quarterly delivery drama. In this clip, Matt and Bradford dig into why the core Tesla bull case still comes down to autonomy—and how Elon’s latest updates out of Austin could mark a major turning point.
They break down:
- What Elon really said in the new interview
- Why Tesla is starting unsupervised rides in geofenced areas—and why that’s not backtracking
- What it means to model short-term profits and long-term vision
- The role of U.S. regulators and how policy could accelerate full-scale Robotaxi deployment
