"Look, ma! No hands!"
The same day the Tesla Model S and Model X refreshes debuted, the automaker's famous CEO discussed a few other things during the quarterly earnings call. Elon Musk could have spent a chunk of time focusing on the fact Tesla, for the first time ever, had a profitable year in 2020, though this was largely thanks to selling EV credits to other automakers, which isn't a new practice. "2021 is going to be more exciting, Musk said. "I think it's going to be a great year for Tesla."
But he didn't stop there.
He also said the company's Full Self-Driving system will be capable of Level 5 autonomy by the end of the year and will be capable of driving vehicles anywhere regardless of conditions with zero need for any human interaction. Why is this so controversial? Oh, where to begin.
