Elon Musk promises $25,000 Tesla and says Model S 'Plaid' is coming soon

25. When Musk said it would have AP

I think he meant it would be "AP capable". I honestly can't see it having full AP at $25K. Also, Tesla has been making noises about making AP a subscription service. Each car has all the hardware, it is just a matter of turning on the software.

For the record, I am highly skeptical of the "self-driving taxi fleet" claims, one of the few places I think Musk is seriously overestimating the tech, and misreading the market. But what do I know, I am just an amateur observer.

I have been following the green energy/transportation market for a few decades, and became genuinely excited about it starting back in 2011. My wife and I have since gone the whole "tree hugger" route with solar/battery/EVs since 2014, and have been doing it in stages.

People get very hung up in Musk's personality (disagreeable/childish) and dismiss what is happening in the world with his tech. Wall Street dismissed yesterday's event since it talked about things that will happen in the future, not next quarter. But what was outlined to happen in "3 years" is like what happened in the PC marketplace from 1985-1988, or the cell phone market from 2007-2010.
