    On the Q1 earnings call last week, Musk confirmed he would soon spend most of his time at Tesla again. That news, and Musk’s optimism about Tesla’s self-driving efforts, helped buoyed TSLA stock.

    Lol! How are people this gullible? Tesla will never be fully self-driving. Not without a lot of dead pedestrians in its wake, at least.

      Didn’t you hear? Trump’s administration is redefining “full self driving” for Tesla:

      Consumer Reports noted that under the new rules, vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot will not need to report crashes using the system unless it involves a fatality, an injured person requiring hospitalization, a pedestrian being struck, or an air bag deployment.

        They’re also making sure Tesla is excluded from the tariffs that it seems every other car manufacturer will be having to pay for parts and materials.

          I haven’t looked up the details, but apparently Trump went to Michigan this week to announce some kind of tariff reduction to Detroit.
