Part 12/13:
Industry observers agree that while near-term challenges—such as regulatory hurdles and economic headwinds—may impact Tesla’s growth trajectory, the company’s prospects over 10 to 20 years remain promising. If Tesla can successfully navigate upcoming regulatory approvals for full self-driving, which could add thousands of dollars in profit per vehicle, its economic model could radically shift.
Furthermore, Musk suggests Tesla will continue investing in innovation, including hardware upgrades, AI developments, and new market segments like robotics. Even if competitors achieve full self-driving capabilities, Tesla’s early lead and continuous innovation could sustain its dominance and competitive edge.
