It’s easy to predict things with the benefit of hindsight. Not very useful though. I’m willing to make the prediction that Elon will succeed in the consumer robotics space where others have failed. The exact time it will take is largely irrelevant. Tesla has the vertical integration to eventually make a consumer robot.

As in "management unscrupulous enough to release an overpriced, unsafe, half baked product and adoring followers gullible enough to pay for it".

In that sense, they truly ARE "leveraging their FSD expertise in a new product space".

Also, for the record, my bet is that Tesla will succeed with the first mass produced useful humanoid robot.
