I'm afraid you have drunk the kool aid. Self-driving cars are an idea as old as the car itself, and many companies are much further along than Tesla who are stuck on their "no LIDAR" stance when LIDAR is rapidly becoming cheaper and more available. Almost ironic from the company that bet on lithium batteries for cars. The robots are a demo gag (much like the smart summon, or the cybertruck, or the semi, or ..). The "solar tiles" are a fire hazard and the Tesla solar business a total shambles, which makes sense since it was just a nepotistic bailout of Solarcity. Hyperloop is dead and so is the Boring company.

SpaceX alone succeeding is a once in a century event. Tesla kicking off EV for the world as well.
