Tesla is becoming more of an artificial intelligence and robotic company, says Elon Musk - Electrek

Elon Musk made the argument that Tesla is going to be known more as an artificial intelligence and robotic company. For a while now, Musk has been pushing this idea that investors shouldn't just see Tesla as an automaker and energy company, but as a group of startups. He argues that Tesla's service centers are a startup, Tesla's insurance company is a startup, Tesla's automation group is a startup, etc. In that vein, Musk now claims that artificial intelligence and robotics are going to be just as synonymous with Tesla as cars and energy. The CEO commented during a conference call discussing Tesla's Q1 2021 financial results: Although right now people think of Tesla as a car company or as an energy company. I think long term, people will think of Tesla as much as an AI robotics company as we are a car company or an energy company.
