So exciting!

I actually think that at some point Tesla will just stop selling their cars and just profit from their fleet and the Tesla network.... if the Model 3 costs around $30K (for them to make)... but can last a million miles and earns $0.80 per mile, that's a huge amount of profit to be made, way more than they would get from selling each car.

So... I'm pretty sure that once Full Self Driving is released (hopefully by the end of this year, but maybe next year) the Teslas with that hardware will actually appreciate in value... pretty rare for a normal car, and very exciting for everyone.

@geekpowered is right in that all the accidents in Telsa's make the headlines... each of the 4 fatalities over the last 3 years worldwide has dominated the news cycle, while the 37,133 automotive fatalities just in the US just in 2017... don't get anywhere near the same coverage... and that's mainly due to all the people that are shorting the 31% of Tesla shares trying to mess with the share price. I'm sure people will eventually see past the terrible media coverage when they can play with their phones instead of driving... I mean, the productivity benefits alone are huge.
