I think we will be feature-complete full self-driving this year, meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up, take you all the way to your destination without an intervention, this year. I would say that I am certain of that. That is not a question mark.

The approach JMM tracks
Each snapshot anchors the described approach to its primary source, without turning it into a recommendation.
From the 2006 Master Plan to Part Deux in 2016: reinvest capital into manufacturing scale, batteries, and self-driving, with each product line funding the next and hardware built to one autonomy stack.
Tesla Master Plan pt. 2 explains how everyone gets an electric carMusk repeatedly prices product decisions from raw material and process cost rather than incumbent pricing, and pairs volume growth with cost-down targets to defend margins on price cuts.
