The recent performance of Tesla stock has highlighted the importance of both lower-priced vehicles and self-driving cars.

This move would significantly expand Tesla’s potential market. Additionally, the stock surged 15% following Musk’s approval to sell Full Self Driving (FSD) software in China, which is expected to transform Tesla vehicles into fully autonomous cars.
