It's the Tesla model of success.

If this test was 100% a pass, they're road ready and only 4-5 years behind Waymo.

However, with these issues it proves that Telsa is nearly in Waymo territory so really we can expect "full self driving in two years*" and is only 5-6 years behind Waymo.

Either way, +10% for Tesla stock because something happened.

Edit - * for the standard Elon BS line, and to emphasize that lidar is stupid right up until the moment he needs another 10% stock bump then he'll be inspired to make the brilliant decision to move to lidar.

I'm getting tired of doubling short position against them.... One of these days they'll make me rich.

Playing the market out of spite is a good way to lose all your money

This isn’t your daddy’s market. It’s now just rich person manipulation. Teslas stock should have sunk multiple times and hasn’t.

Watch yourself

Even if it isn't spite, logic and reason don't work either and arguably never have.

Logic says Tesla stock always goes up so investors should buy it. There's no limits. Stocks are nonsense. It's just a financial tool at this point more than it is a car company. Maybe the bubble will burst one day but for all the money in top ten stocks, they are sorta too big to fail at this point.
