“By the end of next year, there will be over a million fully self-driving Teslas.”
The promise
Musk reaffirmed Tesla’s long-standing goal to make all Teslas fully autonomous via software upgrades. He claimed that by the end of 2026, hundreds of thousands—possibly a million—vehicles will operate without human supervision. Tesla continues to refine Full Self-Driving software, but regulators still require driver oversight. Safety data show frequent human interventions. Supporters call it progress; critics see chronic overpromising.
