Forgive me if this is a silly question but when he talks about "beautiful solar-roof-with-battery", is he talking about car roofs or roofs of buildings? An electric car with a solar roof that charges all day would be pretty cool.
Anyone else think AbstractTelsaFactoryFactory?

Buildings. A car roof isn't enough area and isn't pointed in the right direction.
I really like this, but the laws of supply and demand still apply. If you live in a sparsely populated area there's not going to be much for your car to do.
Great for those in urban centres, but then if you lived there why bother owning at all when there will be more cabs to hail?

I hear about bus drivers and truck drivers getting into accidents due to drowsiness enough that it's a constant worry whenever I'm on the highway next to one. I wonder if I'd feel safer if i saw a Tesla Semi knowing that were wasn't a human behind the wheel. Should autonomous vehicles be identified as such (special lights or label) so that real humans can know not to be erratic around it?
Historically yes, if you cause problems your licence is revoked and in some cases your vehicle is seized.
I look forward to the rise of the machines, with humans losing driving privileges for simple things like wandering across lanes without signalling, running red lights, hitting pedestrians or bumping other vehicles in the parking lot.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Where has he mentioned semis or buses? I thought I had been paying close attention.
I'm sorry, I've read/watched every interview or press release or tweet he's given in the past 5 years. I couldn't tell you exactly where individual bits came from.
