But during the call Musk also shared his prediction<\/a> for the future of ride-hailing, and if his vision becomes reality, you won’t need to own stock in Tesla to earn some greenbacks — you’ll just need to own one of the company’s green vehicles:<\/p> We absolutely see the future as kind of a shared electric autonomy, so that you’d be able to do ride-hailing or share the car anyway, you know, sort of a long-term model that’s probably some combination of like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb. There will be Tesla dedicated cars for ride-hailing and any customer will be able to share their car at will, just like you share your house on Airbnb.<\/p> So, it’s a combination of those two models, I think is pretty obvious where things are headed long-term. The advantage that Tesla will have is that we’ll have millions of cars in the field with full autonomy capability, and no one else will have that. So I think that will end up putting us in the strongest competitive position long-term.<\/p><\/blockquote> If Musk’s right, your Tesla could one day earn money ferrying people across town while you sleep.
