Tesla held its quarterly report yesterday, and stated that six major products would be ready for action next year. This would suggest that Tesla has a truly historic year coming up for it, set to disrupt trucking, affordable EVs, sportscars, taxis, driving in general, and, oh, just all human work.

In a cool video recently posted by XPeng, founder, chairman, and CEO He Xiaopeng tested out Tesla FSD for himself in the US and documented his experience, which you can see in the video below.
