9. Tesla Is Open to Mining Battery Minerals

As Tesla continues scaling its battery operations, the company is open to directly mining some of the minerals it need, Musk suggested. "We will do whatever we have to do to ensure that we can scale at the fastest rate possible," he said.

Separately, Musk asserted that the two most important things for outside Tesla investors to track are its self-driving efforts, and its efforts to bring down battery costs by scaling production.
