This is what I’m talking about, that was from the investor call, which you didn’t read the transcript to, and have a cherry picked paraphrase.
I can’t do the fancy formatting, but here’s the quote:
I mean, I don’t know what our competitors can do, except we’ve done relatively better than they have because if you look at the drop in our competitors in China sales versus our drop in sales, our drop was less than theirs. So, we’re doing well. But I think Cathie Wood said it best. Like really, we should be thought of as an AI or robotics company.
If you value Tesla as just like an auto company, you just have to – fundamentally, it’s just the wrong framework and if you ask the wrong question, then the right answer is impossible. So, I mean, if somebody doesn’t believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company. Like that is, but we will and we are and then you have a car that goes from 10 hours of use a week, like an hour and a half a day to probably 50%, but it costs the same.
Here’s the question he was answering:
OK. My follow-up, Elon, on future products. If you had nailed execution, assuming that you nail execution on your next-gen cheaper vehicles, more aggressive giga castings, I don’t want to say one piece, but getting closer to, say, one-piece structural pack, unboxed, 300-mile range, $25,000 price point, putting aside robotaxi, those features unique to you. How long would it take your best Chinese competitors to copy a cheaper and better vehicle that you could offer a couple of years from now? How long would it take your best Chinese competitors to copy that? Thanks.
So for your nuance, I see something along the lines of “Our value isn’t in simply the vehicles, it’s in the FSD/robotaxi concept, so speculating on someone copying our car it won’t eat into our business because autonomous driving will be the best of everything.”
Now, I don’t agree with all of that, but get some nuance in your life.

Again, you are putting meaning and assumptions that aren’t there.
See, you are incapable of nuance.
Also, you said he “literally” said something twice that is plain wrong. Enjoy your alternate reality.
