Tesla makes and sells: cars, insurance (based on realtime informatics which completely BTFOs actuary tables which is the literal equivalent of checking your horoscope on whether you're gonna die on the road that day), stationary power packs for large scale energy projects, powerwalls for small scale grid energy, solar panels, and the autobidder which basically is an ML driven stock market app for selling and buying energy credits against the energy ecosystem of a state or even country.
Meanwhile, on their product lineup for the next five years is: a truck, a semi, a fucking labor shortage addressing robot, dojo, and full self driving.
And everything that is motile, is powered by the same NN chips, use the same vision camera system; and have massive synergistic potential. Furthermore, they have partnerships with SpaceX which allowed them to create a new metal alloy they use for their front, rear, and structural pack gigacasts; which are to be applied to all four car doors within the next 1-2 years.

Oh and to summarize all of the above, have ~13 billion in cash on hand to invest forward back into the company, and ONLY have $1.4Bn in debt left to pay off.
