Q2. On Monday Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted there will be a million potential Tesla robotaxis on the road in 2020 (because a software upgrade will turn Tesla Model 3s into fully autonomous vehicles that owners can send out on their own to earn money picking up paying passengers). Musk said that given this soon-to-be earnings power, each Tesla Model 3 sold today is worth about $200,000 to an owner (though the cars sell for roughly $40,000). Your thoughts?

Q3. Samsung recalled a folding phone that it released earlier in the month, as some screens were cracking from the folding. Presuming the technology gets ironed out, and the screen on your phone can be folded to the size that larger phones are today, or unfolded so that its the size of a tablet, with no fold lines or other flaws in the screen, how interested would you be in the product?
