I may be wrong—I own no TSLA and I'm pretty much the furthest thing from a professional investor—but I didn't think the comment about being "the climate change" company was actually about warm fuzzies, I thought it was about the potential financial upside.

My understanding is that very likely—whatever green energy technologies win out—energy storage and load shifting will be a major issue.

The entities that can build energy and power storage effectively and at scale will have a new and large market opening before them.

Tesla is in a decent position—by being near the front-edge of battery production and scaling there's real room for Tesla to be a major player in the world energy market.
