Betting that it'd work and increase the value of your car. And Musk is still selling that it'll work really soon now (of course, he also said it'd drive across the country by itself by 2018):

2020 Q4 Earnings call, 27th Jan 2021 (according to https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/01/27/te...)

Musk: So -- and this is -- basically I'm highly confident the car will drive itself for the reliability in excess of a human this year. [...]

<later>

Director of Investor Relations: [...] The next question is, why are you confident Tesla will achieve Level 5 autonomy in 2021? [...]

Musk: I guess, I'm confident based on my understanding of the technical roadmap and the progress that we're making between each beta iteration.

Am I understanding correctly that Elon is confident in Tesla jumping from level 2 to level 5 in the next eight months?

Yes, but given he was confident they would hit level 5 three years ago, his confidence doesn't seem to be worth much.

Appears so, at least for what they can internally do. Also was surprised he's still pushing that.
