Tesla shares climbed 4% in after-hours trading Wednesday as enthusiasm for self-driving advancements overshadowed weaker-than-expected Q4 earnings. CEO Elon Musk said Tesla’s full self-driving software is making progress. Unsupervised testing is set to begin at the Austin factory in June with a potential public rollout later this year. The company reaffirmed its goal to grow vehicle sales after last year’s decline and maintained plans to produce a more affordable model in the first half of the year, though details remain undisclosed. Tesla’s stock has more than doubled in the past year, driven partly by post-election optimism over Musk’s ties to Trump.
