Outwardly this looks like steering the boat toward the waterfall. I'm guessing this is predicating another move by Musk to "prove" to the stock market that Tesla is an AI company that happens to make cars, rather than a car company that has potential AI products. And (if so) it probably ties into that remark he made about using idle Teslas as compute resources.
Seems like Elon thinks he can use Teslas as compute resources without the cars being charged...
He'll happily use the last watt in each car's battery. Owners will get to their cars, find out the supercharger crashed after 30 seconds and no one noticed, then see that their batteries are dead because an atlas robot is struggling to learn the floss dance.
