Musk has never hidden the fact that he is a workaholic nor that he acknowledges that it takes a long work week to get things done.

The cult of Tesla continues to grow. Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla drivers could make as much as $30,000 per year if they add their car to a fleet of robo-taxis once the cars go to full autonomous mode.

Owners could add their car to the fleet and make money via Tesla's car sharing service while they are at the office or even asleep. Tesla revealed more of its plans related to autonomous driving this week at its Investor Autonomy presentation.

Select investors were invited to the company's Palo Alto offices where they were able to test drive vehicles with advanced self-driving technologies still under development.

Self-driving cars here this year

Musk is confident the Tesla's vehicles will be fully autonomous by the end of the year. Though it is unclear if the correct regulations will be in place to support the cars by that time.

Tesla is leading the industry drive towards fully autonomous driving and will no doubt be lobbying the local and federal government to push legislation that will allow the cars to operate.

Speaking at the investors this week, Musk said not choosing to drive a Tesla in the future would be like choosing to ride a horse.
