I think I remember him saying the Dragon can deliver rovers to Mars using the abort rockets for a soft landing.

Red Dragon (spacecraft)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dragon_(spacecraft)

(excerpt)
Red Dragon is a proposed modified SpaceX Dragon capsule for low-cost Mars lander missions using Falcon Heavy rockets. Proposed uses call for a sample return Mars rover to be delivered to the Martian surface while also testing techniques to enter the Martian atmosphere with equipment a human crew could eventually use.[1][2]
