It's almost as if he's delivered on everything he promised while running the two most difficult companies in America simultaneously!
"We'll never have reusable rockets, what a joke..."
- serge2k 10y ago> It's almost as if he's delivered on everything he promised hasn't Tesla repeatedly missed price points and delivery dates. Or are those not promises. I actually think most of what he is talking about is pretty doable. The ones I'm skeptical of are his talk about the massive factory improvements (in a few years too?) and the magic buses with no aisles or entrances. By what measure are Tesla and SpaceX the "two most difficult companies in America"
- aerovistae 10y agoI'm actually curious about the bus, too. Sounds weird. But I trust his judgement, I'm sure it'll be great. He has a track record, you know. Regarding missed promises, if you're saying that as if to suggest that what he's promised isn't nonetheless coming true at a pace faster than anyone else could have possibly delivered, I think you're wearing blinders. Regarding "most difficult".......are you aware of other companies working on something as technologically and logistically and legally challenging as SpaceX and Tesla????
- warfangle 10y agoGoogle's doing a lot better on the whole self driving front. At least in terms of fatalities per mile.
- aerovistae 10y agoGoogle has a handful of their engineers driving around in weird-looking minicars. Tesla has thousands of regular consumers driving all over the world in sleek sedans. Let's see which bet pays off better in five years' time.
- warfangle 10y agoThe weird minicars are not what they've been road testing. The ones they've been road testing for ML look like regular cars. And they have yet to hit a pedestrian or decapitate a driver with a semi. Be real; Tesla's is basically a smarter cruise control. It can't actually deal with complicated scenarios.
- hueving 10y ago>Regarding missed promises, if you're saying that as if to suggest that what he's promised isn't nonetheless coming true So you're saying that, if I promise you I'll give you a thousand dollars in a week but then I give it to you in two years, I haven't broken a promise?
- aerovistae 10y agoI'm saying if you promise me you'll get to Mars in a week, and do it in 10 years instead, I'll still consider you a pretty astonishing person.
