If you look at SpaceX launch schedules, many are delayed for several weeks/months. Yet it has a better public image than Tesla. I think missing deadline isnt that unexpected, it happens in many projects. If the goal is still achieved at a reasonable time after the deadline, it is still a success imho. It means the project is now a reality, and that's awesome.
- GW150914 8y agoMissing a launch in rocketry is a normal and expected part of life in the industry, and no matter who is launching it happens. Missing targets for producing a car isn’t. This is what people mean when they say “comparing apples and oranges.”
- antpls 8y ago> Missing targets for producing a car isn’t. Why should we trust you on that fact? Do you have all the documents required to prove that all the previous car models of all manufacturers in the world were built and sell on time? In my experience (not about car manufacturing), several projects didn't meet the deadlines, and still succeed at the end.
