What's an example of this? His timelines are often much too aggressive for reality but he repeatedly delivers (eventually).
- dwighttk 7y agohasn't delivered full self driving (yet)
- tomComb 7y agoThe main example, of course, is in self-driving where he has most certainly not delivered. And he wasn't just a little off. But also his claims about being able to automate the manufacture of Model 3 turned out to be very wrong and to do terrific damage to the company - they are/were way ahead with their technology and should have taken a less risky approach to getting that tech onto the market and taking advantage of that lead. And how did he not learn from the model X experience?
- bobsil1 7y agoHe's more credible on physics and hardware than software.
- kurtisc 7y ago>he repeatedly delivers (eventually) This is essentially unfalsifiable. In the case claims about FSD or a person on Mars are wrong then this statement can only be proven wrong when Elon Musk chooses to admit defeat - suffering a significant personal financial loss as a result - or when he retires.
