Yeah, you definitely can. 1) Tesla driving fully autonomously from LA to NY by the end of 2017 [1][and many others] 2) Tesla producing 10,000 cars per week by the end of 2018 [2][3] 3) "Funding secured" [4] 4) All Teslas produced after Oct 2016 have all the hardware necessary for full self driving [5]. This was apparently before Tesla realized they needed/wanted to design a custom ASIC for full self driving. Many more.

Like the comments earlier mentioned - he got electric cars to the consumer market, in bulk, in less than 10 years. That alone brings a ton of respect. Now, if I were an investor, I would be inclined to agree with you. I do see that I am "moving goalposts" and should have specified what I meant in my initial post.

1) It's again that time of the year... although this time he merely promised FSD to be feature complete by the end of the year. I think same will happen 2021, 2022, etc. 2) That they did achieve pretty much that, just a bit late. 3) Head scratcher, but some speculation it was to fend off a hostile takeover attempt. A bit fishy indeed. 4) They do replace all HW 2 & 2.5 computers for free, if the owner got FSD package.

  2) Pretty sure Tesla is still not producing 10k cars per week. Their Q2 2020 update shows max quarterly production was ~105k in Q42019, which is ~8k per week. I can't find anything suggesting they have ever peaked over 10k per week. 4) Replacing old hardware is obviously not the same as shipping all the necessary hardware in 2016.

All were done on time, in Mars years, the calendar of his home planet.
