That article has very TSLAQ-type vibes, and in fact links to two TSLAQ sites at the bottom. None of which are honest about how things have progressed.

I…don’t even know what TSLAQ is, but, where’s that Hyperloop, battery swapping, and robotaxi?

  TSLAQ is a coordinated effort by TSLA short-sellers to generate as much bad press about Tesla as possible in order to tank the price and make money on their short positions. Ensuring said bad press is accurate/fair is certainly not the primary goal. Disclaimer: I don't own any TSLA stock.

  First of all, Musk literally never said he would develop a Hyperloop. He literally said, here is an idea, I'm not gone do it, somebody else might want to try. Why don't people understand this? Tesla had a battery swapping but realized it was a terrible idea and instead built the largest global chairing network in the world instead. Are you seriously gone shit on somebody because they changed strategy with more information and build something that is actually more impressive? Yes, he was wrong about Robotaxi, or at least its delayed. Nobody bats 100%. But if you are actually honest with yourself and start in 2000 and look what he said, compared to what he did. Literally nobody else on the planet predictions are closer to what actually happened in terms of large scale problems.

Ah yes because any voiced criticism of Tesla must be rooted into big short money.

  No, because TSLAQ is literally mentioned in one of those website's footer.
