I’m surprised every time I see anyone believe any claims made by Elon Musk at this point. He’s an excellent marketer with a clear business strategy - promise an exciting new technology (“Level 5 by 2018” [1], “wait actually 2021” [2]), take money for “pre-orders”. No need to deliver. Same idea with the 1 million robotaxis and a roadster by 2020, and the Cybertruck by 2021 [1]. I’m just surprised so few people have caught on. Maybe CEO of one of the largest tech companies in the world really is just “bad at estimating”, but if it’s a marketing/fundraising technique, it seems to be working. Not for the customers of course. Bummer for everyone who pre-ordered fairy dust.
