You can generate great returns for investors and mislead them at the same time.

  I don't feel being misleaden. Yes, Elon is sometimes over hyping things. I don't mind. He makes extremely cool stuff which sells by its merit. I like the visionary talks because a company that never talks about the possibilities of future is super-boring and IMHO can't be as successful as Tesla is - even if it doesn't materialize in the specified time span or in its entirety - because there'd be nothing truly new, just linear change otherwise.

    > I don't feel being misleaden. That doesn't mean you weren't. The rest of your comment almost reads like stockholm syndrome - or mostly just rationalizing being misled.

      Let me decide that, thanks. There's nothing to rationalize. Elon had some nice visionary talks which I like, but mostly don't care about - and I'm not going to be mad just because he said something will be in 3 years and it's in 6 or 9 - even 12 is good in my eyes, so what. I like his optimism much more than the """realism""" (read: pessimism) of mostly any other public company's management. His optimism is one of the primary things pushing Tesla forward - kill that and you kill the company. I mostly care about hard facts on the ground, and these go more than well enough. Along with my investment.
