Honestly "Musk always gives timelines that are completely unrealistic" is a pretty tired criticism at this point. Is it true? Absolutely. Does it matter much? Not really. They're clearly making progress. Not sure what more you want in real terms. Not being able to stick to self-imposed deadlines isn't ideal, but its also not a crime.

It wasn't just the deadlines, he also declared many things as already achieved, including some patently impossible (such as 200kWh Roadster). Perhaps worded so SEC can't get his bum, I don't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZeB7SwmkiQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZeB7SwmkiQ

  Why do you believe a 200kWh battery to be impossible?

    A 1.5-ton battery on a sport roadster? You tell me.

      Nobody said it was intended to use the same battery chemistry as other vehicles.

        No better chemistry exists outside a lab. Vaporware as it is.
