Re: Am I the Only One Who Wants to See Elon Frog-Marched Out of His Offices in Handcuffs?
On the whole Musk has delivered far more than any other individual since Thomas Edison. Sure, some of his promises are over optimistic (he now admits that "self-driving cars are hard").
That's.. a bit optimistic. See also-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1
The General Motors EV1 was an electric car produced and leased by General Motors from 1996 to 1999.[6] It was the first ever mass-produced and purpose-designed electric vehicle of the modern era from a major automaker..
But for some reason, Tesla's now worth more than GM, despite delivering far more vehicles. Plus GM delivered their Volt. Tesla delivered it's Model S two years later. Since then, Musk has also revolutionised mass transit by having drivers drive 3 passengers @30mph through a drainpipe under Vegas. Also promised a faster version having 600mph pods flying along on a cushion of air.. In a near vacuum tube. Even thoug h none of that's been delivered, he's confident he can deliver shipping containers on EV sleds as well.
Oh, and there's the Tesla Semi, the Cyberduck, the Roadster Mk2, Cyberquad or just the solar tiles he's currently been in court over.
But basically nothing original, and very little delivered as promised.
