      Yeah, an article with such a headline should be banned from all news-themed communities since 2016 at the very latest, when he proclaimed that autonomous driving is a solved problem.

      I recall he claimed fully automated driving would be ready by 2016, and back then I actually believed him.

      When other makers said the technology was at least 5 years away, and probably more like 10, I thought they were losers who couldn’t compete.

      LOL apparently I too was an idiot for believing Musk, My wife and I even bought a house in the country, where driving a car is a must for shopping and daily life in general, in confidence that we soon would have fully autonomous cars.

      1 thing is for sure, when we finally switch to fully electric cars, there is zero chance they will be Tesla, and that’s not because he made 1 mistake.
