Problem is he promised it was basically ready in 2016, and would be available for customers "next year". Yes "we" will eventually get there I think, but it will probably not be Tesla.
I agree, He is mostly an idiot because he can't help being a narcissist, it makes him behave irrationally with over confidence.
Exactly, obviously he has some sort of competence running a business, but you can be both competent in one way and an idiot in others at the same time.
Yes I admit the success of Tesla is a huge achievement, and I too defended Musk for making the electric car cool and also show it was feasible. When the critics began. I still admit that's a significant achievement, but today as ThunderF00t says, just because he may have been a net positive, doesn't mean we should look the other way when he does harm later.
