Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks

Not to mention:

  • He’s been promising full self driving would be out of beta and readily available soon for over a decade now.

  • Cybertruck available in 2019.

  • one million Tesla robo-taxis by 2020.

  • Teslas will have a 600+ mile range very soon

And those are just some of his broken promises regarding Tesla, without even touching on widely held poor decisions like insisting on a “vision only” solution for full self driving, getting rid of the control stalks in the S and X in favor of touch controls on the wheel, etc.

And don’t get me started on the similar broken promises involving SpaceX, Twitter, Hyperloop, etc.
