This is just plain lying by electrek...he started promising "self-driving next year" long before that.
You can go on the SpaceX website right now and book a trip to Mars for 2026.
Don't make me miss the good timeline like that
Earlier than that it's absolutely insane that anyone believes anything this dunce says now.
And The Music Man just announced this will be a monthly service to make stonk go up.
“The market will bear the cost”
I don't think it was next year every year before that?
It was just very soon before that.
He may have used "end of year" before 2018...I'm pretty sure he promised "coast-to-coast" FSD capabilities "by end of the year" back in 2016
Oh turns out my timelines are off, I thought the coast to coast promise was 2019.
It was in 2016, for the end of 2017.
"3 months maybe, 6 months definitely" is still one of my favorite quotes from his timeline estimates.
Not the "two weeks" for months on end?
It's one thing to continuously move dates like that, but the uniqueness of giving a 3 month window and saying it with such confidence is very amusing to me.
"3 months maybe, 6 months definitely" is still one of my favorite quotes from his timeline estimates.
"It could take more than 3 months but it definitely will take more than 6"
2 weeks
