    I think it’s more likely that he is looking for excuses for the years of delays on the cyber truck.

    Now he can blame it on his “desire for perfection” instead of admitting that his timeline was never viable

      The design isn’t viable. They could have developed a new car in less time if it wasn’t going to be an absolute nightmare to produce reliably.

        Let’s not forget about the new Roadster that was due to enter production 3 years ago.
        Everyone that bought one gave Tesla a $250k interest-free loan.

        This is all starting to seem intentional.

          At some point, once consumer rights are eroded enough , the straightest path to profits is just downright theft. Take money now, worry about product later. It’s literally inevitable and the video game industry is really fuckin good at it.
