Meh.

Sure, stuff sounds neat, but where are you going to get the capital from?

Another secondary share offering?

I guess the most concrete thing I saw was new factory for Model 3. Shouldn't that be your only priority?

Not designing an electric semi truck on paper to entice Joe Q Public into stepping up for another secondary share offer?

I swear to god he could do it all just as described and there will still be people who have nothing to say but "meh."

Blows my mind.

I'm still waiting for him to deliver on his original promises. Like creating a profitable electric car company.

I give him credit for SpaceX, but Tesla's main product so far has been hopes and dreams.

Have you driven a Tesla?

Their product is very good.

Some people will always be petty. It says more about them than the object of their critique. You can cure cancer and someone will complain it took you long enough.

We should always be thoughtful and critical of ideas regardless from whom they are coming, but autonomously landed first stage rocket boosters returning from orbit is a _big_ fucking deal. There may be some blind worship, but we are not talking about a charlatan here.
