Did you really list things that are still being tested or actively in use now? Just curious: do you thinks he’s a God, and that he in infallible and never made a mistake? The dude has made more mistakes than most of the rest of the world combined.
100% of that list is in production today.

Tesla FSD is many standard deviations safer than humans.



iterating (making and correcting mistakes) at hyperspeed is what sets Elon apart from the rest.

Stand corrected on Tesla solar still being around after it absorbed Solar city. Believe it's still basically a pipe dream as solar tile roof system is around 100k+ to install.

Hyperloop is not a thing. Vacuum tube travel at 600mph? Yeah that'll happen. Pretty sure the miniaturized hyperloop test track is not used anymore.

Full self driving will likely never happen with Teslas technology as it solely relies on cameras I believe. Need lidar etc I think.

Don't believe you can buy Tesla Semis yet. Says after years of delays expected to be out this year. That's probably like the Tesla roadster that 1,000 people put down 250k for in 2017. Still waiting.

The boring company has conned vegas and Nashville out of millions and millions to make tunnels with human driven Teslas in them.to supervise. Guess even in a closed system they can't fully self drive.

I'm all for tech and someone like Musk if he wasn't full of **** that promised the moon while delivering vaporware.

in addition to commercial and residential availability today, TSLA also has 100 combined kW being generated by solar tile roofs at both their TX and NV giga factories

it is a thing. more companies are building them - the largest test track in the world was built in CO just last year - and costs have come down by a factor of ~10.

Full self driving will likely never happen with Teslas technology as it solely relies on cameras I believe. Need lidar etc I think.
TSLA FSD outpaces lidar autonomy by quite a bit. a TSLA owner letting the car drive itself is easily the safest thing on the road today.

you can join massive logistics firms like PepsiCo in ordering your very own TSLA Semi right here - https://www.tesla.com/semi

Vegas loop operates on FSD today

not sure there's ever been a larger chasm between 'vaporware' and what Musk's companies produce/have produced

It's not $100k but it is about 50% more than conventional

Probably right

I mean you can summon a Tesla robotaxi in lots of cities so I'd say it's here.

Yes, it relies solely on cameras

They are in full production but there's a backlog and the specs are incredible

Most of them still have human drivers, I'm guessing it's a different thing to get vision to work underground.


So now that you know most of his projects are much further along than you thought, does that change your opinion?

I don’t know what this means
It means that the REAL gambling on stocks came out today! Ha

Options are not for the faint of heart. I have made thousands on options...and I have lost even more! They are a riot!

One of the pods I listen to said that 55% of IPO’s values are cut in half from their offering price within the first 6 months of IPO. Anxious to see what happens here.
When are you making your move? About 4-5% of the company's shares are trading right now with the majority of the shares being restricted. Here is AI's best guess as to when the restricted shares are able to come into play:
  • Late July/early August 2026 — ~20% releases two days after Q2 earnings, plus a possible 10% price-triggered tranche
  • August–October 2026 — 7% tranches every few weeks
  • After Q3 earnings — ~28% additional release
  • ~December 8, 2026 — remaining 180-day shares unlock
Elon's massive pile is tied up for over a year. For any normal IPO, I could develop a plan. When Elon is in the mix, I really don't have a clue on how to play it.

I was going to review in the 4-6 month time frame.
