At some point, Elon is going to have to stop with the lies. That's what they are, lies. Just tell the freaking truth, why is that so hard? I'm not saying they're intentional, a lie can be a lie even if it's not intentional.
I'm tired of "elon time" or "tesla time" or whatever excuse we've come up with over the years to justify the constant lies. Elon/Tesla lie so frequently that it's nearly impossible to find any truth... When have they EVER been right about any futuristic statement they've made? In all honesty I can't think of one... There's always an excuse of some kind...
It's to the point where I don't believe anything Elon/Tesla says...

This is very true.
When I was on the fence about buying my S, I didn't think/know to come here to suss out reality vs "what Elon says", and as a result was
incredibly disappointed with my first 4 months of ownership. When my AP2 car was delivered, it didn't even have cruise control, meanwhile the site's marketing material talked about features like EAP taking exits, and featuring videos of a model S not only self-driving, but opening the door like a Model X does... so their marketing hype and reality are WAY out of sync. Yes, we on this forum now justify it... but it's only because we've lived through it too many times.
We may be super-fortunate to have cars that get regular updates, but in my 25+ years of BMW ownership, not once did I ever have a feeling of my expectations and their marketing being out of line with what my cars ever did... including my weird i3.
