I don't know if by choice or not, but I have read recent posts where people say they are still on 7.1. I'm sure there are plenty of later versions that people consider "released" or "existent" and it's not available for every user. Just making the point it's a ridiculous standard that if every user can't have it that it's considered to not exist.Aren't they on it by choice, i.e. owners not updating downloaded software?
1. If they are, then wow you just made an extraordinarily poor argument.
2. If they aren't, then wtf happened?
In either case, what you said in no way establishes a slippery slope or anything beyond the fact that people will say anything to defend a 6 month "missed" timeline.
kind of like the statement, "it will be working in December (of last year)" .... that statement was pretty much staged, too.Every release to date has been staged first. ......snip......
A standard so ridiculous that it was unlikely to be what the person meant.I don't know if by choice or not, but I have read recent posts where people say they are still on 7.1.

Thanks - and to actually quote things - on 5 Oct 2016 Dean Miller tweeted "when will we be getting an upgraded browser in the S/X?" Elon replied "When we upgrade the core Linux OS to 4.4, which is probably December". Note that Elon didn't specify which December - maybe he meant December 2020?They might not be tied together in a technical sense outside of Tesla but Elon has said repeatedly over the last year or so that the browser upgrade everyone is asking for would come with or just after a kernel update. People don't want to bother to dig up quotes and screenshots of tweets every time so they just mention them together.

17.17.4 hit the first car on the 6th of May and had hit 10% of all cars by the end of the first day.
I know what you mean but it gives me the heeby-jeebies to read here about things hitting cars.
Bruce.
This is not all that easy accomplish. Complaining is much easier.
Oh I agree 100%. But experience suggests that you don't come and spout some unreasonable release dates to start with. In fact I would think any date should be tweeted only very close to the release, once everyone is confident that they are close.
But my beef is not with the unrealistic dates. Not a big deal. But tweeting stuff that may never happen - that I think should be avoided at all costs.
They never were willing to release a product until they got all their latest ideas included.
Devil was in deciding when the product was good enough to be acceptable to the consumer, and when letting the engineers work a little more on the improvements to get out an even better and more advanced product.
That is Elon's dilemma. Do you release a product because the forums are clammoring for it, or wait until it has more development and is even better.
I would think any date should be tweeted only very close to the release, once everyone is confident that they are close.
Truthfully, Elon is probably better at estimating release dates than I ever was.
In regards to time, Musk may well set more aggressive delivery targets for very difficult-to-make products than any executive in history. Both his employees and the public have found this to be one of the more jarring aspects of Musk’s character. “Elon has always been optimistic,” Brogan said. “That’s the nice word. He can be a downright liar about when things need to get done. He will pick the most aggressive time schedule imaginable assuming everything goes right, and then accelerate it by assuming that everyone can work harder.”
Reminded about the initial 2003 target date to fly the Falcon 1, Musk acted shocked. “Are you serious?” he said. “We said that? Okay, that’s ridiculous. I think I just didn’t know what the hell I was talking about. The only thing I had prior experience in was software, and, yeah, you can write a bunch of software and launch a website in a year. No problem. This isn’t like software. It doesn’t work that way with rockets.”
