Lance Eliot (the author of that Forbes article) has an agenda. Ever since the Autonomy Investor Day where Musk doubled down on poopooing LIDAR, this guy's become extra vocal against Tesla. I wonder why. Perhaps he has a vested interest in seeing LIDAR succeed? He likes to flaunt his credentials to give himself more authority. I didn't dig too far, but he's definitely involved with self-driving tech.
Every writer critical of Tesla 100% always has an agenda, don't they? If it wasn't for all these agenda-driven writers, it would be nothing but 100% I love Tesla articles all day!
