He has missed a few self imposed deadlines, but a lot of the bitching and moaning about failed Elon Musk promises ultimately comes from people misremembering or misrepresenting what was actually “promised”
I’m guessing you misremembered what he said.
What Elon Musk actually said was “Tesla may grant certain customers early access to a “feature complete” version of the company’s “full self-driving” (FSD) capabilities by the end of 2019, Elon Musk said in a call with investors Wednesday. Musk said that this wasn’t “for sure” — but that he thinks Tesla is on track for the release”.
Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ feature may get early-access release by the end of 2019
Anyone who witnessed this call could tell he really wanted to do this but was really unsure. The pace of technological development can be very difficult to predict.
It’s better - and not that hard - to look up what he actually said. Was it a promise, expectation, goal, hope, or off the cuff remark?
People tend to just parrot what the headlines are, which are often tenuously related to the truth. And some people make specious accusations or repeat outright lies because they have an agenda.
Be mindful of where you get your information.

the same repeat nonsense OPINIONs portrayed casually and confidently as fact, in order to force an uninformed listener to feel stupid not to believe them. they’re trained to prey on the psychology of the viewer, and are pathological liars.

I've always envisioned an individual hedge fund or other manipulator using algobots to sell in the necessary quantities to depress the stock in relatively low volume times of day and then cover (buy) when trading is more brisk in such a fashion that the combinations of the buying and the selling yields a net decrease in the share price. The idea would be to engineer a decrease in the stock price with a zero net change in the organization's short holdings. For example, today from 3 to 4pm we saw TSLA dip more than $2 into the close in relatively low volume. A manipulator would sell short sufficiently during that final hour to take a dip of less than $1 that would be associated with the macro dip and turn it into a dip of over $2. He could then cover in the final minute or after-hours and get a zero increase in the stock price associated with his buying because there's a willing seller at a moment when the transaction would not change the stock price. The question is, "who's that willing seller?" Another technique could be to look at the order book and see how much covering you could do without causing the SP to rise. The reverse would be to reference the order book and overload the book with selling per minute in such a way that you walk the stock price down. Look at many trading times with TSLA and the appearance is that someone is setting up a linear decrease in the stock price using very small stairsteps.
Edit: The gamesmanship of moving the stock price with the combination of selling and (later) covering can get complicated when you realize it's not all about volume. Sometimes it is about momentum by capping a climb through selling or starting downward momentum through selling. Sometimes it's about selling enough to hit a big whole number and trigger the stop loss orders for that number. Sometimes it's to take a piece of FUD and suggest that there's fear in the marketplace about the FUD by selling. Part of the gamesmanship is understanding what triggers other algobots to buy or sell and then using other people's algobots to enhance your strategy.
Trying to picture two entities selling shares back and forth with each other complicates the picture. Let me wrap my mind around the possible pros and cons for a manipulator working in such a fashion. Edit 2: My initial impression is that if you're trying to knock the price down, you want the fewest number of willing buyers, and so a team approach to selling and buying at the same time wouldn't be a viable concept.

A question for you investment experts that know all about this stuff... (and related to Tesla honest!)
Because I see tesla as pretty much unbeatable, I also made a few investments in a few tangential stocks which I think the growth in EVs and batteries would generate linked growth in. Two of them have done badly and I just *do not understand why*.
Here they are:
Kuka (robotics) stock ticker KU2:
KUKA AG (KU2.DE) Income Statement - Yahoo Finance
(I get that their profit has fallen but....how the hell? surely a robotics company is a license to print money right now?)
Sociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile:Stock ticker: SQM
(Lithium producer... seriously surely another money license?)
The Global X Funds Lithium & battery tech ETF. (stock ticker: LIT)
This is getting silly...how can this be DOWN so much? surely everyone is investing in batteries and lithium?
Am I just super-unlucky and picking the worst stock in every category. Normally I'd sell Kuka as I am so down but part of me thinks Tesla, or somebody like Tesla will just buy them at some point. Market cap 1.5billion...
Slightly off topic but not really.
I will be selling some of my TSLA over the next week. Not because I have concerns about the stock or the company, but to allow me to purchase 4 acre of heaven that my wife and I can build our dream house on and retire to. SO EXCITED!
Thus dream come true is all because of Tesla and TSLA and would not have been possible without. (Yes, I will make sure the garage is big enough to fit our Cybertruck when it gets delivered!)

I'll still have a holding, just not nearly as large. I'm a small time player anyway compared to most of the folks on here!Pity you can't wait until closer to EOQ; the stock seems like it'll be greatly increasing around then, either during run up or after results.
But congrats!
You know UBS is the largest financial institution in Switzerland, right? I think there's a better chance of getting your gold teeth back, or of them picking a side in the next war.And they flip on the true financiers.
Don't really need to. The Thacker Pass Lithium project, ongoing via American Lithium Corp, is a major new source near GF1 (from a company with $53M market cap)Do you have a source for that? I don't recall Musk ever hinting at getting into the mining of lithium! Not even once. Lithium is not much of a potential price or supply bottleneck.

Also, a surplus of lithium raw product is a good thing. Mining company managements are not stupid, they know why there is currently a surplus of supply and want to make money as much as anyone when demand starts growing again.
i don’t even know what that meansHow quaint! Did you read about CATL in the newspapers? Maybe you could telegraph an order?

Projects - American Lithium Corp.
"located approximately 4 hours from the Tesla Gigafactory, the TLC Project aims to offer an economic alternative to regional players such as the productive Ioneer Ltd. (formerly Global Geoscience) lithium claystone project, and even the oldest & largest lithium mine in the U.S. at Clayton Valley."
TL;dr Lithium is not the issue. It's NICKEL that Tesla will likely go after. Look for a play in Canada (Ontario/Quebec shield resources).
It's not just the headline, the whole article is carefully written to make it appear that the SEC may be investiging Tesla. Every single time they mention investigation it is of "the firm", never UBS nor Tesla. Totally reads like a FUD piece.Another super headline (not). Makes it sound like Tesla is being investigated, not UBS.
