>he implemented HW2, which is thousands of dollars of hardware going into every new car regardless of whether customers pay for it

Seriously? Do you know the take rate of the option? It's been widely considered to increase margin, but if you have other sources, I'm interested.

>He sold shareholders on buying Solar City using fake solar shingles which don't exist, that was $5b+ flushed down the toilet.

That's false. The solar roof thing was accessory to the acquisition. More than a hundred have been installed and are being used as beta tests to improve it further. Since the beginning, Musk said the v1 should be considered like the Roadster 1, i.e not intended to be mass produced until v3 (remember "BlueStar"?)

As for Alien Dreadnought, he did say that wouldn't be possible with Model 3. So OK, that was one failed promise, but the Model 3 production and assembly lines remains one of the most automated one in the industry.

So for this one little think (which is more a name than a project), you conclude that Tesla is fucked. Okay.
