Musk was wrong. He said specifically and unequivocally that Tesla would be delivering fully autonomous vehicles to customers within a year, every year for the last 8 years.

Just to get ahead of anybody claiming it was not a firm promise, in 2019: “ I think we will be feature-complete full self-driving this year, meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up, take you all the way to your destination without an intervention — this year. I would say that I am certain of that. That is not a question mark." [1]

See that part where he says: “I would say that I am certain of that. That is not a question mark.” That is called a firm promise.
