So when he promises fully autonomous driving is going to happen this year, you believe him?

They will take a very long year to finish it, with very long hours.

These are not your kind of years, procrastinating underperforming you cannot judge.

A lot of big tech CEOs are promising full driving this year, they just don't have the cajones to say it. Elon is just saying the quiet part out loud
Except that in 2025 Elon Musk promised FSD in 2017. A lot of marketing delivers grandiose claims but Musk's are extraordinarily grandiose & unrealistic even by marketing's hyperbolic norm.
There was a web site[1] that cataloged Every claim and prediction Elon Musk has made and how long it's been since he made them, but it looks like they stopped updating it. It was probably a huge amount of work since he makes ridiculous claims every day.

I believe the post you're responding to is sarcastic.
Where are they promising it then? Board meetings? I don't think lying (or creating unsubstantiated truthyness) is the same as saying the quiet part out loud.
