How Time have not managed to throw him Person of the Year yet, I cannot understand. The cars, the solar network and SpaceX. They're huge undertakings.

may be a reason why Musk isn't there yet.
The article compares the Model 3 to the Bolt. I think in the second phase of his unveiling, Musk will announce that the Model 3 will be self-driving. There were strong indications in his Twitter AMA yesterday that it won't be driven like a normal car.
In what sense? Look at European NCAP safety ratings; the Model S is great, but certainly didn't "top anything else". There are quite a few cars with better overall safety ratings.
And speed? Good acceleration, sure. But not faster than anything else. Top speed either. Where does this myth originate?
For speed I meant the 0 to 100km/h, but anyway you're right, not the fastest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_car... , only number 6. Maybe seeing it faster than a McLaren made me assume it was number one.
'if you want to have EV, all you have to do is buy the best cars we just made' kind of.
