His big problem is over promise. Yes, he promises big but does not deliver. The press loves to play both sides. It reports the promises and the lack of delivery on his part too. The press couldn't care either way as long as it brings in readers.

He only overpromises when it comes to timelines. Most other things he actually achieves. Elontime is a real thing though...

FWIW a Martian year is 687 days.

Unfortunately that's not their financial year. They still need to generate cash or find more investors.

Oh come on ! The guy delivered the first practical electrical car and a freaking spaceship 10 time cheapers than the competition.

Show me somebody in this comment thread that remotely matches this.

Of course he messes it up and he is late. He is not creating a twitter clone.

He still overpromises frequently, the model 3 is one example. His claims of how soon Tesla's vehicles will be self-driving ready is another.

I would say the big problem is financial. Tesla is not profitable and needs money. The thing which keeps the lights on is the willingness of investors to keep supporting high valuations of stock and bonds.
