For shareholders and customers that makes sense. For everyone else not so much. There are a lot of people in the everyone else column who are happy to see an entrepreneur take risks.

> who are happy to see an entrepreneur take risks.

Are there really? I feel like a massive percentage of people are against Musk and Tesla precisely because he's trying to do something new, and take some risks.

It's like a majority of Americans don't want anyone to do anything radical anymore, like they're happy to stagnate.

You're overthinking this. What's going on is simply that when you say you're going to do something, people (especially the ones who've lent/invested money) expect you to do it. If you don't then you rapidly lose credibility.

Not so worried about when, there's no rush. It's just a shame to see the chaos where there doesn't have to be, that's all.

That's just the thing, Tesla isn't creating the chaos, everybody else is. Tesla setting huge goals and trying their best to reach them, no doubt exceeding Musk's true expectations. Companies fail to meet goals all the time, most of the time because the goals have been set intentionally unreachable.

When does matter a bit, there was a probability that other manufacturers might swipe the market under Musk feet
