>>It makes me worried that they might be deluded about other things too.
Tesla will fail. But they will fail at 5% of their goals, and achieve 95% of that goals. It will still be called 'Failure'.
To avoid that 'Failure' tag, other companies won't even try.
Do this process enough number of times. And it will appear like Tesla is failing all the time, and yet achieving almost 100% more than other companies.
The problem here is in defining success in terms of binary outcomes of success and failure.
