Who cares. Few years here and there don't matter. Here's a video of the current FSB beta driving from San Fransisco to Los Angeles without driver intervention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQG2IynmRf8

I hear this repeatedly from people. "Who cares, it's marketing, he's cheerleading", as if Elon's quotes don't have a material impact on Tesla's stock price. They'll then cry and complain about "the shorts, the shorts", and how unfair it is that they're having an impact on stock prices.

Coast to coast means places like Iowa, Pittsburgh in winter, downpours, poor roads.

Not LA to SF on a perfect, cloudy (no sunglare) day on well-maintained interstate. Or a 14 minute video from a Tesla fan site that says "Here's a brief video of a 8 hour drive where, we swear, there was no intervention".

I don't care about the stock price. I just observe what the car does compared to "first car with Level 3 autonomous driving".
