Then (a) perhaps keep your mouth shut until you can deliver it, and (b) don't take people's money for something that you say is "only X years away" when it's actually X+3/4/5.

He has promised FSD is one year away each year since 2015. We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of "one year away."

So you're saying it's better to be like most people: to promise nothing and then deliver exactly that, perfectly on time.

When people can buy your product, tell them that they can buy it.

If you don't have a product that people can buy, keep your mouth shut.
