I guess that's true if you stretch timelines to infinity. I'm still waiting on:

- L5 autonomous driving

- $35k Teslas

- Hyperloop

- Lunar trips to the moon on spacex

- Humans on Mars

But I guess if we just consider those delayed, then all good.

FSD 14.2 is available to the public and anyone who has tried it can tell you it is an incredibly impressive system that is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was just six months ago and by far the best available to purchase worldwide. FSD robotaxis with no people in them have been seen on the streets of Austin. I expect that this one is within two years of being done.

As has been pointed out, the Model 3 has been below $35k inflation adjusted many times. There's been a lot of inflation, you may have noticed. And if that's not good enough for you, they did actually sell a $35k model for a while, though I doubt they made money on it.

I don't recall Elon promising that he would build a hyperloop on any timeline. In fact I remember him saying that he wasn't going to work on it personally.

SpaceX is under contract with NASA to build the Moon lander. I don't know what else you want here.

Humans on Mars is still SpaceX's main objective and their actions are consistent with that. Nobody would have started the insanely ambitious Starship program just to launch things into Earth orbit or the Moon.

I won't go through all the things that Elon has promised and achieved late, but the list is long and impressive.
