    True, but how many tech related things have you seen that promote something but doesn’t actually come true until the final release.

    In this instance he is marketing what the final product is meant to do, but is showing people the prototypes so people can understand and get a better idea of the robot and its potential abilities once it is in full production.

      He’s been doing that with full self driving for the last decade and the event showed it might be a decade more. It doesn’t give much confidence.

      You’re pretending as if he’s just honest and this is just the most reasonable ways of doing things.

      You’re completely ignoring the intentional misrepresentation of the capabilities of the technology. The main point of the robots is to be autonomous, which they’re not.

      It’s like if I were making some waterproof product and then made a huge presentation in which I have to avoiding getting any water on the product, while pretending they’re immersed in water.

      Is Tesla selling their fully autonomous driving cars yet?

      A promise from Melon means nothing.
