Plus, while that's pretty cool and all, isnt he supposed to have fixed and delivered on promises made for more practical applications?

He makes his money by defrauding investors, not delivering the products he claims will totally exist "some time next year".

Approx 1.5 million Tesla customers paid for autonomous self-driving mode, and are still waiting for it. It was promised back in 2014. That say's it all.

Interesting and possibly related: These kind of claims influenced the whole car industry to "catch up." I drove my father's mint 2015 Japanese luxury sedan on a road trip last week, and the automated "safety" features are far from safe. Think unexpectedly hammering on the brakes at 85 mph because someone passed me. My theory is they were trying to launch features that were far from market-ready, because of Tesla's claims.

Who needs working wipers when there exists a concept car that will never be sold that can jump?!?!
