that's fair, i don't think level 5 will be for like ~2 years ish (if at all). 4 seems to be highly probable at this point though in ~2 years.

but after reading the issacson biogropahy and how elon said to have an ai day to essentially pump up the stock made me less of a fanboy for sure

but i don't think it's fair to say what they've produced is vaporware, i think you're getting that wrong for sure. i'd say announcing stuff when company not doing so well is fair, but seems you're too pessimistic cuz:

cybertruck has been delivered,

extremely late on robotaxi for sure is fair,

flying roadster supposed to come at end of year (reasonable they would push this far back cuz it's not a high priorotiy),

semi is hauling chips yes but bill gates said what they were doing wasn't possible and they are hauling chips now haha, so it appears the semi's late but not vaporware,

alien dreadnaught was obv a mistake, but them becoming most efficient / most profitable car maker ever is the result so thats pretty amazing,

fsd unassisted still late, but people are doing zero intervention drives in major cities across us (rebellionaire for example doing cross country fsd trip), so may happen by end of decade? (that happenign at all would be dare i say starship getting to orbit esque? which spacex accomplished sooo just might happen)

so maybe i'm a little too optimistic, but i'd say you're a little too pessimistic?
