Yes, his forward looking statement was clear, just as Tesla's repeatedly-missed production projections have been clear.

Yes, but that is the sort of "boring" detail that he routinely lies about (as are ramp-up schedules, delivery amounts, revenues and that sort of boorish stuff only Wall Street nerds care about)

Yes, but when institutional investors pointed out holes in his explanation about how you could go from burning 1B a quarter with 3B on hand and not need a capital raise, they got "boring" and "next."
