Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
Used as a compact exhibit of Musk's repeatedly missed self-driving timelines, not as a recommendation.
A one-minute montage of Elon Musk promising Tesla robotaxis would arrive "next year" over eight years. It was published by Dan O'Dowd's media channel, which campaigns against Tesla's self-driving software.

Maybe the CEO of Tesla would feel less empowered to make those claims, if many of the darlings of AI, would not be silent, while sharing the stage with him during those wild statements. [this video]
8 years of Elon promising things within a year: [this video] The original Youtube link is dead (I wonder why) but as far as I can tell that one's a faithful copy.
[this video] (1min video, 'Elon Musk's broken promises') Musk's 2014/2015 promises are arguably delivered, here in 2025 (took a little more than '1 month' tho), but the promises starting in 2016 are somewhere between 'undelivered' and 'blatant bullshit'.
