I remember hearing a while back that Musk made an executive decision at Tesla to not use LIDAR. I thought: "That's a stupid decision. At least invest in making it better if you think its not sufficient" and I had a quite negative view of his engineering abilities ever since. Seeing as a Tesla can be fooled by a projector these days, I'm willing to die on that hill. I will admit that he is an exceptional businessman, most people would piss away a fortune if given one, but an engineer he is not, not by a loooooooong way.
