An interesting implication of that statement is that all the hardware to make this functionality work is already in the vehicle if it's just a software update.

Why, yes, this blog posting from October 10, 2014, said that:

I love Tesla, but Musk's starting to smell a little like Peter Molyneux -- promising the world and delivering little. Get the Model X out (2 years late and counting...)

You've got to have ridiculously unrealistic standards to say SpaceX and Tesla have "delivered little".

In this instance though, it's more of selective delivering. He is still delivering on many of these features and "futuristic updates" just not on 1 specific piece of hardware.

I love Tesla, SpaceX and Solarcity and what E Musk is doing in these areas but I am strongly against cars that drive you around. This is all a push to limit our freedoms. What if I want to go for a drive? Soon we won't be able to drive cars because all cars will be automated.
