master of unrealistic timetables[/url], but this may be the nuttiest one yet. These are humanoid robots that are supposed to be able to do just about any task a human can do.</p>
<p>Musk, as usual, gave himself an out if the robots don't start rolling off the assembly line in 2027, saying that they'll only be released when Tesla is "confident that it’s very high reliability, very high safety and the range of functionality is also very high."</p>
