> First of all, the guy is stretched way too thin. He runs two huge companies.

As a CEO and founder, if he doesn't do enough, he can place greater burdens on his executive staff.

Now, this can be seen as 'unfair', but to whom? Why?

> They are building cars that real people will drive. You can't rush or cut corners with something that will kill people.

I feel that this is up to government regulation. The government should prevent unsafe cars from entering the road, not leave it up to the judgment of car-company CEOs.

> However, I'm starting to lose faith in him.

I maybe a natural cynic, but I never had 'faith' in him. He's doing the best he can, but his success or failure isn't something I root for. If he succeeds, well with all luck the outcome will benefit us all.

If he fails, well perhaps his competition will succeed in his place. It might take longer, but having electric cars popularized in 5 years, or in 15 years isn't too big a difference to me.
