He typically creates massive hype, well over what he could possibly deliver, not sure I've ever seen him temper hype.
Just remember the launch of Tesla auto-pilot, where he was promising full self driving within a year or two, so good that you would let your car work as a taxi while you don't need it and it would become a passive stream of income so great you would see your investment back in around a year! He actually said "our goal is to make Ilit financially irresponsible to buy any other car". This is not a man who "manages hype".
