How reliable are Musk's targets?

Elon Musk is known for setting ambitious, often optimistic, targets for his companies. While this can inspire innovation, it also means many goals are not met, as seen with the Cybertruck's sales falling far short of the 250,000 annual target. This pattern suggests his pronouncements should be viewed with a degree of caution.
