You seem intelligent so I have never mentioned this before as I thought you would know but just in case when TSEx was set up a Chartists thread was set up for Chartists and those who like that kind of thing.
It seems to have lost some momentum but perhaps you could inspire a Renaissance of this dark art.
Staying here however will just further cement opinions as you continue to post your incomplete or inaccurate information to make out your case.

PS: As to the rest of your questions:
“The Founding of Tesla
Tesla (
TSLA) , Inc. was founded in 2003 by the engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California. It was originally called Tesla Motors, a name the company changed in 2017.
The company was named after the 19th-century inventor Nikola Tesla, best known for discovering the properties of rotating electromagnetic fields. His work led to what is known as "alternating current," the form of electrical transmission still used today. (This was as opposed to the far less efficient system called "direct current" favored by Thomas Edison.) Tesla is historically noted for his significant contributions to electrical engineering and sciences, and in recent decades has become a pop culture icon among engineers.
At the founding of Tesla, Eberhard served as its CEO and Tarpenning served as CFO. They launched their company to develop and produce an entirely electric car, in part, based on the favorable reaction test markets had to General Motor's (
GM) previous electric car experiment the EV1. Although GM only ran this program from 1996 - 1999, producing a limited run of cars that it never released for public purchase, it was generally considered successful from an engineering standpoint.
Eberhard and Tarpenning wanted to build upon that success.
Although Musk has long been the face of Tesla, he did not join the company until 2004. He invested $30 million into the company and became the chairman of its Board of Directors. (Notably, Musk would also help raise money from Google (
GOOGL) founders
Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 2006.)
Originally, Eberhard and Tarpenning dreamed of building an entirely electric sports car. In 2006 they unveiled the prototype for their Tesla Roadster which entered production in 2008.”
Tesla’s first year of declaring a profit took until 2017.
It is important to note that Tesla’s founders were not inventing an entirely new paradigm by creating a new form of Artificial Intelligence.
They were building on the work started by General Motors in 1996 and by comparison their technology was already mainstream. Electric vehicles had been around for over 100 years in 2003.
So definitely far too early for any reasonable person to be laying down an if not by such an such a date timetable as you are requesting.
Brainchip is but a toddler by comparison to Tesla which only released Dojo in the last year or so and has still not finalised how to make its autonomous driving work to the satisfaction of regulators.
