I give them full credit for their EV technology, but I'm still pessimistic about FSD. How much of the current stock price is hinged on the assumption that FSD is 'right around the corner'? What happens if Elon pushes FSD out

Yes, but regardless of their relevance to our daily lives, Einstein's equations do have strong implications about the basic structure of the universe. And that structure is fundamentally not compatible with ontological presentism.
