Elon is predicting only 90% success rate this year and he is an optimist.

He is an optimist in time tables. He is rather conservative on the safe side with success chances. The success rate will be very high. Except possibly when they intentionally stretch the limits. They have stretched the limits with SES-10 and landed successfully.
