I was wondering how soon someone would try to trash Tesla (or Elon) as it's completely off-topic and a false equivalence.
I see a lot of Teslas on the road, as I also drive one.
I see a lot of Superchargers around, and see (yup, I trust it) a lot of people around the world using them.
I see a lot of Powerwalls getting sold and installed.
I see huge Megapacks getting sold and installed.
I see a lot of solar being sold and installed.
I see manufacturing plants being built around the world.
I see that Panasonic is selling Tesla millions upon millions of battery cells, so they must be going somewhere.
I saw their earnings report for Q2 2021 and it sure seems like they are doing very well.
I see they have massive data and super computing power, currently being used and being built.
I see there are 70k+ people working for and getting paid to work for Tesla.
Oh, FSD is late. We've all underestimated our projects. So, this is the equivalency you're looking for? I see betas of FSD in cars on the road. I know people that are actively testing it. It's a hard problem, not a lie. It's just someone being overly optimistic, not overtly optimistic. I'm an investor, I understand the problem because I know what I invest in. I am not angry nor do I believe it to be a lie.
I don’t think the lies are of the same type. Lying (or charitably, being unreasonably optimistic) about future timelines seems less egregious than faking a demo.
