Right. Because one day it will turn out that all these people who bought the cars were actually sold toy cars and don’t actually have a car at all? How did they ever fall for such a con! Or maybe one day you find out that Tesla has been mining bitcoin on your car all this time! Or maybe Tesla was a front for Big Canabis and was using your car secretly to do drug runs over the border while you were at work!
I think the idea that Tesla is some sort of long con is preposterous. The company has been in business for 16 years and has done things people said were impossible many times. They catch a lot of flack for it in some surprising places.
Tesla doesn’t play nicely with regulators. This is true and is, perhaps, a sign of Musk’s leadership style. It is also, maybe, the attitude that has enabled them to prosper and innovate when the world was telling them it couldn’t be done.
