Tesla is heading into multi-billion-dollar iceberg of its own making

[delayed]

Self deprecating previous versions faster than expected does not correlate to failure.

Gotta love the write up that has a central hypothesis that is some version of "this company is screwed because people want their product so bad that when they don't get it they get really really upset"

As expected, based on it's actions and promises, over it's history.

There is a good choice of EVs from various manufacturers.

Is it just me, or does that seem backwards? If I purchased something with a specific feature, or promised future feature, and 5 years later it's still nowhere to be seen, I don't want a coupon for "my next purchase", why would I buy from the same place after they already lied to me before? The only acceptable solution would be to get back the extra money spent for that feature.

The time to address this productively was when “Autopilot” and “Full Self Driving” were announced. Tesla and Musk have been misleading customers for a decade now, and the FTC and other regulatory agencies have done next to nothing about it. I’m not expecting a serious crackdown at this point, but I’m also constantly shocked at the folks who still buy into this fever dream.
