I guess I don't hold a super negative connotation of the word ploy. I didn't intend to condemn their actions as unsavory. But if ploy is defined as "a cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's own advantage", then I think it's a fair word to use. It's just "reacting well and putting a positive spin on something" worded differently.

>"a cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's own advantage" Sounds like the plan is to everyone's advantage? * Owners get a prompt fix for a newly discovered safety issue (2 weeks ago), and clear reproduction steps. * Tesla looks proactive, obviously. * They're not taking the drastic (but expensive) option of replacing all seat belts, which makes investors happier. * I think they're asking nearby owners to drive in, to prevent jamming their shipping infrastructure.
