- avs733 8y agothis is the point I see getting lost. This isn't someone overstating the how good a pair of pants make me look. It's more like selling a flame thrower as a weeding tool. I know that sometimes these lines are objective, but acting like you can't tell okay and not okay apart because the line is gray in some cases just seems to be bad faith. If you are okay with Tesla misleading selling a prototype feature in the name of disruption, own your argument. If this level of risk is just okay to you because of the potential long term upsides...I disagree but I respect your willingness to say it. Just don't make a different one because you are afraid of the social consequences of your actual point.
