What exactly is your point? If you can't demonstrate your product while following your own safety procedures, that doesn't give you the right to break them.

  Do you also complain when [literally any other automaker] shows off their new car doing donuts or skidding around corners because that is "unsafe use"? Promotional material is not instructional material, and should not be treated as such.

    If James Hackett were flooring a Mustang around a corner on public roads during a 60 Minutes interview while boasting about their new traction control I would be in a fit of rage. The "you're being unfair to Tesla because you aren't complaining about other automakers" meme has to die, because Tesla often does what no other automaker dares. This leads to their biggest triumphs (and there are many), and their worst mistakes. I guess that's what happens when you optimize for decisions per unit of time, right?

      > The "you're being unfair to Tesla because you aren't complaining about other automakers" meme has to die I too am tired of people misdirecting conversations. Maybe it's our attention deficit culture, or maybe it's whataboutism spread by masters of the game such as China. Why does everything need to be on the same level? I can criticize Tesla for one thing, and another company for another.
