This is a marketing page, directly from Tesla in 2016. It is clearly misleading and/or lying in several ways, and Tesla has yet to update their direct marketing on their direct website. ------ Tweets directly sent by the CEO: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/866482406160609280?lang=en https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/866482406160609280?lang=... Are also marketing. And this was a lie of course, "coast to coast FSD" never happened, not in 2017, and probably never. It doesn't seem like the technology is capable of seeing stopped cars in front of it (let alone of a coast-to-coast drive without disengagements).

  I think you're being pedantic about inane details. The CEO participates in marketing, on Twitter, on Facebook. Tesla markets on their website, and through their employees and service centers. There are clearly a ton of Tesla influencers who are also being paid to shill the car and their features online (much like any other car company, social media shilling strategies are very effective). There are many, many web-based marketing strategies Tesla has, from referral links, to search-engine-optimization, to blogging, to Youtube videos, etc. etc. That Tesla doesn't participate in the traditional TV-ad marketing is a bit of a non-sequitur. They clearly have a huge online presence and leverage that to influence their buyers. If you've ever done SEO before, you'd clearly see how Tesla (and Elon Musk) optimize for SEO. Yeah, Musk says that they don't do marketing. But since when was Musk a trustworthy source of information? Think for a bit.
