Getting people hyped on green technology has a ton of value.

  I think this is a large part of why he is getting a pass.

  It's been a while since that was his primary storyline w/r/t Tesla.

    Was it ever the main storyline? Clean energy isn't sexy compared to the low rumble of a gas-powered V8. Heck, even "safe" cars aren't sexy. "My car has the highest NHTSA rating, m'lady!" But fast cars are sexy, and so are high-tech self-driving cars. So of course that's the storyline used to build hype. The promise of FSD is an acceptable "noble lie" to drive adoption of green tech.

    I think he does a lot of stuff wrong, but between home and grid batteries, solar roof tiles, superchargers, virtual power plants, the cars and the semi, I'd they're doing okay on the 'getting people excited about green tech' score. If anything, I wish he'd spend a bit more of his time and energy on that kind of thing.
