Then stop marketing yourself as though you're not. I don't care if the little asterisk in the corner of your website makes it clear that "it's just beta mode, bro", they clearly prefer to put out an image that suggests otherwise.
- ryaneager 3y agoI mean car companies have been releasing concept art of future vehicles since like forever so it’s pretty standard.

- jonathankoren 3y agoConcept cars aren't driven, let alone sold/given to actual customers.
- snek_case 3y agoAFAIK the Tesla Semi isn't being sold to general customers. Pepsi is participating in the testing program, but they knew full well that they were early adopters, and they're doing it in part for the positive PR. It's sort of like a closed beta.

- jjulius 3y agoGP was speaking about Tesla overall, not their concept art department.

- jojobas 3y agoYeah, but concept cars are well denoted as such and CEOs don't normally go all "this and that is production ready and it's financial suicide to buy anything else".
- wilg 3y agoYou're worried they're misleading semi truck purchasers or something? I mean they have made trucks that are being used, what's the problem? Is it just media coverage or something?
