A company, on the whole, can operate as described therein while still simultaneously producing "the world's top selling [whatever]".
I mean, this article basically proves that point - Tesla took up-front payments from people six years ago for a car that it still hasn't delivered, and the Model Y was the best-selling car of Q1 this year.

- jjulius 3y ago>I am not defending Tesla making promises... Ah, got it. Just a heads up, maybe try and refrain from quoting long sections about a company making promises and then immediately follow that section with, "This is a silly statement to make". I don't think I would've misunderstood your approach had you only quoted that first sentence about Tesla not being a car company.
- jrflowers 3y ago> They probably are on a secret mail list with Musk and are enjoying the secret progress updates. This is a good point. They probably have his phone number and call him up to chat when they can’t sleep. They probably have one long tandem bike that they ride around on together but you’ll never see the mainstream media report on that
