Man that's so true, and something incredibly frustrating about the discourse around Tesla (and Elon Musk more generally). The discussion is dominated by people who either worship the ground Elon walks on, or who think he's a cartoon villain. Neither is true, of course. But most of the time, those are the framings which dominate. I really hate it.
