I don't get your negativity here. It didn't read as negative.

  Ploy, Noun: A cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's own advantage. Synonyms: trick It definitely has a negative connotation.

    Can we get away from splitting hairs here? Would we rather he have said: "Make no mistake, this is as much a PR cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's advantage by Tesla to pump up their offering." ? A synonym may be trick. But the definition you cited fits what was happening perfectly without intending the synonym. Synonyms aren't always interchangeable due to nuances in meaning differences.

      Seriously. I feel like sometimes people argue not in regards to the content but actually to be right. They WILL split hairs just to be right.

    Not to me. Any plan designed to turn a situation to one's own disadvantage is by definition foolish.
