The Tesla fire situation makes me the most worried here, because the facts on the ground don't matter. The press ran with the story because it was explosive. So even if you had a much more confident estimate, you think the press is going to grok your math?
The analysis I did was horribly incomplete, as I mentioned. The branding and marketing for the startup is going to matter a lot because of how emotional this whole robotic story can be.
