Perhaps don't market things as something they're not?
Imagine paying 30k$ so that some guy in India gives you regular handjobs 🤦
Now imagine that’s your job 🤦
They're not marketing them as something they're not. They're marketing them as something they will be...
I mean that's probably false also, but my point stands.
It's incredibly misleading to just omit the fact that they're remote controlled but misleading is very on-brand for Tesla.

That is false advertising—which is illegal.
LOL WTF? You think product concepts are illegal? 🤣
If you're lying to the consumer and not disclosing that it's a product concept, yes.
Who lied about what?
You're pretending as if he's just honest and this is just the most reasonable ways of doing things.
You're completely ignoring the intentional misrepresentation of the capabilities of the technology. The main point of the robots is to be autonomous, which they're not.
It's like if I were making some waterproof product and then made a huge presentation in which I have to avoiding getting any water on the product, while pretending they're immersed in water.
He's been doing that with full self driving for the last decade and the event showed it might be a decade more. It doesn't give much confidence.
Is Tesla selling their fully autonomous driving cars yet?
A promise from Melon means nothing.
Which is lying. Miss selling conceptually in the UK. It would be illegal.
