You're not taking into account that Tesla is the emotionally conjoined twin of SpaceX right now, and until SpaceX IPO. Every one of my friends and co-workers knows I never miss an opportunity to shit on Tesla. From their refusal to use lidar, when the majority of the auto makers decided it's critical to collision detection (even roombas did FFS), to how filmmaker's lol at the inherent flaws of a camera-exclusive system as [this shot of forced perspective from LOTR could clearly illustrate to a child.](https://i.imgur.com/4fBoGm2.jpeg). Those things are external combustion engines, and my Volvo has an "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy" sticker on it. But SpaceX is a freaking *monster* of potential future growth that has investors looking decades ahead, but presently at the biggest IPO ever. Until they separate in people's hearts and minds, this is like trying to fight Robin in the Batcave and expecting it to be 1on1.
