At the end of the day however, it is not Tesla's responsibility nor in their best interest to educate their customers to make intelligent purchasing decisions.

If you want change in this regard, it's not going to come from Tesla.

It can lead to buyer hesitance, which is a problem. Why buy now when the car can suddenly become better? Without any understanding of when it would get better, or how much, the fear of the regret can be substantial.

Well if BMW communicate upcoming changes much better than Tesla do, maybe I'll buy BMW instead. Shrug.

depends what kind of brand they are trying to develop. with cars many people are still traditionalists and stick to what they were happy with.
