It's a reasonable thought experiment. Though it seems unlikely to be true it logically follows from the rest of the comment. This doesn't look like FUD to me.

You're not being very charitable here; you're assuming the parent has bad faith. Why can't we just be a bunch of people having fun together on the internet?

I strongly suspect the parent was arguing in bad faith. The word choice of "cheating" and the baseless allegation that outside of the specific test crashes that there were likely to be fatalities is indicative of bad faith.

A good faith argument could be made to discuss how the crash tests like any sort of benchmarking are likely to lead to optimization for the tests - you get more of what you can measure - so one needs to be careful that the results are broadly applicable. This of course would apply to all makers, not just Tesla. But that is not the argument the parent made.
