Well, we delivered and the people who signed up got invitation to the beta. This approach is everywhere but we forget somehow look at them differently.

Look at the https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck ... They even collect money, but we are not sure if the whole company Tesla will be here in 2 months. Can we trust that companies will show us only super functioning thing?

It's all in the way you communicate things... People should never feel fooled, but you can show them something that doesn't exist yet to start their imagination.

But there are of course ethical lines. Here's an interesting read: https://www.mironov.com/lying/
