All true. But you could argue that deposits for roadster or semi are made by people who have a lot of excess cash or are able to make their own due diligence on the subject. Neither can be said about the average Joe who shelled out 10 grand last year in expectation that his car will drive itself in a couple months.

more like "shelled out 10 grand in the expectation that the car will pay for itself as it outcompetes Uber when he's not using it".

Did anyone actually believe that you'd be able to rent out your Tesla for money? I know there are a lot of gullible people but that doesn't even pass the sniff test.

Yes, they did, including this very forum. And it isn't the only thing. What about the solar roof "printing money"? Now they are jacking up prices.
Funny how the sentiment is shifting to "no one actually believe this, do they?"

The ceo of a major, publicly traded company said you would be able to. Doesn't seem far fetched to believe him.

Good one. Because CEOs never misrepresent things even when it's in their financial interest to do so.

Given that Elon Musk raised billions of capital on that exact claim in 2018, there obviously are.
