If making unfulfillable promises was a good strategy to put competitors out of business, you'd see this happen everywhere. It doesn't. In fact that's usually a surefire way to drive a business into the ground. You can make your own conclusions starting from there.

Also, Tesla is not alone: Volvo, Waymo, Daimler, GM, Ford, Mercedes, BMW, and chinese makers have all promised Level 4 self-driving around 2021-2022.

I appreciate your effort to reconcile me with the current world. I know I’m probably missing something when seemingly half of the world is loosing its mind. Maybe I am loosing my mind. But I can’t help getting infuriated with pseudo science commercial bullshit that turns out praised and making trillions of dollars. Hearing that other automakers are claiming the same 1 year ahead full self driving makes me wonder if they feel like they have to make the same bullshit claims to survive the next decade. Would Tesla have succeeded if they were marketing as electric cars with the usual driving assistances? I think the false claims of fully autonomous driving thanks to Super intelligent AI together with Elon cult of personality played a big role in Tesla success.
