The lies worked in the short term, but Tesla's on the hook now for a lot of free hardware upgrades:

That won't be helping the stock price going forward.

Those updates will be cheaper than the 15k price. And for those who already opted in, it‘s a small expense to pay for the upgrade. Tesla can easily afford it.

It would have been even cheaper to simply not lie about the capability in the first place.
