> they cannot actually lie about how tall the food is
Anyone that's eaten a big mac and seen a commercial for one knows they clearly do lie about how tall the food is.
I presume what you meant here is that they're not supposed to lie about how tall the food is. Clearly the can and do. Actual McDonalds hamburgers are the saddest looking flat soggy salt biscuits ever to be called a hamburger. Their commercials show nothing of the sort, get real.
Perhaps McDonalds lies to you in your jurisdiction, but no, I have never seen an ad where they claim that their hamburgers are so-and-so many millimetres tall. I have seen plenty of claims from them about things like the uncooked weight of their burgers, and the fine print always clarifies that cooking reduces the weight.
Perhaps you could share with me the lies McDonalds has told you and everyone else about their food? I mean, sure, it sucks. But the video I linked to above explains exactly why and how the food in the ads looks better than the food they sell you.
Other than that, where are the lies?
It's truly bizarre that Musk stans are resorting to calling out McDs to try and defend Tesla's blatant fraud.
But I can tell you right now that McDs is not lying about what a BigMac can look like, because I have eaten a Bic Mac, and other McDs burgers, that looked just like they were from a commercial. Food has natural variability; how the final burger appears depends on the ingredients and the preparation, and some McDs locations like the ones near me do a better job of storing their buns and assembling their burgers than others.
