Because it is fraud trying to inflate Tesla stock price.

The real term is “marketing puffery.” It’s a fun, legally specific way to describe a company bullshitting to hype its product.

  • Puffery is like saying this is the best canned chili ever made. Selling a can of chili but never actually giving the chili just an empty can is fraud.

  • Puffery should really be limited to subjective things like flavor and not self-driving cars.
