    Agreed.

    Nevertheless, the Federal regulators will have an uphill battle as mentioned in the article.

    Neither “puffery” nor “corporate optimism” counts as fraud, according to US courts, and the DOJ would need to prove that Tesla knew its claims were untrue.

    The big thing they could get Tesla on is the safety record for autosteer. But again there would need to be proof it was known.
