No other company/CEO can make as grandiose announcements. Their future product pipeline is worth trillions and every year there's something else they will deliver very soon that will revolutionize the world. If you've read about it in a scifi book, Tesla will announce they are working on it first.

We should treat Tesla the same as VW during the emissions scandal. Look forward to a criminal fraud investigation, billions in fines, Musk resigning etc.

Did you look at the diesel emission scandal Wiki page? Everyone was 'cheating'; VW was a mid-level 'cheater' which took the brunt of the heat for it.
