Being a share holder , I would expect you to understand how some customers are angry at the delay, lack of communication.
You're making an assumption about my complete thought process on this based on one specific response to one specific persons perspective. I think 'wk057' is grossly over reacting, to the point of being completely unreasonable. Do I want anyone to sue Tesla? No, not at all as the risk to the stock price taking a negative hit because some anti-EV investor group, Seeking Alpha comes to mind, latching onto this as some sort of doomsday situation for Tesla is quite high still. I also think though, at some point cooler heads have to prevail, at some point...
As an investor and someone who is\was\maybe\might\someday buy a Model S, I believe Elon made a PR misstep in demoing the autopilot functionality until much, much closer to it's actual launch date. I believe that he did it thinking they (the engineers) were much closer than they actually were. I also think Tesla has done a very poor job at trying to reset that expectation. I don't believe Tesla has done anything illegal\dishonest\insincere\scandalous\etc... and feel the knee jerk reaction that some people have to jump into litigation is unfounded.
