no way, you probably never tuned it up or changed the oil....
Would you be more interested in it if I had?

Wow ...shouldn't feel cheated because I should have done research and found out that they always lie....don't blame the murderer because what was the victim doing in a dangerous neighborhood!
I think there's a difference between overly optimistic projections about when new software will be ready and lying.

As with most discussions where people take extreme positions, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. I don't see it as outright lies by Tesla but the way they marketed it sure leaves a lot to be desired.
2/3rds of the safety automation "Driver Confidence" Packages on my Chevy Volt don't really work. And the kicker is you have to upgrade to the Premier trim to add Driver Confidence 1 and 2.
Wonder how much luck I will have on getting a prorated refund from Chevrolet over promising and under delivering?
Or what are the odds of Chevrolet releasing an over the air update that will fix those buggy issues I mentioned?
Thankfully that's just a lease otherwise I'd be really screwed.
LOL at Comparing Tesla patches to murderers and unsafe neighborhoods. Dramatic much?
Was your Model X paid in food stamps? Typically those analogies are not used by Tesla owning demographics.

Some of us are still waiting for the lighted vanity mirrors and gigabytes of music storage promised with the original Model S.
It is a recurring problem with Tesla that they advertise features which they don't actually have yet and may never have. I think they're getting better about this... they need to.

Blind spot detection, red light detection, WiFi hotspot, on/off ramp negotiation, and many more broken promises.
Tesla Marketing 101: Overpromise, underdeliver (but hold out hope for software updates), after the promise falls short remove all mention of the original promise on the web site. Encourage gullible owners to upgrade to get the newest silicon snake oil they are pumping.
Buy a Tesla for the features you are demoed. If it wasn't delivered with the car, don't expect more. With those lowered expectations, every improvement will be appreciated.
Frankly, calling it "due diligence" is an exaggeration.

How hard can it be?

The sad part was that Tesla was going to be different. You know, where you could buy a car directly from the manufacturer, dodging all the nasty car-sales-people tricks trying to get you in a new car with white lies and stuff. Where you didn't have to fact check every single word from your local dealer, getting it in writing or doing endless due diligence now whatever they promised you. Where you could just pay and trust that for your money you were exactly getting what you were led to believe you were due. Tesla seems to have duplicated the car dealer tricks but at the corporate level.
And the worst, the usual defence against that charge is : you should have know, they've been doing it all the time...
