It's only incredible engineering once it performs in the hands of buyers. It's an incredible demo until then.

Who are you to decide it's not allowed any criticism at all?

It’s a spec sheet. It will be incredible engineering when it’s in the hands of customers.

This is a tech demo until it actually ships. Actual engineering requires things like cost effectiveness, reliability, and reparability that are yet to be seen.

It’s not like this is the first time that Elon has overpromised and underdelivered.

It is incredible engineering and also a enormous waste of effort by a car company that seems to have stopped caring about releasing cars for the mass market.

Engineering is practical, not self serving entertainment. This may be classified as interesting technological study perhaps.

Uhhhh sure if rocket propulsion is fair game now? Seems a little overdone. Is my local DOT okay with this?
