Is there some truth to what Tesla responded with? Very likely.
Where is the proof? Why didn't Tesla sue Reuters if they are lying?
Factually speaking, it was considered not true, but he also didn’t fight it as they were threatening the existence of the company at a very difficult time so he settled with the SEC.
Conspiracy theory bullshit. Where is the proof?
I bring it up because it’s the same new manufacturing process as the 25k car. It’s a wholly new way to manufacture cars
Where is the proof other than corporate PR? Send me a BOM analysis based on current estimates (with details) and other relevant financial details. This is not a big ask, there are solid BOM analyses for many "leading edge" hardware products (I've done professional work on this, so I would know).
The point I am making is that I am not buying your "judicial roleplay" (pretending that this is a court of law with all the theatrics about the nature of proving something). Not to mention it's pretty sophomoric of you to assume that unless a (US!) court rules on something, then we have to immediately defer to corporate PR copytext and we cannot make any analysis beyond that.
I've lived in the US. I know how badly Americans reflexively react to someone not buying into their local assumptions. So in a sense I understand you.
But that doesn't mean I am going to buy into your bullshit.
I don't have any experience with Piefed, but it does seem they have a migrate community option, albeit historical posts are only viewable with a Piefed account.
