I find the theoretical consideration more compelling than specific facts. If Tesla demonstrably is above the law, then incentives to do the right thing seem to be lacking. Whenever people get into an argument about whether someone or something is good or bad, my reaction is, what is the mechanism that would force them to be good? If the answer is absolutely nothing, then I'm going to bet that the people saying they are bad are correct (and of course if there are huge incentives, then the people saying they are good are likely correct). Either way, I don't think it makes sense to shrug and say they're probably as good or bad as everyone else.
