> The station they set up wasn't automated and took about 7 minutes instead of the the 90 seconds they previewed in the tech demo.

I can see why people are skeptical of the demo and think the limited trial, which didn't showcase what was demoed, isn't particularly persuasive.



Fully agree, which is why I pointed out the station fell short of their demo in my post.

I just don't see it as being deceptive in the way rolling a truck down a hill and suggesting it's operational is. Or at the very least, we're missing the smoking gun. Perhaps it is and someone who worked at Tesla or the blogger who posted about going to the station will come out and admit it was a big fake-eroo.

Finding the hill they pushed the truck down is pretty damning IMO in a way suspicions about Tesla's tech demo aren't.
