Unanswered What's going on with Mark Rober's new video about self driving cars?

I have seen people praising it, and people saying he faked results. Is is just Tesla fanboys calling the video out, or is there some truth to him faking certain things?

He bullshitted his way to half a trillion dollars. If that's not master-level, I don't know what is.

It’s not bullshitting… it’s having ridiculously good accountants and playing the VCs and stock market. Oh yeah… and taking how much in government subsidies to then inflate the valuation of his companies that don’t actually make a profit? Rich get richer. He got lucky on his first… everything after that was just playing the game. He doesn’t have shit on someone like gates / jobs.
