Tesla’s self-driving promises are reaching Theranos levels of sheer implausibility. The frustrating part is that they don’t need to make these absurd claims about self-driving; they already have a successful electric car business.

You're not digging deep enough. The reason they need to hype it is because they don't have one.

Except that they actually have a limited form of self-driving, which has proven successful over millions of miles of driving?

Comparing something to Theranos only works if that something doesn't have a working product. You can see that Tesla's autopilot works. It isn't perfect yet but it is a real thing.
