Tesla has almost highhandedly kept the public interested in electric cars. By becoming a viable car company, there's been huge amounts of money put into research from their competitors alone. I don't think it's good for them to over exaggerate their personal impact, but looking at the overall scale of what they have done.... I don't care that their marketing team went overboard on something I wouldn't have read anyway. We all know what Tesla has done laid the groundwork for some very important work that otherwise wouldn't have a footing.
