> Tesla has a media problem, where every little problem gets reported as if it's systemic and unfixable.

Similar to Apple, people expect more from them than anyone else. Minor issues on Apple products are always scandals. Remember Antennagate? People were sure that it would sink Apple, because "they don't know how to make antennas". People and media handle Tesla similarly, and minor issues are blown out of proportion.

Tesla promised Level 5 autonomy in all conditions by 2020. People paid a lot of money based on that promise.

Yeah, the timeline was over-promised. That's a different issue.

It's the same issue. There is no double standard. Taking advance payment and being 5+ years late is something any company would get massive criticism from, if not sued.
