It's not a non-sequitur, because if the "partial control" of the robot is significant enough, it's no longer a robot.

This isn't true at all? Robots can be controlled externally, either fully or partially. ASIMO didn't stop being a robot because it was under external control for demonstrations (from what I can tell, much more external control than the Tesla robots).
I disagree, but regardless of what you call it, no one is interested in buying a super expensive remote control human analogue from Tesla.
