> Is it really so unbelievable
A car company that has a long history of making false claims? Are you really asking me that?

I have no idea what your game is now - but I'm not playing.
But sure, if I actually need to, let me spell it out.
The statement: "He is a liar" is stronger than the statement "He is a liar who sometimes tells the truth", despite the fact that the second is more detailed. Extraneous details distract from the main argument. Also - there is almost no example in the world of someone who makes only false statements. It's a ridiculous insertion.
I hope you can understand why your suggestion above is nonsensical.
OH! No need. I enjoyed explaining it to you.
> is an assertion without supporting evidence
I’m sorry, I thought the evidence was obvious. Allow me to explain it to you: someone who has a history of lying has a significantly higher chance of lying again than someone who does not.
> You also construct your own straw man
Asking a question is not putting words in someone’s mouth - and it was resolved with his simple “No”.
> The insults
Oh my. Do you really want to go there after this sequence:
> you're moving from the territory of reasonable questions to moderately desperate conspiracy theory
> Your confusion is understandable given your own (excruciatingly obvious) motives.
> find the words to make yourself feel good when pressing 'reply'
> I humbly apologise. When I said you were confused, I only meant to state a fact, not cause you harm.
> These linguistic motte-and-bailey tricks are pure debate bro.
Motte-and-bailey? I have not retracted a single thing.
> hope of actually changing the other person's mind
HA! I realized that would be impossible quite a long time ago. Now it’s just a fun game to see how bloodied you get.
As I said, pure debate bro.

How the mighty have fallen.
It’s dangerous for you to let your dislike of someone or some company to cloud your judgement like this. You know other companies have launched failed products too, right?
No one is falling for it.
> where are the fabricated demos?
Why not even make it more specific? "Where are the demos where he had a fake flying car before"? No one's falling for that one either.
