First, can you give a "concrete example" on what you consider as a "concrete example"?
Because so far, I've only seen name calling and flippant remarks from you. I'm honestly trying to understand where you're coming from.
That way, we can start from a place of understanding. Instead of going in circles and you moving the goal post.
I'm actually very curious on what the response to this will be.
I'm not sure if you're being facetious here. There are countless examples that exhibit the contrary. Here is one as recent as a few days ago:

Below are a few (out of many others) prior examples:
But it seems that some individuals even refuse to do so. They would rather stick to their strong (sometimes objectively flawed) opinions. Which is totally fine. Everyone is entitled to.
It's just embarrassingly bad when they try to regurgitate it to others and continue to double down. Even when presented with irrefutable data or new information.
1. No clear indication that it was even on FSD. Only TACC was probably engaged.
2. Video was posted in 480p so it's hard to see what's on the screen.
2. YouTube Comments were turned off.
3. Bottom half of the screen was cut off on the initial video (most glaring omission IMO). Which would show if the warning that the accelerator pedal was being held down and that the vehicle would not stop. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/G3l9Rp1.png
4. Additional footage that was lasted released (also in 480p it's 2022, why?) CONFIRMED this: https://i.imgur.com/1PMbG9f.png
These are just a few examples. But it's hard to believe that the video was not made in good faith.
German appeals court reverses lower court ruling against Tesla & permits “Autopilot” marketing.
▪The 2019 lawsuit of the influential “Wettbewerbszentrale”, a “non-profit” financed in part by Tesla competitors, has mostly failed.
▪The ruling is final.

If this is truly a substantiated issue. Hundreds of Tesla owners would have created threads on the forums below. That would indicate a trend which will prompt NHTSA to take action:

But alas, a quick cursory search yielded nothing.
There was another media frenzy a while back. Falsely claiming sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) on Tesla vehicles. The result? "NHTSA determines sudden acceleration complaints in Tesla vehicles were due to driver error"
“There is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents"

Here is an example of an owner ordering a 2021 center console from Tesla so he can upgrade his older model year car.
I’ve done many other retrofit upgrades and repairs to my Teslas.
Anything that deals with the high-voltage (HV) systems need to be certified for obvious safety and liability reasons.

Some manufacturers won't even provide some of these to individuals and only makes them available to dealerships.
My friend and I just performed maintenance on our Model 3s. We changed the A/C filter and cleaned the condenser and serviced the brakes. I just ordered the parts from the Tesla app and did everything in my garage.
There’s always more to the story.

There's a reason why I asked if you could share your work. Because those two individuals are clearly at the top of their field. If your thesis is correct, then it's easily worth 100+M if not 1B+ USD in value.
It's easy to be hyper critical, compared to actually being in the trenches trying to solve these hard problems.
A valid argument on why you think Thrun is wrong would have served stance point better.
"Sebastian Thrun. He told me the whole industry is about to reboot. And then I saw why he said that. He literally invented the modern autonomous car field.
He started Google’s autonomous team and told me he made a mistake going with LiDAR."
It's a shame they discontinued it. A lot of people loved them.

With cylindrical (18650) being the most common that Panasonic manufactures. Because they can be produced quickly, hence the lower cost per kWh. They are also a Tier 1 lithium-ion battery producer. Meaning they produce the highest-quality lithium-ion batteries, for automotive use.
Samsung and LG Chem are also Tier 1. But Panasonic is certainly more mature and have more experience (but more conservative like Toyota). Which I already mentioned earlier.
