Used to be "marketing tricks" were prosecuted as fraud.

still is. Nikola's CEO, Trevor Milton, was convicted of fraud and is awaiting sentencing.

Oh. Good to hear. Thank you.

And iirc Tesla is also being investigated for fraudulent claims for faking the safety of their self driving cars.

Hmm, might I interest you in a video of an electric semi-truck?
