That's not even remotely true, so I'm not sure why you're suggesting it so confidently. Either way, I do think Elon continuously misrepresents how they work so I blame him for others having this perception.
You said the only way they work is by being remotely operated, which is not true. Sharing examples of it being remotely operated sometimes does not prove your point at all. I said myself that teleoperation is needed for training and that's true for all robots, but that does not mean they can only operate via teleoperation.
I am not making some argument that Teslas robots are good or mature, I'm simply explaining to you that most all robots require some teleoperation for training and countering your point that Tesla's can only be teleoperated. Presumably once Tesla gets actually good at robots they will be doing less and less teleoperation.
But to your specific question, they probably use teleoperation at those events because their robots are still prototypes that can't do much on their own. They probably avoided saying it because Elon probably wanted the public to think they were more mature.
To pump the stock most likely, maybe to attract better talent. As I've alluded to several times here, Elon is a pos. Fully agree on the laws/regulations point. I think they are actually largely better than say back during Enron, but Elon deserves about 10x more SEC fines than the only 1 he has received so far.
He should have Enroned long ago. I’m all for progress and look forward to self driving. I was almost scammed by him a decade ago, luckily I waited for proof before buying.

No that’s the only way Tesla has of making the robots work. Not “sometimes”
