Eh neither side was really in the right.

If I remember right they showed the actors pushing the car because it ran out of battery after an hour and Elon said the car was reporting to Tesla HQ the whole time and never ran out of battery and the show said had they actually driven it on the track for an hour the battery would have run out.

The show deceived the audience into thinking they actually drove the laps, Elon wanted to deceive buyers that the car didn't need recharging after a hot minute on the track.
