That's not what Tesla is doing though, or the article is about...they (Tesla) are arguing that free speech should allow them to do false advertising of their product.

should allow them to do false advertising

The whole advertising industry would go down the drain if this were an actual right.

I would rather say there are many small (hopefully) violations that go unpunished.

That's something else than a right, and this subtle difference counts a lot.
