Here's my hater take: "Full Self Driving" is an absolutely dangerous and egregious marketing lie. The vehicles are not full self driving and require by law a driver capable of taking over at a moments notice.

I do not believe that Tesla's technology will ever achieve "Full self driving" (levels 4 or 5, where a driver isn't required https://www.nhtsa.gov/technology-innovation/automated-vehicl...), and the labeling of their "conditional automation" system as "full self driving" is an absolute travesty.

People do honestly think they have bought a self driving car. The marketing lie absolutely tricks people.
