> Considering it's still being sold and marketed as 'Full self driving'.
The problem is that this isn’t what they do. They are extremely careful in their wording.
Go back through the archive.org backups of tesla.com/autopilot and watch how their wording changes.
Here’s what they say today:
> Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features, and full self-driving capabilities—through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.
Despite how you or any reasonable person reads it, Tesla can easily make the case that the cars (as sold today) do not have full-self driving available right now. The hardware in the cars does have the capability of allowing full self-driving at some nebulous point in the future (something that’s going to be very difficult to disprove).
The other thing the do is use Autopilot (capital A) as a branded feature that doesn’t mean anything like what autopilot (lowercase a) means to a reasonable person.
