'Respondent Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”) is a manufacturer and dealer of high-performance, all-electric vehicles and one of the most innovative companies in the world.  Inrevolutionizing the automobile market, Tesla has led the way in developing advanced driver-assistance technologies (“ADAS”), including its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability (“FSDC”) packages, which offer consumers a suite of advanced driver-assistance features—some of which come standard and others that can be added.  Although these features offer state-of-the-art driver assistance, Tesla makes clear—and has always made clear—that the features do notmake Tesla vehicles autonomous and that active driver supervision is still required. ' Hmmmmmm

Strange, they seem to have forgotten the bit about how much safer than an average human they are...usually they can't stop going on about it/s

> Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability [...] do not make Tesla vehicles autonomous Excuse us of the confusion

Since when is the C added there? It has always been branded and sold as FSD right? Full Self-Driving. It's such a piss poor attempt trying to slapp the softening "Capability" on there, to make it sound anything less than what it sound like, that the cars is fully Self-Driving.  How far can you push marketing? There should be legal precedence around stuff like this no?

Yet full autonomy and appreciating assets have always been "3 months maybe, 6 months definitely" away for the past decade.

So they actively tout how the vehicle is capable of full self-driving then says it's incapable of full self-driving. If it's not capable, they should call it Full Self-Driving Incapability instead.

The whole document is full the Tesla lawyers glazing themselves, its definitely a .... Choice?

Once I believed “state-of-the-art” means the most advanced but worked in a research facility for one of the world’s largest companies taught me that, that means existing technology, we are working on things more advanced and don’t exist yet…

We will see FSD be quoted as “FSD” with a small number at the right upper corner which has a three page long description as not Full, not self-driving at all.

state of the art means the most advanced, but operational. Not things being developed.

A decade! And chumps keep buying into the racket. It’s going to be an interest case study for future business courses, how Tesla fooled the world and themselves…

The opening titles of the Paint it Black video said otherwise. Finally the law is catching up with them.

MF was also saying the trucks would work as boats. There have never been any disclaimers to elons public comments, so they should be treated as official statements. The average consumer should not be expected to cross reference the fine print and figure out which of the opposite claims is true. This seems pretty cut and dry.
