But Tesla doesn't have "Full Self Driving" period, they only have "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" (and, prior to that, it's been FSD Beta).
You can't just keep ignoring the "Supervised" bit as if it's not there. Just because you think it's a stupid name, doesn't make it a lie. Have you even tried it yourself? I've tried v12, and it's amazing. It does fully self-drive. Why would they call it "mostly" if the idea has always been that it'd be "full" when it's done and out of beta? And as robotaxi shows, it's literally almost there.
I've just tried searching "FSD site:tesla.com" in Google Search, and basically every single result is "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)", with very few exceptions.
Hint: what does the word ‘full’ mean?
"Full" means it drives itself as long as you "Supervise".
Did you use v12 or v13 FSD? I've used v12 last year (which is far behind v13, and yet more behind robotaxi). I'd enable it as soon as I'm out of the garage, and it'd safely drive me right to the destination.
How exactly is that not "Full"? Why would they call it anything else when it can drive itself from point A to point B without any interventions most of the time?
>>Why would they call it anything else when it can drive itself from point A to point B without any interventions most of the time
Why?
Because the FACT is that you must put in the caveat MOST OF THE TIME, or someone is likely to die.
If they were honest they would call it "Supervised Mostly Self Driving". Even "Supervised Self Driving — you mostly supervise, not drive!" would be accurate.
Again, go to any dictionary and find the definition of "Full". Websters:
>>1 containing as much or as many as is possible or normal
>>2a complete especially in detail, number, or duration
>>2b lacking restraint, check, or qualification
>>2c having all distinguishing characteristics : enjoying all authorized rights and privileges
>>2d not lacking in any essential : perfect
The problem is Tesla and you are attempting to literally change the definition of "Full" to mean "Not Full".
This is lying or deceiving yourself, and deceiving others.
Recognize facts and that language actually has meaning, and stop being part of the problem. Or continue watching your hero lose lawsuits.
>>Why would they call it "mostly" if the idea has always been that it'd be "full" when it's done and out of beta?
Because "Mostly..." is the truth, and then when it is actually "Full..." they can come out and announce that fact with great fanfare. and they would have been honest.
Hell, if they simply called it "Supervised Self Driving", it would be honest, and actually match even your glowing description.
But they do not. Your and Tesla's idea that using the added tagline "(Supervised)" as a legal weasel-word does not work either. "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" is literally an oxymoron. A thing either drives itself fully, or it requires supervision. One contradicts the other.
IIRC, the "(Supervised)" bit was added well after the first fanfare with only "Full Self Driving" alone, when problems started to appear. And the common initials are "FSD".
Even if the reality of the feature set meets your glowing description, the problem is the small percentage of cases where it fails. I'm sure the guy in Florida who was decapitated when his Tesla failed to notice a semi-trailer turning across in front of him was similarly confident, and the same for the guy in California who was impaled on a construction traffic barrier. The problem is that it is NOT FULL, it is only full self driving until it fails.
>>And as robotaxi shows, it's literally almost there.
NO, it shows the exact opposite.
Nearly two months after the much-heralded rollout of (fully) self-driving taxis, Tesla still cannot put a single car on the road for a single meter without a supervising safety driver. Moreover, there have been numerous reported instances of the cars making dangerous errors such as left turns into traffic, etc.
>>basically every single result is "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)", with very few exceptions.
Again, that wording is a literally meaningless oxymoron, containing two mutually contradictory statements ("Full" vs "Supervised"), thus open to whatever interpretation the listener latches onto. Moreover, the emphasis is on the first word — "Full" — which is the lie.
