for those unaware (like me), "FSD" is the extremely misleading term Tesla uses to describe their cars as "Full Self Driving".


Even more incredibly, "FSD" is an addon you pay for. So customers are paying for the lie.


Technically it is fully self driving, it's "just" that you have a (much) lower chance of arriving safely at your destination than with a human driver.


It's fully self driving until it cops out and gives it back to you


The correct term is ‘Fools Self Driving’ given its users think that they are driving a ‘fully self driving’ car yet they have to be behind the wheel and pay attention to the road at all times.

Not exactly the FSD robot-taxi experience the Tesla fans were promised. Instead, they got happily mislead with beta software.
