Whether or not rayiner is correct in his interpretation, I think it's pretty clear his interpretation is not an outlandish one. By that I mean many other people in the general public will share his interpretation, and unlike rayiner many of those people will be blissfully unaware of the problems with automation Tesla has been having.
What this means is that a large number of people are going to be deceived by statements like this from Musk, even if you think what Musk is saying is technically true, because they interpreted/misinterpreted Musk's statement the same way rayiner did.

That is my interpretation, yes. "Fully self-driving features" means the car is self-driving at least some of the time. So a fully autonomous mode that's only active on the highway in good weather counts, but not modes where the human still has to pay attention, or features that only support but do not actually enable full autonomy at least some of the time.
Even limited full-autonomy seems totally out of the reach of Tesla given what we know to date.
[EDIT: Given the medium and proposition, the appropriate interpretation seems to be the narrower one.]
