Nowhere does Tesla claim that their cars currently have the ability to do "Full Self-Driving".

They sell a package which promises, in the future, to enable "Full Self-Driving" on the associated car.

The average life of a car is 8 years or 150,000 miles. I doubt FSD will be available within 10 years.

1. I don't know. I guess that's the risk people take when they buy the FSD package without a guaranteed date.

2. It's not clear to me that your average life numbers apply to Teslas.
