That’s exactly the problem.

One would expect that when paying $10k for “full self driving”, that one would receive a car fully capable of driving by itself. Instead, Tesla defines that as whatever functionary they provide.

It is already capable of driving by itself, albeit its not perfect and not in all situation. Tesla never promised its perfect.

What do you think "full" means? In my mind, the "full" implies "in all situations", in contrast to the limited functionality of autopilot.

FSD and autopilot are two completely different things.

Yeah, I know. Maybe a better wording is "the limited functionality of a system like autopilot."

My point is Full Self Driving implies it's "the real deal": A self driving car you don't have to pay attention to at all. Not "Advanced driver assistance on city streets."

Did they promise the brakes are perfect?

People won't get it for $10k for a long time, and the reason is because the real worth of a working FSD is over $100k. Tesla will stop selling Model 3s when it reaches that point. I don't know when it will be, but saying that it will never happen is similar to saying 15 years ago that computers will never beat humans in Go.
