I think it depends what they actually are trying to accomplish. This is Beta for a glorified cruise control overhaul; not a beta for promised RoboTaxi.
Musk/Tesla tend to talk about RoboTaxi then slip seemlessly into/out of 'but today we have low engagement cruise control!'.
Fair bit of hucksterism.

Good point. "Full Self Driving" in my mind paints a picture beyond "a better cruise control". But maybe they meant that and just named it wrong.

That's "End Game" - they aren't claiming the current version (or even the beta) are there yet.
It's not 2 weeks or whatever unrealistic timeline away from being done, as Elon has claimed for ever. 2 perhaps years if we're lucky, but given human and driving complexity probably way more before even the whole of the USA is reliably supported beyond L2.
