The usual FSD complaint is that Tesla has been offering it for years, at ascending prices, without any date-certain of delivering it (just tweets predicting it), without refunding it when not delivered after X years. I can easily imagine an eventual class-action suit requiring some % of refund all the way back to the first car purchased with someday-FSD (!).

If they deliver it, then (at that time, and depending on how well it works), the complaints of not-good-enough or dangerous-killing-people could come into play.

The second thing sounds even more dangerous to Tesla - smart to keep delaying (and building up that first risk higher and higher!)

And just one of the disingenuous responses from Tesla is that you could have it all now, or could have, if it wasn't for pesky regulators.

There might be an awkward silence when you ask why as recently as six months ago, it was still happily hopping the curb of roundabouts, or why even to this very day, there's no AEB capability in FSD (if your foot is on the accelerator, the car will consider that a higher priority input than an imminent collision).

Probably because of false positives and removing radar, because "it's not needed".
