I mean Tesla self driving advertising is as much of a fraud as theranos… maybe it’s not as bad because it wasn’t a medical device?

Promising a of self driving and delivering a much lower level is not nearly as much fraud as "the entire product does nothing". And it being a promise about future improvements also reduces the level of fraud compared to lying about what the product already does.

It’s not though because it somewhat works and the limitations are clear when you use it.

Theranos was completely fraudulent and there was no way to tell.
