There's already a lawsuit from 4/2017 covering "Enhanced" Autopilot... https://www.truthinadvertising.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Sheikh-v-Tesla-complaint.pdf https://www.truthinadvertising.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/0... Tesla’s Marketing and Sale of Vaporware 21. As Dictionary.com states, vaporware is “[c]omputer software that is advertised but still nonexistent.” Tesla advertised vaporware to consumers, knowing full well that this particular come-on would particularly excite its target market of high-tech aficionados. Now we need one for self-driving for those who were duped into buying a Tesla just for that.

Not to mention all the AP1 owners who were misled with this tweet. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920 In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY 10 Jan 2016 AP1 owners who purchased Tesla in Q1/Q2'16 are SOL as in Q3'16 they released AP2 since AP1 didn't have full self-driving h/w despite his Jan'16 tweet.

  Elon stated as early as the AP1 launch event that AP1 hardware was insufficient for full autonomy. The claim of a coming cross-country summon feature does not imply that it will be retroactively made possible on every Tesla vehicle ever produced. If there is ever a successful lawsuit brought by AP1 owners, it is much more likely to focus on the promises that were made to them but never delivered, e.g. "meeting you at the curb" from your garage on private property.

  This is not going to age well.
