>Source? If you simply refer to it being called "autopilot", cmon that's not too serious The Model 3 Builder literally says: "Full Self-Driving Capability".

Did you just read the one sentence and not any other text on that page?: "Coming later this year: Automatic driving on city streets.", Oh and how about "The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.". - Which I just copy-pasted from the exact page you are talking about. Who is being disingenious here? I honestly don't think that there is any significant number of potential buyers who go onto a website to buy a car, and pull one sentence from that page out of context, ignore the rest of the text and then make their decision based on that.

  You mean the text in smaller face "disclaimer text" buried under the fold, well under the price and the "Prices are likely to increase in the future" ("BUY NOW!"), and below things like: > Summon: your parked car will come find you anywhere in a parking lot. Really. (It may plow into a street to do so, but hey. And you should really have "full attention" on the car. Unless you're reading our marketing copy which says to feel free to "attend to a fussy child") and so on. Ninety per cent of the length of that page is selling promises that aren't there yet, and the fine print at the bottom is taking most of it away, for some indeterminate period of time.

Autopilot is a separate feature from FSD. It also specifically lists out exactly what it can do. And includes a whole paragraph on limitations which starts with "The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."
