Here's the letter: https://www.plainsite.org/documents/242a2g/california-dmv-tesla-robotaxi--fsd-emails/ https://www.plainsite.org/documents/242a2g/california-d

  That seems to confirm what the article said. The first email appears to be dated December 20, 2019 from the CA DMV to Tesla. Here's the original email sent to Tesla: > Subject: Announcement of Full Self Driving Feature. > Al we’ve seen press reports that Mr. Musk announced on Twitter that a “Tesla holiday software update has FSD sneak preview...” Many people generally translate “FSD” to be “full self-driving.” Is Tesla releasing a full self-driving software update to any California Tesla owners? As you are aware, the deployment of autonomously driven vehicles on public roads in California requires a permit to deploy. At this time Tesla does not have a permit to deploy. Please provide an update on what this announcement for the deployment of the feature means in terms of autonomous operation on public roads in California? I don't see anywhere where Tesla are seeking approval, quite the opposite in fact. Tesla are saying they shouldn't be required to seek approval for "City Streets."

    Oh I see what you're saying. I believe they are "seeking approval" for City Streets ... as a Level 2 product. Likely some discrepancy between what Musk says and what the rest of the company does.

      They were already approved for Level 2 driving, the DMV is asking if City Streets is level 2 or per Tesla's own statements FSD which they were not permitted for testing. If "Tesla sent a letter to the CA DMV requesting approval" per the above comment, that would have meant Tesla were trying to get an FSD permit in CA (the opposite of what happened).
