No, it was overconfidence in "full self driving". Musk says this with a megaphone to his 55.9 million followers: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/22/18510828/tesla-elon-musk-autonomy-day-investor-comments-self-driving-cars-predictions https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/22/18510828/tesla-elon-musk-... But Tesla privately tells regulators that "full self driving" is only level 2: https://www.thedrive.com/tech/39647/tesla-admits-current-full-self-driving-beta-will-always-be-a-level-2-system-emails https://www.thedrive.com/tech/39647/tesla-admits-current-ful... And Tesla privately says that Musk's comments don't match engineering reality: https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/7/22424592/tesla-elon-musk-autopilot-dmv-fsd-exaggeration https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/7/22424592/tesla-elon-musk-a... You can't have it both ways. The most responsible thing Musk can do is to publicly admit that "full self driving" is no such thing and change the name to something more realistic.
