But Tesla never intends to support any Full Self Driving on older generation cars. Full Self Driving was sold at the time as being able to "summon your car to you when you are in LA and the car is in NYC."
They probably won't get there with any hardware package in the next 10 years. But this is a present admission that older generation cars are not currently capable of what Tesla considers FSD without a hardware upgrade.
- gimmeThaBeet 5y agoSo that part where I think it's really bad, and the fact that they use Full Self-Driving and FSD as basically a brand name is borderline irresponsible. But to me they are pretty consistent in their language, and any talk of autonomous driving I've seen comes from Musk, and is a projection that probably has a significant safe harbor. They continually seem to draw a very prominent line between "Full Self-Driving" and "Autonomous", where what Tesla defines as autonomous is the much higher standard (i.e summon your car from one coast to the other). I would in that light, argue that Tesla's hurdle for saying a given car is FSD capable is really low, because imo, it seems like they are comfortable saying Level 2 is like, Full Self-Driving (Beta).
- ErikVandeWater 5y agoI can't see any definition of "full" or "self-driving" that do not require autonomy. This is similar to the case where wireless networks tried to redefine the term "unlimited data" to mean "really a lot of data." The courts ruled against them when they throttled data above a cap that they considered very high usage.
