Maybe because the level system is stupid and doesn't reflect how people actually want to use their cars? i.e. They think they can skip L3 entirely and just go directly to L4, no point in having to get "certified" for one if you think you can get to the other soon. I put certified in quotes because AFAIK there is no straightforward process to "apply for a level 3 certification" in the US, where Tesla is based. You don't just pay some application fee, have your vehicle / software vetted, and now your car is allowed to drive itself in all 50 states. Whereas the OC is about Germany, where they have the Autonomous Driving Act that is actually explicit about certifying cars based on the standard levelling system (which again, is terrible).
