I know if you are in the weeds you know the capabilities - but I think most people get the impression it can drive itself and its safe. And that impression is a direct result from marketing materials. Given the severity of car accidents it seems reasonable to be strict on these marketing claims, even if they call it a "beta" in the fine-print.

- FireBeyond 4y ago> without any clarification it is a future promise and even then, oftentimes it's -very- strongly implied that if it's not really available now the only thing holding it back is regulators. (Well, that's actually true in its own way, though not a good thing - I am certain that Elon would be yeeting all sorts of shit over the fence if the regulators let him, if only so Tesla could realize all manner of deferred income.)
