I got my pilot license in an airplane equipped with an autopilot and got exactly 1 minute of training on it. It was "here's the switch to make sure it's turned off." (That's literally true, no exaggeration.)
All autopilot knowledge I got was from my own reading the manuals. I assume there's the same information available from Tesla on it.
