It was a stunt - and it is a stunt when someone does it now.
There have been other car makers who have done this stunt years ago and not one iota of that has come to the drivers of those cars. I remember a demo drive Volvo did - couldn't find the link. But I found this hilarious article.
Meet the First Real Family Slated to Get Keys to Volvo’s Self-Driving XC90
As it prepares to roll out a pilot project involving autonomous cars, Volvo says the focus should be on the people who use them, not the technology itself. Read the details at Car and Driver.

Funny you say that after 12 days of SP raising - a record.
If he doesn't say anything and ignores - what do you think will happen?

> 11.4.4 goes out end of this week
What does the time line look like? When does it go wide? 11.4.3 has been worse for me in terms of lane change decisions, but feels smoother most of the time.

What would be the point of Tesla demonstrating such a drive now? If it is primarily on Interstates and the driver handles maneuvering the car for charging and the connection to the charger, then anybody with FSDb could do this drive today, and someone would eventually do it without interventions (again, except for charging).

it would provide very good advertising and also help differentiate FSD from its geofenced competition. It would also provide a benchmark for autonomy and a reference point for all subsequent press coverage on the subject.
It would also not cost much to do.
I would say, what would be the point of NOT doing it?
It's inability to do so would be the biggest reason.
What's Tesla's "geofenced" competition (and please don't say Cruise or Waymo)?
Ah. But I would think SuperCruise would have the interstates between LA and NY well-covered, but I could be wrong. And if it can handle those interstates L3 instead of "hands-on-the-wheel" L2 as in Tesla's case, I would think for me at least SuperCruise still comes off as a superior product.
Neither SuperCruise nor BlueCruise are level 3. They are just hands off level 2, but still require absolute and strict supervision, even more so than Tesla in my experience.
They are both lane assist on highway ADAS. SuperCruise has automatic lane change (like EAP), Blue Cruise does not, yet. They are adding the ability to change lanes with the turn signal in their new version.
Not sure what you are saying. Those systems are highway druver assist like EAP or in Ford's case, just AP, but much more limited. You can only use them on selected divided highways/freeways. Where AP can be used everywhere.
FSD is far more ambitious and does a lot more than either of them are striving to.

Audi had some quite impressive tech “in the lab” that actually worked quite well. But they’ve either dropped it or keeping it quiet for now.
Again, what the traffic jam assist is not trying to accomplish what FSD is. If that's what you want, that's great and I doubt Tesla delivers a similar solution, but it's not the same.
All I’ve ever wanted is L3 on highways (traffic or no) and that’s pretty much what I thought I was buying in 2018. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me in a consumer car. Tesla could have been there by now and been the first, but their naive and somewhat childlike CEO took the project a different direction.
