There can be a difference between what a salesperson tells customers and the legal description of what those glorious promises from the salesperson mean.
Tesla staff, including Elon Musk have given us the glorious description of what FSD means: Robotaxis that makes money picking up rides by themselves while we sleep at home.
However, those are just salesperson talk. What counts is the legal language when you click to buy FSD. The language never says your payment will guarantee a car that drives itself without a human driver:
"
Full Self-Driving Capability
$10,000
- Navigate on Autopilot
- Auto Lane Change
- Autopark
- Summon
- Full Self-Driving Computer
- Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
Coming later this year
- Autosteer on city streets
The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

I don't like blurring between glorious salespeople talks that does not clearly say that that talk is different from the legal descriptions in the purchase.
But that's the way the US legal system works and it's unfortunate for those who don't read but just rely on salespeople talks.
