Some weeks ago mid-September, Elon Musk made a distinction between "private beta" and "public beta" when talking about FSD beta. "Releasing private beta in 2 to 4 weeks, public beta (early access owners who opt in) 4 to 6 weeks after that, then all US Tesla owners mid December. Above schedule is contingent upon not encountering major unexpected setbacks." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1304802133355556864
Last year September, he mentioned "wide EAP" before v10 was released towards the end of September. "Still too buggy to be in wide EAP. Requires more testing. Hopefully, going to wide EAP next week." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1169643664806539264
And end of last year before the FSD sneak preview: "Needs a few more days of validation, then early access, then wide release" https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1207916492265680897
Perhaps most interesting is his "early access owners who opt in" clarification of "public beta." Is what people traditionally referring to "early access program" the "private beta" as Tesla needs to privately invite people? Is the "opt in" referring to people who have accepted the invite or something else?
