Average guy who loves autonomous vehicles
What I am concerned is that their ”feature complete” may not have anything to do with ”Level 5 no geofence feature complete” which was Tesla’s claim on Autonomy Investor Day.
I am not clear on why you are so concerned about this. Are you worried that Tesla is not actually planning on L5 autonomy? Or are you concerned that Tesla will be forced to settle for less than L5 due to hardware or software limitations?
I think Tesla is certainly planning for L5 nogeofence. Elon and Tesla have consistently described the final version of FSD as being able to self-drive with no driver, anywhere in the US, while you sleep in the back. If that is not L5 no geofence, I don't know what is. Of course, there is always the possibility that the hardware won't be good enough.
But keep in mind that feature complete is an intermediary step. Feature complete is not the final product. That means that feature complete won't be able to do everything that the final version of FSD will be able to do. So if you are expecting feature complete to have every single feature needed for L5 no geofence, then I am telling you right now that you will probably won't consider feature complete to be L5 nogeofence.
But this is very important: even if feature complete is not L5 no geofence because it lacks every single L5 feature, that does not mean that Tesla won't get to L5 nogeofence in the final version of FSD. Tesla has been very clear that they do not intend to geofence FSD. And Tesla is working on FSD that will eventually be able to self-drive from coast to coast while you sleep in the back seat. But Elon has been clear that feature complete will just be the essential features for highway driving, parking lot driving and city driving and Tesla will then build on feature complete to get to the final version of FSD which will be L5 nogeofence when it is complete.
