    depends how you define “working” i suppose.

    can a tesla drive its full range automomously? probably…

    should it? probably not

      Musk defined it himself, as the car being able to drive autonomously from a parking lot across the country to pick you up in another parking lot.

          In theory is not the same as actually being able to do it, which was what he clearly claimed saying: And we can do that NOW.

            Its only not possible on consumer models because of restrictions put in place by tesla.

            As evidenced by Elon mode

            A tesla can drive its self, but it doesnt because of regulatory/safety/liability reasons

              No it was not, we have testimony from employees that FSD wasn’t even close to what Musk claimed. And it can’t even do it today.
              Just because you can flip a switch that says FSD doesn’t mean it works.

                Again, we’re arguing about the definition of “working” which was my original point.

                Can it self drive? yes

                Should it? no

                  That argument is stupid. My robot lawn mower “can drive itself” but it can’t follow traffic rules and would crash after a while if set to drive on its own in a road. Just as a Tesla. What Musk was implying was “it can drive itself without violating traffic rules and causing crashes” and clearly it can’t.

                    I think FSD is further along than you think it is.

                    certainly a lot further than the kind of “self driving” present in your standard robotic lawn mower

                  Can it self drive? yes No

                  That’s like saying a car with cruise control can self drive. Although FSD is more sophisticated, it still can’t.
                  The Tesla cannot self drive by any reasonable meaning of the term.
                  Tesla also calls it assisted self driving now. And that’s obviously not because it works now, which even now 8 years later it doesn’t.
