> Can you currently sit in a Tesla and go from A to B safely without paying attention to the car? No.

End of story, it doesn't have "full" self driving. They have not delivered on the promise. They may do so in the future but categorically have not done so yet.

They have delivered on the promise where the promise is in the fine print: the car is delivered with the hardware Tesla currently believes is required for Full Self Driving.

Until the software is up to the task, people who buy the FSD option get a bunch of convenience ADAS features like auto park, lane changes while on autopilot, taking exits or entry ramps while on auto pilot, navigating interchanges on autopilot, and stopping for traffic control.

The software currently delivers everything that the brochure says it can do, and Tesla is viably working towards the future product which can do the bits they want it to do, namely drive the car without supervision in most scenarios.

I have all the hardware “required” to win a formula one Grand Prix. Have I won a formula one Grand Prix?

I’ll believe they have all the hardware required when they deliver on the promise.

No you do not have the hardware required to win the F1. There is more to an F1 car than “engine” and “wheels”. The specs you have to conform to are a rule book several pages longer than any nation’s Design Rules for passenger vehicles.

As for winning the F1 Grand Prix, you have a lifetime of experience in race driving to acquire before you are even going to be crossing the finish line before the race is over.

Please do not engage in such absurd reductionism, that kind of comment is what I would expect to see in /r/selfdrivingcars or /r/cars from the rabid Tesla-haters.
