These people's reading comprehension is atrocious.

Tesla's FSD does not exist yet. A beta product is not the same as a product. Yes one can pre-pay for the product and get some features now, but actual FSD is simply not here yet. By "actual FSD" I mean something that is non-beta and actually does full self driving, in case that needs to be spelled out. Boy.

Someone should tell Telsa!

"The complimentary FSD computer upgrade for owners with Full Self-Driving capability is now available."

Quite a lot of people have told Tesla to choose a better name for the feature, precisely because the name implies greater capabilities than the it actually has.

It’s good, but it’s not good enough for that name to not be misleading.

Cute, but having the "capability"...

as in, will be capable of FSD in the future when the software is ready...

...does not mean that the functionality has come out of beta.

Where does it say on Tesla’s official FSD page that it is still in beta?

Also why would I assume that the software is only ready in the future when it says “The complimentary FSD computer upgrade for owners with Full Self-Driving capability is now available.”

What part of “available now” is meant to imply it’s ready in the future?

It’s ok… I guess it’s just not for you.

I agree with a lot of your points, but the source of the confusion is Tesla.

They can make things much more clear and take the marketing hit, but they choose not to do so.

I don't follow is this video about Tesla fans reactions to criticism?

The marketing for FSD has been quite clear that your car will drive itself completely soon. Just check out the years-old video on tesla.com/autopilot claiming there is someone in the drivers seat only for legal reasons

Tesla haters complaining about this are like the guy at the end of video. If you don’t like the website, just don’t visit it.
