> FSD is a level 5 system, but it just has too high error rate to give it full control. It's a beta software for a level 5 system.

Level 5 defines that the system is so reliable that there is zero intervention of the driver and that there is no need for them to be fully attentive behind the wheel as defined by the SAE [0]; exactly the requirement of a robo-taxi. This was advertised by Tesla with claims of robo-taxis by 2020, with a fake taxi app for marketing the scam.

> Yes, Elon overpromised and they failed to deliver in time.

And yet he continues to play the pied piper with more false promises. Like these claims and promises:

   "Tesla's Full Self-Driving tech will have Level 5 autonomy by the end of 2021" [0]

   "FSD will be capable of driving the car anywhere under any conditions with no need for human interaction." [0]

So it is now 2022 and they finally admitted it is Level 2 and requires the full attention of the driver having their eyes on the road at all times. Another false promise.

> Today, FSD is already insanely good and can drive 99% of time without human intervention.

Even the Tesla fans and FSD beta testers dispute this vacuous claim and that figure is significantly lower, given that it completely doesn't work in the most dangerous time to drive which is at night and in other conditions as well. As long as it still requires the driver to be always attentive behind the wheel with FSD on, it is not "Level 5 Full Self Driving" which was advertised by Elon Musk and Tesla but it is absolutely Level 2.

> It's still not good enough, and it's multiple years late from original forecasts. Still, I wouldn't call it a scam.

You need to snap out of the pied piper's scam and realise that FSD is an on-going scam, compensating their false promises for more price increases and forever promises.

Progress this year has been pretty amazing. If they didn't progress or didn't try to make it work, then I'd call it a scam.

You're not reading that SAR chart right. If you look at the features and examples, FSD is level 5 in there. That's what the system is designed to do. It's not a lane assistant or a traffic jam chauffer. Again, it's level 2 only because it's beta and requires supervision, and the driver is liable for any mistakes.

It should have been complete years ago in 2020, at Level 5 FSD; so what do you mean about 'progress'? After missing more deadlines and claims, the price of FSD increases again despite the multiple malfunctions from lots of testers.

One example of a devoted Tesla fan / investor (Whole Mars Catalog) doing controlled experiments and driving around the same San Francisco street(s) is hardly a generic case of the whole situation.

I have read it correctly and Tesla FSD is still not Level 5 as advertised and by definition of the SAE chart.

Even in the video the driver is still paying full attention and has to continuously intervene by touching and guiding the steering wheel. They still have their attention and their eyes on the road which is not required for a Level 5 robot-taxi FSD system supposedly due for 2020.

So Tesla knows they are selling a Level 2 system still requiring the full attention of the driver and still not even close to the Level 5 robo-taxi claims, but was marketed as Level 5 anyway to mislead their customers with the help of their loyal fans doing videos of controlled experiments to fool new customers into purchasing an unfinished product.

Given it frequently malfunctions, the generic excuse is: ‘With each update, it gets better’,‘There is potential, buy it now before the price increases again’ or ‘It will get better soon, its early days’.

It is clearly not early days and we have given it enough time to be Level 5 FSD and it still isn't close even if they were given up to this year to finish it. So it is definitely a piped piper scam selling false promises to their customers. If this was a different company, there would be class action lawsuits all over this.

You need to really snap out of it.
