I think this is simply a confusion over the meaning of words.

You can indeed buy Full Self Driving™ (FSD), but even then your Tesla is not capable of self driving, fully (eg, there are many scenarios where a human is still required)

People take "Full" as meaning L5, but Tesla uses "full" as in ODD (Operational Design Domain). It can go anywhere, city streets, highways, parking lots, unmarked roads. In that sense it is indeed "full". This is clear when you look at the history of Tesla autonomy products, first there was Autopilot, which is only for highways. Then they release Full Self Driving Beta, which includes every type of driving.
