I'm still convinced that it being called "full self driving" is misleading marketing and really needs to stop, since it isn't according to Tesla

Why do you think Musk put so much money into helping Trump win? Tesla was under multiple investigations for safety and unkept promises, and he knew that he would not have leverage to halt those under a Harris administration.

If that was his goal he would have minded his own business after the election, instead of spouting invective posts against Trump on X.
