    Most people tend to incorrectly think

    I mean, Musk and Tesla oversold and mismarketed the feature. Don’t blame the consumer here.

      They distinctly labeled them with names that are not even remotely close in wording, one even with a very clear and precise name of the intended feature set (FSD). I can’t really see how people can think they’re the same TBH, especially considering the clear distinction between the two on their website.

      I 100% agree the feature set of FSD is false marketing and wildy misleading as it’s currently not even close to delivering anything beyond level 2 autonomy, and hasn’t for the past decade since they announced it was “ready end of year”, albeit still more capable than the auto pilot feature (at least in the closed beta).

        Yes, I can’t see why people would hear ‘Autopilot’ and think it had anything at all to do with full self driving.

          Why would they when the website specifically and quite clearly distinguishes the two…only a person that makes no effort to understand what they’re talking about would get confused and continue to spread false information.

            Have you ever talked to other people before? What you discovered is pretty common, unfortunately.
