Tesla promotes FSD misuse in its own videos β€” undermining its legal defense

11 June 2026 at 18:11

Tesla is facing up to $14.5 billion in lawsuits related to its β€œFull Self-Driving” and Autopilot systems β€” and the company’s own marketing department keeps making the problem worse. In two official promotional videos published in the last three weeks, Tesla showed a driver making espresso while FSD drives and shared footage where FSD committed multiple traffic violations in Denmark.

The problem is obvious: Tesla’s entire legal defense in crash lawsuits rests on the argument that drivers are responsible for supervising FSD at all times. But Tesla’s own promotional content actively encourages the opposite behavior.
