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

Tesla is facing up to $14.5 billion in lawsuits related to its βFull Self-Drivingβ and Autopilot systems β and the companyβs 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: Teslaβs entire legal defense in crash lawsuits rests on the argument that drivers are responsible for supervising FSD at all times. But Teslaβs own promotional content actively encourages the opposite behavior.
