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 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.

Fleet buys Tesla Semi electric trucks after stunning 1.55 kWh/mile efficiency

The purchase marks a significant step beyond piloting and into actual fleet investment for the less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, which is now expanding its electric Class 8 testing across a broader operating footprint.
