Tesla promotes FSD misuse in official videos, undermining its legal defense
Tesla faces lawsuits totaling up to $14.5 billion related to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Autopilot systems. However, in two recent promotional videos, the company shows drivers performing activities without supervising the driving, such as making espresso, and also displays multiple traffic violations committed by FSD in Denmark. This contradicts Tesla’s legal defense that drivers must actively supervise the system. Promoting irresponsible use weakens Tesla’s position in litigation and draws regulatory criticism, including from California’s DMV and Denmark’s FDM agency.
- Official video shows driver making espresso without supervising FSD
- Denmark video shows at least four traffic violations by FSD
🔎 Why it matters: The contradiction between Tesla’s promotional videos and its legal defense about active driver supervision in FSD directly impacts its strategy in multi-billion dollar lawsuits.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: Promoting misuse of FSD may weaken Tesla’s legal defense in accident lawsuits.
