The vehicle prompts you to keep your eyes on the road and be prepaired to take over at any moment every single time you enable this feature. To pretend that Tesla drivers don't know this "because of false advertising" is just as fasle as the advertising itself.

Tesla marketing is their chief marketer retweeting videos of people having sex on autopilot and making jokes about it, or the doctored video on their website where the driver spends the whole drive without touching the steering wheel, or Tesla's CEO driving around in a news interview with his hands of the wheel for much of the ride, or promoting influencer videos that don't follow that guidance.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

  1. Autopilot != FSD. He’s probably using the latter
  2. Take a closer look at his leg. He’s wiggling the steering wheel to fool the safety mechanism. When you intentionally bypass a safety feature, you can’t claim ignorance

Yes it does. I don't know how that ragebait video is supposed to prove otherwise.

You're quite openly showing your colors here. You're emotionally invested into this. You don't even care about the facts.
