Tesla retroactively added 'supervised' to FSD contracts owners signed years ago

5 hours ago

Tesla retroactively modified original Full Self-Driving (FSD) purchase agreements to add 'supervised' language, with some original documents becoming inaccessible.
Multiple owners reported issues accessing original contracts from 2016 to early 2024, which lacked 'supervised' terms and promised unsupervised autonomy.
Tesla renamed FSD to 'Full Self-Driving (Supervised)' in 2024, clarifying it is not autonomous, and later confirmed HW3 vehicles cannot achieve unsupervised FSD.
The document inaccessibility aligns with a pattern, including Tesla deleting a 2016 blog post about full self-driving hardware, amid ongoing lawsuits.
Original contracts are key evidence in lawsuits, with potential legal implications like spoliation of evidence, as Tesla faces billions in litigation over FSD advertising.
