- Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving Supervised' expansion is facing backlash due to unfulfilled promises, especially for HW3 vehicle owners.
- Tesla initially claimed all vehicles from 2016 had hardware capable of full self-driving, but later admitted HW3 cannot support unsupervised self-driving.
- HW3 owners are discontent as Tesla prioritizes HW4 for FSD updates and offers misleading discounts, exacerbating customer frustration.
- Tesla is expanding FSD internationally, but HW3 owners in markets like Australia and New Zealand are left without promised features.
- A class action lawsuit in Australia, along with ongoing lawsuits in the US and China, highlights Tesla's legal and financial risks.
- Critics suggest Tesla should offer substantial discounts or compensations to HW3 owners to regain trust and mitigate legal liabilities.
