In some cases, owners say the original documents are also no longer accessible online.<\/p>\n<p>Oliver Abcarius, who owns a 2018 Model 3, told Electrek that he bought FSD for his car in 2019. He recently tried to pull up the purchase agreement while preparing a refund case and noticed that the document had been renamed \u201cFull-Self Driving (Supervised) \u2013 August 12, 2019.\u201d But when he tried to open the document, the link led to an invalid page, according to a screenshot published by Electrek.<\/p>\n<p>The catch is that Tesla did not start using the \u201csupervised\u201d language for the feature until 2024.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cTesla has retroactively updated my documents from 2019 when I paid for FSD,\u201d Abcarius told Electrek. \u201cBack in 2019 Tesla did not contain \u2018supervised\u2019 language in the purchase agreement. I can no longer actually open the document as it links to an invalid page.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Abcarius said the same thing happened with documents for his wife\u2019s 2020 Model Y, which was\u00a0 bought with FSD. He said the \u201cMotor Vehicle Purchase Agreement\u201d is no longer accessible.<\/p>\n<p>According to Abcarius, the couple\u2019s other Tesla documents are still available, but the documents that would include details about their FSD purchases are not.<\/p>\n<p>Electrek says it confirmed that other owners of HW3 Teslas, an older version of Tesla\u2019s self-driving hardware, have run into the same issue.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For years, Tesla sold the software package with the label \u201cFull Self-Driving Capability,\u201d claiming that cars would eventually be able to fully drive themselves through future software updates. But in 2024, the company renamed the feature \u201cFull Self-Driving (Supervised),\u201d making clear that the technology still requires human oversight.<\/p>\n<p>That distinction matters even more now. A few months ago, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla vehicles with HW3 will never be able to achieve unsupervised self-driving capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=203\">Amazon\u2019s Rolling Out Another AI Feature So You\u2019ll Buy Even More Stuff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, Hardware 3, I wish it were otherwise, but Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD,\u201d Musk said during an earnings call in April. \u201cWe did think at one point it would, but relative to Hardware 4 it has only 1\/8 the memory bandwidth of Hardware 4.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>All of this comes as Tesla is facing growing legal scrutiny over its driver-assistance technology and how it has marketed it.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, a judge\u00a0upheld a $243 million jury verdict\u00a0in a case involving a\u00a0fatal 2019 crash\u00a0tied to Tesla\u2019s Autopilot feature in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>In February, the California Department of Motor Vehicles also announced that Tesla had stopped using the term \u201cAutopilot\u201d in marketing its vehicles in the state, calling the label misleading. The change allowed Tesla to avoid a 30-day suspension of its dealer and manufacturer licenses in California.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tesla is also facing a separate lawsuit in Texas over a Cybertruck crash involving its self-driving tech.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, the plaintiff, Justine Saint Amour, says she purchased her Cybertruck in February 2025. A few months later, on August 18, she was driving in Houston with Autopilot engaged when she approached a Y-shaped overpass. According to the lawsuit, the vehicle failed to curve to the right and instead continued straight toward a concrete barrier and the freeway below. Saint Amour alleges she disengaged Autopilot and tried to regain control but was unable to avoid crashing into the barrier.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit argues that Tesla is responsible for the crash because of its engineering choices and allegedly misleading marketing.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Electrek also notes that Tesla has removed material tied to its self-driving tech before. In August 2024, Tesla pulled a blog post from October 2016 that said \u201call Tesla vehicles produced in our factory \u2014 including Model 3 \u2014 will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=201\">Palantir Systems\u2019 Potential for Enshittification Has Become an \u2018Unacceptable\u2019 Risk, UK Politicians Say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some Tesla owners say purchase agreements for Tesla\u2019s Full Self-Driving feature now include \u2018supervised\u2019 language and are no longer accessible online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
