Official Tesla FSD promo shows car breaking multiple laws and driver brewing espresso

The official Tesla account on X kicked off the circus by uploading a promotional clip featuring a driver happily brewing espresso with a portable coffee maker behind the wheel. The video confidently claimed the software can take passengers anywhere, while a tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it disclaimer at the bottom whispered that the human must still pay absolute attention.

To celebrate the software's launch in Denmark, Tesla Europe posted another video of a car navigating Copenhagen, which local journalists quickly realized was a rolling crime spree. The Danish newspaper Politiken analyzed the footage and pointed out that the autonomous car illegally drove in a bus lane, made a prohibited right turn, ignored a "no entry" sign, cruised down a street closed to car traffic, and even took a casual stroll down a dedicated bicycle path. Tesla representatives flatly refused to comment on the Danish road rampage.

This creative approach to safety follows a March promo where Tesla North America featured a Cybertruck owner who claimed his eye doctor recommended the autopilot system because his vision was actively failing.

To make things even more exciting for distracted drivers, a software update forced users to provide mandatory feedback on the touchscreen every single time they override the autopilot, keeping a giant prompt on the screen until they tap a reason or record a voice memo.

Watching a multi-billion-dollar tech giant boast about safety while publishing footage of its own products violating basic transit laws is the ultimate peak-silicon-valley performance. It seems the true "Full Self-Driving" experience is actually a high-stakes game of roulette where the prize is a traffic ticket and a lukewarm espresso.
