What was claimed

Even the Tesla haters are now gushing about Tesla Self-Driving. Hell has really frozen over.

Our verdict

Inaccurate

The sources show mixed or negative reactions from reviewers and survey respondents. Edmunds said the feature had a mixed reception, Reuters reported staffers did not trust Tesla's self-driving claims, and MotorTrend said it quit using FSD. This is a rhetorical expression, not a factual claim that can be verified. It does not have a concrete real-world test.

However, it significantly overstates public sentiment and ignores persistent safety concerns and negative brand perception. The claim that "even Tesla haters are now gushing" is not supported by evidence of broad sentiment shift.

Claims checked

Misleading85%
While some tech reviewers have praised FSD improvements, public perception remains negative. Only 4-10% of consumers cite FSD as a purchase motivator, and brand trust scores have hit new lows. The claim overstates the extent of positive sentiment shift.

This claim may mislead readers without added context.

Tesla Self-Driving has improved significantly

Verified80%
Multiple recent reviews acknowledge FSD improvements and capability gains compared to earlier versions. However, this improvement is limited and still requires driver supervision.
