This is an old microsite from last October. Most features listed on that page are not available in production (or at all).

I believe the claim is that all of their vehicles include the hardware required for these planned future features. They call attention to regulatory challenges, but gloss over the fact that many of these items aren't ready yet from a software perspective.

> Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval.

I wonder what the current status is, both in terms of software validation, and regulatory approval.

Can it self-drive in snow and rain?

If it will shovel its way out of my driveway, I'm in.

I think this is old, or at least deceptive advertisement.

There are two packages for the model S which add up to $9k extra[0]:

Enhanced Autopilot

Full Self-Driving Capability

The fact those are add-ons and their descriptions seems at odds with the statements made on the page.

I've seen multiple ottos and uber self driving cars driving during the rain so I'd trust it.

The car seems to stop for no apparent reason. I noticed it once next to two pedestrians just off the road, and again after turning right at a stop sign. I wonder if that is why they are showing it in a sped up format -- it certainly makes it harder to notice.
