If you were on an internal beta program of Apple/Google and as an Apple/Google employee badmouthed the product you were testing, would you call it a "shitstorm" if they revoked your access and fired you?
FSD - Tesla’s auto-drive that is anything but “Full” and essentially a live beta, and a $10k option.
FSD Beta - Tesla’s latest FSD software that’s somewhere between alpha and beta status. Free for those who qualify, request access, and have paid for FSD.

imo the distinction is deliberately obtuse, people pay 10k thinking they're getting FSD, and you do get auto lane change and smart summon, but stop signs and navigating autopilot are behind the safety-scored limited rollout.
It’s clear that many or most people are paying that money thinking they’re going to get the Beta features.
* I assume so, based on the first paragraph of the article: "showing how the company’s Full Self Driving Beta system worked in different locations around Silicon Valley"
It should be criminal when the product has safety inplocation
I think you meant "implication". And no there is no "safety implications" in this case. This is just someone violating their NDA while also badmouthing their employer and being fired for it.
> Yes, personal retaliation against criticism is about as 'proper' behaviour as is pissing in public
There is zero evidence of any "personal retaliation" here.
You say "badmouthed", I say "exposed". Clearly this person was a Tesla fan, he was merely demonstrating (perhaps inadvertently) the inadequacies of a system for which there's am ongoing misleading narrative.
