It seems that Tesla gave up the complete autonomous driving

• Buyers of these units sued Tesla because they thought they had been deceived.

• Although this is not the end of this option, it seems that it is not in the immediate plans of society either.

One of the features expected by Tesla users was complete standalone driving, a resource for which they will have to wait a little longer, was suspended.

The electric vehicle company has eliminated from its design studios the ability to pay thousands of extra dollars for what it describes as a complete stand-alone driving, a top-level option for its autopilot system.

Elon Musk, the current CEO of Tesla, said Thursday on his Twitter account that the tool "was causing too much confusion."

The 47-year-old American businessman began marketing cars with the self-driving option in October 2016, priced at $ 8,000. However, Tesla later suffered a series of delays, including the departure of several of its engineers.

The buyers of these units filed a lawsuit against the company, believing that they had been deceived when buying vehicles with an option that did not even exist.

Although this is not the end of this option, it seems that it is not in the immediate plans of society either.

In September, Musk invited its employees to join an internal testing program related to the self-driving option, for which 100 employees were needed.

Tesla again failed to reach its weekly production target of Model 3 and said it faced a 40% tariff in China due to the trade war between the Asian country and the United States.

The electric car manufacturer has announced that it is accelerating the construction of its Shanghai plant in order to combat high rates.

Tesla produced more than 5,000 model 3 units in the last week of September, below its target of 6,000 units.

In the third quarter of the year, the company assembled 53,000 cars, according to its target of 50,000 to 55,000 units of Model 3, and delivered 55,840 vehicles to its customers.

The company's shares rose nearly 2% to $ 316.79, in operations prior to market opening.

"Now that production has stabilized, the delivery and logistics of the vehicle exit were our main challenges in the third quarter," the company said in a statement.

Tesla first met its target of 5,000 vehicles a week at the end of June after a series of bottlenecks in production and delays. Since then, the company has tried to maintain and increase this level.
