Here’s the wording right out of the Tesla manual:

Warning:

Autosteer is a hands-on feature.
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.

Warning:
Autosteer is intended for use
only on highways and limited-access
roads with a fully attentive driver. When
using Autosteer, hold the steering wheel
and be mindful of road conditions and
surrounding
traffic.

Do not use Autosteer
on city streets, in construction zones, or
in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians
may be present. Never depend on
Autosteer to determine an appropriate
driving path. Always be prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause damage, serious
injury or death

So in other words, only use this vehicle in driverless mode, on a straight desert highway.

Oh, OK, so now the scapegoat is they’re not RTFM. Fabulous.

If you are not suppose to take your hands off the wheel and stay focused, what is the point? Now instead of just driving, Tesla has you performing another mental task of evaluating the performance of the autopilot system. Seems to me that would be more exhausting than just driving.
