The probe isn't about the future "full self driving" product.
It's about the current "autopilot" product, or more importantly, the marketing around it. They are investigating if Tesla deliberately oversold the capabilities of autopilot, implying that can do far more than it actually can.
Basically: are Tesla criminally responsible for customers who misunderstood what autopilot was, and then didn't correctly supervise the autopilot and ended up in accidents?
Though the fact that Tesla/Musk were continually talking about the FSD features will play into the probe, but only because customers might have confused things said about the future FSD feature, for the capabilities of the current system. But only if Tesla deliberately encouraged or knew about this confusion (or should have known)
