To be entirely fair, Tesla has been working on technology that would amount to level 3, which has controversially been deployed publicly for several years now, but they haven't requested official level 3 from the SAE. Point-to-point hands-off navigation was possible at one time in some places, but the technology hasn't become reliable.
Still a very far cry level 5. I think it's an extension of the object recognition problem, where it seems easy but has eluded the industry for half a century. That compounded with EM's radical confidence leads to undeliverable promises.
