This is obviously a joke, but if a business had this poster, it would actually be binding, or at least it would in EU.
So unless there are actual free beers tomorrow, it's false and illegal advertising.

I’ve seen “free beer was yesterday” signs a few times.

Come by with receipts and claim a full refund then

This sign hangs in lots of pubs in Europe.

OK, it must be accepted as an obvious a joke then.
But if it was considered the least bit ambiguous it would be illegal.

My local sports bar has a sign that says “free beer tomorrow, false advertising today”

Ah yes the "Full Self Driving" brand of limited autopilot requiring constant human supervision.

My Subaru EV has this. They just call it enhanced cruise control. I mean, that's what it is. It also monitors for driver inattentiveness.

Cross Country Summon
3,165 days since Elon Musk claimed summon would be able to autonomously drive a Tesla across country to pick up its owner in about two years. (1/6/2016)

IDK, maybe he meant it would take 2 years for the Tesla to drive across country when summoned, once the summon function was completed?
It's a tad slow IMO, but for some reason people thought it was amazing.😋

On Twitter this should be community noted.

My old Car is capable of this fully self driving, too. Just put a brick on the accelerator, release the clutch and run!

Infrastructure Week will be next week, I promise.
