When you buy FSD and sell the car, the FSD stays with the car.
This is a muddy situation where car was sold back to Tesla, dealer bought it from Tesla and sold to a third party.
Dealer claims it bought the car with FSD from Tesla. Tesla claims the car never had FSD and it was enabled by mistake.
Someone is lying but it's a one off situation.
You don't loose $7k feature when you sell the car, it stays with the car.
... revokable with a change in the EULA? Does the EULA have an arbitration clause?
It would be a dumb move to pull this trick, but then again, what they did here was a dumb move. You can't trust the bean-counters to be reasonable when they see a way to get more beans.
How on earth can the car both never had FSD and having FSD enabled by mistake? The car either had FSD, or it didn't.
What if a customer ordered a car without the multifunction steering wheel and BMW accidentally built it with it. Couple of years forwards and someone notices that for some reason, the order sheet and the build sheet do not match. The owner takes their car to be serviced and the BMW technician switches the multifunction steering wheel panel with the blank steering wheel panel.
How can BMW at that point explain that the customer never paid for cruise control and therefore they never had it? The manufacturer shouldn't punish the consumer for their mistakes.
This is like them saying "Oh, we forgot to charge your dealer you for the premium interior and lighting" (which is listed on the same sheet as a $5000 option) - your response would quite rightly be "Tough, I bought it from the dealer at the agreed price based on the features listed, it's mine now"
And a system's audit revealed the discrepancy, and rather than just eating the loss, they decided to turn off the feature.
Or maybe it wasn't malicious, and the OTA update system had it listed as non-FSD and sent it an update which bricked the FSD.
Well, seems like FSD is not something that is really tied to the car but a checkbox in some configuration for the car.
Tesla gives, Tesla takes.
That's kind of scary.
(sometimes accidently)
Doesn't matter. The fact that Tesla can alter the vehicle according to their whims makes the car undesirable to me.
They fucked up, too bad, so sad, try again next time.
The latter is much easier, but not an iota less illegal from the viewpoint of the law.
