> the worst part is that it's not even transferable from one car to another.

That would make sense to do it that way: Sell FSD as some sort of license that always works in any Tesla one drives.

How does it currently work? If someone sells their Tesla does the FSD package follow the car or does the new owner need to purchase FSD for that car?

I believe it follows the car, as you can buy used Teslas with FSD.

IIRC it depends on if it was ordered with FSD or bought it as an upgrade. My understanding is if it wasn't originally ordered with it, the new owner has to upgrade again to get it.

(Since its on the monroney label they have to keep it for cars that are ordered with it originally)

It follows the car if you sell directly to another person or through a third party dealership. If Tesla gets the car back, they'll wipe the upgrade and charge for it again.

thanks for answering my question. wow, "wipe the upgrade and charge for it again"... what a racket smh
