But this behaviour is very typical of the current software license model.

You can buy a brand new physical CD with software on it, install it and use it.

You can also sell the CD second hand to the next guy, but when he installs it and try to use it, the publisher charge him a 2nd time for the license. Game publishers are using this very thing to kill GameStop's 2nd hand game market.

Tesla is treating their cars the same way, the physical car itself it's just a platform for distributing their software. 

Which means there is no resale value of Teslas anymore. 

This is a dangerous path that Tesla is taking.

 

Wow. Don’t know how to even start here. You are taking one in incident of an audit disabling a feature - likely for an extremely good reason, and pretending that you can’t sell your used Tesla because they will remove features you paid for after the sale.  Come on now. That is the biggest load of crap ever.  You know that is not true.  Ever. Wishful thinking for the competition maybe. 

 

Say you ordered the base seats in your 911 and Porsche incorrectly installed 18 way or race bucket in your car, do you think Porsche would send a team to come to your house and remove the add on seats? 

This was a mistake Tesla made and they don't want to owe up to it.

Plus, who says they won't ask me to pay for FSD again say if I buy your Model 3 off your hand and Tesla say while the car originally purchased by you have FSD option, I didn't pay them for the option and they will remotely remove it from my purchase.
