If a car manufacturer accidentally sells a car with an upgraded interior priced as a non-upgraded interior, once it's gone, they can't chase down whoever owns it and swap out the seat leather.
They fucked up, too bad, so sad, try again next time.

- huffmsa 7y agoA decent lawyer will make the case that it either is or Tesla should be in the hook to renegotiate every upgrade, every time the vehicle resells.
- Slartie 7y agoI am pretty sure it is. Stealing something that someone legally bought from you back again because you made a mistake when calculating the sales price is blatantly illegal, regardless of whether the "stealing process" includes breaking up the car door and ripping out seats or unchecking some checkbox in a remote management software. The latter is much easier, but not an iota less illegal from the viewpoint of the law.
