- frumper 7y agoIf I am buying a used Tesla and I will pay more for it if it has the features. I wouldn't assume those features are a mistake and will be turned off.
- knorker 7y agoI agree, and that sucks. Fact remains that nobody paid Tesla for that product.
- resoluteteeth 7y agoThe dealer bought the car from Tesla with the features enabled, so I would say that they did actually pay Tesla for them.

- mnm1 7y agoWhy don't you take your own advice. The dealer clearly paid for it and the buyer paid for it from the dealer. > When the dealer bought the car at auction from Tesla on November 15, it was optioned with both Enhanced Autopilot and Tesla’s confusingly-named Full Self Driving Capability; together, these options totaled $8,000. You can see them right on the Monroney sticker for the car: [1] Further, this is not the only instance. > I sell dozens of Teslas a year, and sold my father in law a Model X P90D with ludicrous speed package. 60 days after the purchase of the car, Tesla removed his ludicrous speed package. Upon complaints to them they said he never paid for it. We have video evidence and multiple pictures of the vehicle with it. They even removed the line under the P90D. I am still shocked at these acts. Tesla can claim it was not paid for, but that in no way makes their claim valid. The car had this feature and they took it away. They are thieves.
