Exactly. All Tesla is doing here is destroying the resale value of their cars.
If Ford sells me a car that has ADAS installed, it's listed on the sticker, and the features work, then the price is completely immaterial and if they later try to disable it remotely I can't imagine the courts would look favorably on that.
This just killed any remaining desire I might have had to buy anything from Tesla.
- JadeNB 7y ago> Exactly. All Tesla is doing here is destroying the resale value of their cars. Not just the resale value, but the value, full stop. If I buy a car, I'm more worried, at least in the short term, about its features ceasing to work for me than I am about their not working for the next buyer.
- gnicholas 7y agoThis article doesn't make clear if the sticker on the first sale listed this feature. I think this could be relevant if Tesla were dealing with Buyer 1, but totally irrelevant with regard to Buyer 2 (who would have never seen the sticker from the first sale).
- resoluteteeth 7y ago> This article doesn't make clear if the sticker on the first sale listed this feature. See the Jalopkin article which makes it clear that it did by showing the Monroney sticker from Tesla's auction to the dealer: https://jalopnik.com/tesla-remotely-removes-autopilot-features-from-customer-1841472617?rev=1580941196331 https://jalopnik.com/tesla-remotely-removes-autopilot-featur...
- URSpider94 7y agoThere is no Monroney sticker for an auctioned car. Monroney stickers only come on new cars, not on used ones.
