I, like everyone else here, was initially outraged that this could happen and I immediately thought "Oh Tesla, what have you done to your public perception". This is just not what people are expecting and this scenario works against Tesla being embraced by the "every man". However, I did have another thought that I have not seen talked about - does the person that originally bought the car still have autopilot? In other words, if they buy a new Tesla, does it automatically come with autopilot? Is the purchase of autopilot linked to the person and not the car? Though I still don't like that, I could be at least be persuaded to accept that paradigm.
