The question is, whether that dealer bought the car with the autopilot included. If yes, he can sue Tesla, if not, then it was ok for Tesla to disable it. And the updates point to the fact, that the car was sold without autopilot as a feature.
- leereeves 7y ago> And the updates point to the fact, that the car was sold without autopilot as a feature. What updates point to that? The sticker says the car had AP, the disclosure doesn't say otherwise, and everyone seems to agree the car did in fact have AP enabled when Tesla sold it on Nov 15. What evidence says Tesla sold the car without AP? It doesn't matter that Tesla's records say the car shouldn't have had AP, it did have it. It also doesn't matter whether Tesla wronged Alec or the dealer here. In either case, if the story is accurate, Tesla sabotaged a car they'd already sold because they accidentally left a feature enabled that they didn't want to.
- _ph_ 7y agoThe sticker refers to the first sale of the car, not to the sale of the then used car by Tesla to the dealer.
- leereeves 7y agoEven if the sticker wasn't shown at auction, Tesla isn't off the hook. Cars at auction are typically sold as-is, and when they are sold as-is, the seller can't say "Oops, we forgot to disable that feature" and then disable it a few days later.
