I've seen lots of articles about different cases, but this one is dominating the Google rankings right now: https://jalopnik.com/tesla-remotely-removes-autopilot-features-from-customer-1841472617 https://jalopnik.com/tesla-remotely-removes-autopilot-featur... The car was bought from Tesla, but the features was disabled AFTER the sale, and indeed, after a resale had been agreed to. So it's not quite with no involvement from Tesla here, but I've seen ones in completely private resales too; just can't find them right now.

I would returned the car to their dealer... through the window. Edit: Autopilot didn't engage, that's weird...

Tesla's reasoning for disabling FSD on some of their buyback cars is so they can sell it for a lower price and give the user the option to one-click purchase FSD in the future without needing a service appointment. For the private sell situation, this is close to what you might be thinking of[0]. Supposedly the story is: Tesla bought a car back, however then sold it to an auction house and enabled FSD as a "demo". The auction house mistakenly listed the features as being enabled, and when the car sold Tesla never disabled the FSD demo. When the user then privately sold the car to a new owner, the new owner performed the ownership transfer, however either a human or some automated system saw that the FSD demo was enabled and disabled it. 0: https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-disables-autopilot-on-model-s-without-alerting-owner-2020-2 https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-disables-autopilot-on-...
