I agree. It should either be tied to the account holder, and transfer from vehicle to vehicle owned by that person, or be attached to the car and be transferred

I agree. It should either be tied to the account holder, and transfer from vehicle to vehicle owned by that person, or be attached to the car and be transferred right along with every other part of the car.
From a little bit of reading, it really seems like TSLA is trying to have it both ways on this, where it can just disappear after any private transaction?
The fact that there's question here is insane. This should be an easy question to answer from the purchase agreement, but I downloaded a purchase agreement I could find, but it didn't say anything about FSD.
Has anyone here bought a Tesla with FSD? Did your purchase agreement say anything on the subject?
- dcow 6y agoFSD and other software upgrades follow the car. Cars can transfer owners just fine. If the car is wrecked and declared salvage, the software value is gone and only the parts can be used. If you rebuild the VIN you don’t magically get the software features back because in the Tesla DB it’s a salvaged car and they can’t (or won’t) be liable for it.
- eganist 6y ago> the software value is gone and only the parts can be used. why?
- dcow 6y agoBecause Tesla can’t (or won’t) be liable for those aspects in a post-salvage vehicle. I’m not saying it’s optimal. It would be nice of there was a way to re-certify a vehicle or something. But in lieu of that I think it makes sense for the liability of running e.g. FSD software to transfer to the people salvaging or to the final new owner by way of third party modification to enable it.
- toast0 6y agoThis would be fair, it Tesla pays the title holder for the FSD and supercharger licenses (if so equipped) when it's salvaged.
