Way more efficient than everyone owning a car (or more than one) and it being parked, unused, 95% of the time. --- End quote --- Offtopic: I doubt that will happen. Owning a (second hand) car which doesn't depreciate like crazy will always be cheaper to own even if it sits idle 95% of the time instead of renting. Also people will want to drive around in relatively new cars if they pay top dollar. Where do the older cars go to? Put some numbers on the idea and you'll see it will be a very expensive solution because at some point you'll need many cars at the same time. |

The statement from the dealer confirms that. He is saying "the feature was working when I drove it therefore it is legit". He deals with Tesla, and also has seen Tesla withdraw features not paid for, so he already knows he is lying. Tesla provide the grey area, dodgy salesmen will exploit it. There is a remote possibility that the dealer didn't know what he was buying at auction, but salesmen don't get far without knowing the real $ value of items they are selling, so I find that unlikely. --- End quote --- Moreover as he already have seen features disabled, selling car with a premise AP will be fixed in software is basically fraud. |

Tesla is probably doing the customer a favor here by disabling this crap anyway. |
