Telsa remotely disables Auto-Pilot on used car it sold at its own auction ...

The original vehicle sticker plainly lists the EAP and FSD as individual line items with a price. This normally means the items would stay with the vehicle for life just as with any other optional equipment.

Car was since then returned to Tesla back and sold by Tesla again on auction to this dealer who scammed the buyer. And again, this is reproduction of sticker, not photo.

Yes. I did say normally. The sticker image could be fake and Tesla is free to do as they wish. You can't believe anything you see on the internet. Too bad that's where most of our information comes from.

Tesla are using the same DRM model as many other tech companies, e.g. Amazon Kindle. If you "buy" a book on Kindle, you get considerably less rights than with a physical book. You can't transfer your Kindle license to another person, and Amazon can disable Kindles remotely. Being old school, I consider this outrageous, and no one in their right mind would buy into such a scheme. But millions do, and seem mostly happy with it, apart from the odd few who find out the hard way.

We are at a transition between the old and the new, and soon if not already people will expect the new limited DRM style of accessing books, music, movies, software, apps, door bells etc etc as a matter of course. It's the new normal.

So we can rewrite "The original vehicle sticker plainly lists the EAP and FSD as individual line items with a price. This normally means the items would stay with the vehicle for life just as with any other optional equipment. "

as:

"The original vehicle sticker plainly lists the EAP and FSD as individual licensed items with a price. This normally means only the original purchaser is licensed to use those options, and the items would need to be re-licensed by a new owner, just as with any other optional software."

rdl:
If you go poke around on Tesla forums you will see that no one really knows which way it works and apparently even Tesla doesn't seem to know (if you believe what people quote them as saying in emails and phone conversations).
