Ah, that makes much more sense. Tesla has every right to do whatever it
wants while it owns the car (while keeping it legal, of course). Whether
the changes were communicated properly to the subsequent dealer is
another matter.

Subject: Re: [EVDL] Tesla Remotely Removed Autopilot Features from Used
Model S After 'Audit'
The buyer of the car did not buy the vehicle from Tesla. He bought if from
a third party.
My understanding is that the car was either a trade in or buy back by
Tesla. Tesla then sold the car at auction to a third party dealer. The
dealer listed the car based on the original sticker features.
Tesla frequently removes upgraded features on resale cars in order to lower
the price and move the vehicle quicker. The FSD was part of the original
car package, but not on the vehicle sold at auction. The only thing
unclear is what features Tesla listed on the vehicle at auction and whether
the dealer thought he bought a car with FSD or new the car did not have
FSD, but priced based on the original sticker.

And y'all wonder why I'll never buy a Tesla. I admire the brilliant
design
and the positive PR for EVs, but I can't really own one, nor can you.
Thanks for the EV boost, Mr Musk, but no thanks to your car.
