Full Self Fraud
You can’t get a refund if you’ve been paying a subscription for a missing product.
If they want a subscription based car. Then at the very least I want to “rent” a car under that subscription, and not just one car. Whatever car I choose and for how ever long I want.
Oh that will never happen? Cool I’ll keep my 20+ year old car with no data gathering.
That’s called car sharing, and exists in a lot of places.
But… I thought Tesla didn’t have full self driving.
It’s what they call their lane-assist/cruise control.
They were supposed to stop using the term but the article might not be caught up.
I’ve used and and it seems like full self driving. Maybe that’s why it keeps killing people.
Evil company does evil shit. Then again roads will be safer if fewer people have access to it and more annoyed drivers could potentially be a good advertisement for public transport. It‘s not all bad.
I wanted a Tesla, until about seven or eight years ago when they switched off features after some dude bought his Tesla used, because only the original owner had paid for the features.
I knew this is what it would turn into. Fuck Tesla, and fuck Musk.
The only cases I’ve heard that fit this, is some of the old model S where “free supercharging” got removed from vehicles that were resold through Tesla.
Do you have a link to cases where functionality actually got removed from vehicles sold privately directly? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, I just haven’t heard of any.

Edit: Ah, sold privately, as in directly between individuals? I’m not sure about that, but they totally could. They can track the location of the car; if it starts getting parked at a different house regularly, for example, it’d be easy to tell it’d been sold.
Yeah they probably could, like all manufactures can these days, but I haven’t heard of it actually happening outside of them going back in to Tesla to be resold. Directly from person to person they retain features and even free supercharge access.
Tesla is already a failing company. This will only accelerate their decline.
LOL who are these idiots buying their crappy cars? You only have yourselves to blame. Elon is just playing you like a fiddle.
I have Autopilot on mine (2020). I’ve asked them at the shop to remove it and reinstall basic cruise control and they refused, and I’m jealous. Autopilot suuuucks. I went on a 1200 mile road trip through North Texas. The whole time the car thought the speed limit was 55 when it was actually 75, and it refused to go any faster, so I had to drive for hours with no cruise control. It sucked.
There is a setting in the menu where you can deactivate autopilot/FSD yourself and instead have a normal cruise control function.
The people who went to business school and make sure everything is priced as high as possible.
Elon is just playing you like a fiddle.
Fiddles? More like grains of sand on the beach…
Err… is… is the expression “playing you like grains of sand on the beach”?
😅🤣😂
Yeah, I was lost on that one too…
I don’t think you understand how idioms work
Fuck Tesla and any/every other automaker for switching to subscription-based anything for features. As if the fuckstick hasn’t already raped people on price enough as it is. The board is completely lost and a bunch of idiots to keep fumbling over Lord Elon’s decisions.
They rolled this update out mid-journey, and I had to scramble to swap seats with the manequin driver. Not cool, Elon.
Not. Cool.
I think this could be legally interesting (I’m no expert), because with the different kind of contract the lessor’s duties change. Especially regarding bugs or mistakes of the vehicle.
Well that should cut down on the deaths and the lawsuits from those deaths at least.
