EAP Retention w/Private Party Sale

If your car has EAP, and you sell it directly to another person, yes.
EDIT: let me amend this a bit...
If your car has EAP (and you purchased the car with EAP, with proof of that on your MVPA), and you sell directly to another person, then yes. There are people who have EAP but never paid for it, due to it being left on from a trial or something. in that case, no it wouldnt. If you bought it, yes it would.

The only time Tesla can remove a paid feature is if ownership of the car passes back to Tesla (ie a trade in, or a lemon buyback, or something like that).
The only reason anyone is confused on this is there's been a couple edge cases where someone sold the car to Tesla with a feature, Tesla flagged that feature to be removed on their back end system, but that removal didn't get pushed to the actual vehicle until it had gone to auction so it looked like it still came with that feature even though it had been flagged for removal while Tesla owned the car.... then when an audit or software push removed it from the actual car- big headlines.
None of this happens for private sales where Tesla never owned the car after original new sale.
Above not to be confused with "unpaid" features that explicitly don't follow the owner like the type of free lifetime supercharging Model 3 Performance owners were offered in 2018, where the terms explicitly say they're only for the original owner.
