Enhanced Autopilot removed - Bought From 3rd Party Dealer

Is is done at step 3 most of the time. But Tesla mess up (they shouldn't, but they do) on occasion and it doesn't happen until later. That's when a post turns up here from an angry buyer. The fault here is a bi diffuse, Tesla take some blame (for messing up removing it), the seller (for mis-representation, or ignorance), and the buyer (for perhaps not doing their homework). Basically, Tesla need to fix their systems so that a car that goes through their hands never leaves it mis-configured.

I would like to see the documentation when the car leaves Tesla’s hands to see if any blame goes past Tesla.

Or they should not be messing with the feature that the car has the the first place. It's gross to defend them like that.

Buyer do their homework? If I buy a car from a used lot, I expect everything on the car goes with It. Wheels, seats, windshield, entertainment system, and any software that exists in the car at the time of sale. What other homework does a buyer have to do? If Tesla forgets to do it before they sell it - its Tesla’s loss and problem. If you apply this to any other accessory on a car - the argument is nonsensical.

Unless Tesla is providing a refund for the features purchased for the vehicle, when the vehicle is traded in or re-sold, those features should transfer with the vehicle, excluding FUSC (Free Unlimited SuperCharging - which was a free item, except for some of the early vehicles where SuperCharging required a purchase of the hardware).

Presence of features like EAP or FSD should impact the trade-in/re-sale value of the vehicle - and Tesla should not be taking those features away.

No. This is solely Tesla's fault. All they have to do is configure the car properly prior to auction. It is a simple process that they can't get right.
