FSD in a used Tesla

[haroldo]

Asking for a friend (seriously)...
Friend just bought from Tesla a 2020 S, the ad said it had FSD (not FSD capable, but it said that the car had it installed).
He got the car yesterday, and FSD is grayed out.
When I got FSD, I had to press the 'button' and deal with safety score, which, I believe, is no longer used.
Is there anything he has to do to get FSD activated?
Thanks!

It either Has FSD or it doesn’t. FSB Beta is a different story. Need to find out what it has and work from there.

What is greyed out exactly? As @Yelobird said, you appear to be confusing regular FSD and FSD Beta. I don’t know how Tesla is handling this now, but previously the FSD option transferred to a new owner (unless Tesla resold the car), but enrollment in FSD Beta did not.

If Tesla owned the vehicle, it does not have FSD. They remove it from all trade-in cars.

I have seen this often in used Tesla ads. tThey scam you by calling autopilot, FSD. If it had FSD, it would've been included with the car. I don’t think they have allowed this to be transferred to other cars yet, or ever.

Tesla can only remove FSD if you trade in the car to them and they resell it. Otherwise FSD goes with the car (if purchased, not subscribed to).

As far as I know, if a car does not have FSD, then FSD does not appear on the displays, grayed out, or otherwise. However, currently, Tesla has disabled requesting the City Streets FSD beta due to the recent NHTSA recall effort. That does gray out the button to request FSD beta for now. But, if the car does not have FSD, that button should not appear.

So, it's likely that the car does have FSD. The sure way to tell is to simply go to the software page on the car's display and see if it states that FSD in an "included package". If it states that, then FSD was purchased for the car. If it has an expiration date, then FSD was subscribed. Ignore anything about having an FSD computer. Virtually Tesla's have that.
