So I just purchased a used Model 3 from a private sale that I'm scheduled to pickup this weekend. It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get the Tesla account transferred into my name in time for pickup. It's not a huge deal, as he's just going to give me access to his account for now so that we can swap credit cards and I can use SC on the way home. Now, he doesn't have FSD or even any sort of Enhanced Autopilot on this car, so this is something I was planning on purchasing. I really would like to have it for the trip home since it's a long 10 hour drive, so the plan was, since I'm adding my credit card to his account, I could just buy it right then, and hopefully I'd get a quick update to unlock it. But then I read this story that I'm sure you've all heard about, about the guy buying a used Tesla with FSD that they do an audit on and remove the feature after the guy bought it. Is this something I have to worry about since I'd technically be buying it under his name? I know that seems like a silly question, but the details are sparse on that story and I don't know the reasoning for the removal.
And second question: So since there's no Autopilot at all on this car, will the price to unlock FSD still only be $7k? Just want to make sure I'm not going to have any extra hidden costs to get this feature.
