Since all new Tesla's contain the hardware for self driving - why doesn't Tesla treat EAP/FSD as software? For instance, wouldn't it be much better if Tesla tied EAP/FSD with the owner instead of the car?
What if I can go to MyTesla and purchase EAP/FSD and tie the license to my car, when I sell the car I have the decision to transfer it to the new owner or transfer it to my new Tesla.
In the current system, if my Tesla gets totaled and I purchase EAP/FSD after delivery - I am essentially paying $10k for software that I don't own anymore. It's like buying Adobe's Master-Collection and having my computer crash and rebuying the software on my replacement computer. And also I assume insurance wouldn't even cover the cost of EAP/FSD if it is purchased after delivery....am I correct??
And if Tesla is concern that an owner with two cars will constantly transfer EAP/FSD between his/her Tesla's...they can limit that you can only transfer the license once every 30 days.
What do you guys think? Perhaps we can reach out to @JonMc to provide some insight about this.
