Tesla Removing Features...
- Thread starter Qbenjamin
- Start date
The phone to car comparison really need to stop because it's apples and oranges. Apps don't sell an iPhone. FSD sells the Tesla for some.
No they don't need to stop. One is larger than the other, but many of the functions are similar and both have very similar software architectures. That sounds like apples to apples to me. Just because you mistakenly got a software key from a manufacturer, does not mean you should be able to keep in perpetuity. If you are hell bent on keeping the function you never paid for, you should disconnect your car from the Internet instead of continuing to download updates to those features.

I was one of those who got EAP in error on my SR + model purchased in April, 2019. I enjoyed the features, but always expected them to recognize the error and remove them at some point. Then I saw the FSD upgrade lowered to $4000 my Tesla account because the system thought I had paid for EAP. I jumped on the deal the following day… I don't imagine they will pull a feature that I have a paid invoice for.
This thread shows how awful Tesla's record keeping is. It doesn't bother me, they are a startup automaker that is been operating at a breakneck pace since inception. I trust myself to keep better records than they do, so I keep my FSD invoice in a safe place.

This thread was started by someone who sold a Tesla privately and features were removed in error.
Tesla has challenges in this area for sure, but it’s not a conspiracy, or a deliberate attempt to steal from owners.
They make similar errors, and likely more of them, in favor of owners.
It would be nice if the drama wasn’t so thick around these things.
I’ve owned a BMW for years, and when they mess up on these things, I don’t see one thread on their forums. Likely because they don’t get the attention they get here.
Drama writers love and need attention.

In my experience with no proof of purchase Tesla will screw you. I know as I had written proof of a purchase promise and they still said "no" because they decided the person that offer it was "not authorized". This is the kind of Tesla BS you can expect, as if one needs to go to Elon to get approval. Believe me the management there will lie and screw you if they can get away with it and this is why they have their slimy arbitration clause in the sales contract.

Heh- they DID kinda do that for a while-
Read the email Elon Musk sent to Tesla employees calling for 'hardcore' control of expenses
Elon Musk said:
To be fair- you'd have a hard time finding ANY major company that doesn't have the same sort of clause in their sales contracts anymore.
And you DO have the right to opt out within a time period after purchase- just most are too lazy to do it.... (or too lazy to have actually read the contract to realize they have the option)

Not everyone got an email when it was purchased aftermarket. I didn't get one. Yes, I checked my junk mail folder at the time, too.
P.S. Eventually the invoice came available under my Details for the car, on their website. I've since saved that PDF to my hard drive. But I've heard of people than have never seen, that, either. *shrug*

Wow, drama much.
This was an error, and it was corrected.
Many errors in favor of owners occur as well.
Don’t hear anyone saying “Here’s another owner screwing Tesla “ .....
Tesla has improvements needed in this area for sure, but I’ve seen NOTHING here that would confirm it was malicious or intentional.
The only malicious behavior I’ve seen is from the accusations that imply Tesla is purposely screwing people over.
Apple let’s you keep the purchased app forever even when you get a new phone.

Reading is critical. Try the keep up SlimJim, he's talking about something that never was purchased.

You should be able to download your invoice from your Tesla account. I downloaded mine after checking out this thread, it’s under the “details” section of your car.
This is a bit misleading. I purchased a vehicle from Tesla which originally had free SC tied to the VIN (2016 model). Once the vehicle was traded in, the FUSC was removed by Tesla. I didn't really care since I don't use SC's at all, but Tesla does what it wants with previously paid for features once the vehicle is turned in to them.

That's because you bought it from Tesla, I expect some time after the policy change? That's a different thing because it wasn't a direct owner-to-owner sale. Once Tesla comes into ownership (having paid the prior owner for it) they decided to strip that particular value from the vehicle (I don't know when that part of the policy change happened), so you didn't pay for that. However if you'd bought direct from the original owner (or some chain of owners that didn't include Tesla) you would have and would have free SCing.
