The question would be at that point, if you recall your previously owned car, are you stealing it?

Come to think of it, if Tesla does get through with autonomous drive, then think of the repercussions if you miss a payment - the car goes back to Tesla pending payment.

Now we get into morality issues territory: does the car have consciousness? Does it get attached to an owner? Is it morally okay to ever sell it?

Eastern Europeans specifically look for totalled cars. I am amazed when I talk to them and they prefer a wrecked car for more money vs a cheaper car in good condition. I tell them they need to have their heads examined, they call me a moron American

I am Eastern European and I guess it's about the pride of fixing the car and making it your own. A car is a much bigger status symbol over there than in the US. Proof - highest density of Mercedes vehicles per capita in the world is in a random town in Croatia: In the Mercedes-Benz star-studded village.

Fun fact: all the diesels banned in Germany are massively being sold in Eastern Europe these days.

My God! You make me sound like a guy who abandoned his child on the side of the road after they got injured. Now I'm going to have guilt for the rest of my life

I would want it off my account just to mitigate any potential liability exposure, even if it is very slight.
