Except when you buy a used car with already paid fsd by the previous owner.

Only when that car was purchased back by Tesla. Private or third party sales transfer the FSD license to the new owner.

There was a highly publicized case where they got this wrong. Tesla sold the car at auction to a dealer with FSD still active, then disabled it later after the sale. They reversed this and as far as I know it is not the norm.

Stop spreading FUD. This isn't happening, there was a case that was overblown and rectified. This just doesn't happen. FSD goes with the car on private sales.

Overblown? If you buy something and the seller sends you the wrong item you have the legal right to keep it. In a normal world if that seller steals back that item, he is guilty of theft. It doesn't matter if he "rectified" the issue.
