FSD in an old vehicle like this doesn’t even do anything. It’s a placeholder feature, you would never know if it was on or not, there’s zero customer facing features in the fsd package on -older- vehicles.

Newer vehicles, yes, FSD package has features.

I mean the hardware to run photoshop is in your computer, so I guess Adobe should just give it away?

The hardware runs the passive safety features of the car includes as standard in all vehicles. Forward collision warning, lane departure, emergency braking. It’s not a matter of the autopilot computer only being used for autopilot

Tesla has a bunch of certified body shops and they have the correct software to diagnose and modify the vehicle...check your receipts.

Same for bmw, and all other exotic cars. Hell even Apple.

Here’s the inside scoop - older vehicles used to be much easier to enable autopilot and other paid features, so many places online sold much cheaper upgrades to autopilot and FSD. Tesla has a record of all purchases and the factory state of the vehicle. If the software has been illegally activated they are within their rights to disable the upgrade. This has nothing to do with the license being tied to a person, free supercharging is the only thing tied to a user.

Think of it as buying a concert ticket - you get to the venue and they tell you it’s counterfeit. Do you blame the venue or the seller? If they had bought the vehicle from Tesla it would have been a very different story.

And for the uninformed folks having a cry about disabled supercharging on salvage titles. Supercharging is automatically disabled on all cars when a serious collision is detected. This is to prevent a rapid and massive o rush of charging current flowing into potentially damaged batteries or HV wiring. Supercharging is a massive amount of energy dumped into the vehicle at once, hundreds times more than a regular home outlet, if something is wrong in the car it could start a fire. The majority of salvage titles have had an airbag deployment and this is one of the triggers for disabling supercharging, salvage title or not. Service will inspect the vehicle and if satisfied of the safety will enable charging again. I think it’s a brilliant feature, and very safely focused.
