I'm not sure I'm following you. In this case the car was originally sold with the feature added to it, at least according to the window sticker. The car was then resold at auction by Tesla with that feature active. That, on the surface at least, is different than the feature having been inadvertently given away for free with the original purchase and then removed based on the audit.
Frankly, the "right" thing for Tesla to have done was admit their mistake (assuming there was one) and let the car retain the feature.
If you bought a Corvette, let's say, and Chevrolet inadvertently sold it to you with the Z51 package for a base price because they had stickered it wrong, would you expect Chevrolet to be able to come back later and say "oops, we need those parts back, or another $5,000". Nope, didn't think so.
