That is one example, yes. Right or not the feature was working when the used car was purchased by the second owner. He thought he was paying for the feature because, well he did, it was in a working used car.

That also points to my argument about paying for hardware to support a function that isn't "switched on", basically a $7,000 bit flip.

There have been other anecdotal issues such as some Model 3 owners claiming their car's performance dropped after on OTA upgrade right before the "performance model" was released, bloatware, etc.

Hey, if Tesla owners are happy with this stuff, then good for them. I'm not, nor do I plan to be, an owner so really I'm voting with my dollars.
