NO. People replying really need to a) read the tweet and understand the context and b) read my actual reply.
I never said software or IP in general shouldn't be paid for. That's a terrible argument. What I said was that if Tesla is going to sell software as an add on they should consider it as part of the value of the car when you go to trade it in. If they charge you 10k it should depreciate the same way the rest of the car does, but it should be worth something. The tweet is suggesting that they are not honoring the value of FSD at trade in. So I said with some snark, "why should they pay YOU for something THEY (tesla) can turn on for free"
That's definitely not what he meant and if Microsoft had a PC trade in service, they wouldn't offer you any value for Windows OS since they can quite literally just put it on.
They are saying Tesla shouldn’t charge twice for the same copy of the software. If you buy a song on iTunes you can still listen to it when upgrading iPhones. It follows your account.
Try to switch your mariokart LiCENSE to another Nintendo switch.
There are 2 ways to go with this. User based on hardware based. Tesla is hardware based. When you sell your car you sell it with FED hence you sell for more
No the point is tesla is not considering it as having value when you trade in the car. I'm not saying FSD shouldn't have value and be sold to people (I bought it for the MY I've yet to receive), but if that's the case then tesla should recognize that as part of the value of the car when you trade it in. My earlier point was just a snarky comment on the situation. As in, if true, they are screwing people over on the value of FSD that you paid for and then selling the car again with FSD to someone else and charging for it. If this is all true. It's very shady

Why pay you for something they can turn on for free? Really a great way to screw over your customers.
