Someone bought a second hand Tesla Model S that had been upgraded with the Autopilot feature. Autopilot had been included in the advertisement and the second hand sale price.

After the sale Tesla remotely disabled the feature, telling the new owner that it had ‘not been paid for’.

Raises questions over just what the owner has bought, what he has a right to sell, and what control manufacturers have retain when they can remotely disable features on previously sold cars.
