Man buys used Tesla with autopilot. Tesla remotely disables autopilot: "not a feature that you had paid for"
A fellow identified as Alec in this Verge story bought a Tesla at an auction, which was advertised as having "Enhanced Autopilot" and "Full Self Driving Mode." Soon after Alec…

Tesla has recent identified instances of customers being incorrectly configured for Autopilot versions that they did not pay for. Since, there was an audit done to correct these instances. Your vehicle is one of the vehicles that was incorrectly configured for Autopilot. We looked back at your purchase history and unfortunately Full-Self Driving was not a feature that you had paid for. We apologize for the confusion. If you are still interested in having those additional features we can begin the process to purchase the upgrade.
If they can do this now I worry when it actually becomes the norm and it gets hacked.
Moved from OT.
