I read it as the second owner would have to pay for it themselves to (re)unlock it. So Tesla would get paid twice for the feature in one car.

It is a monthly subscription. I am not sure what the problem is? the new owner can choose to pay it or not.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I must have misunderstood, because I know you have to pay $12,000-15,000 (seems the price has lowered) for the FSD to be available, then pay subscription on top of that. For some reason I thought they were saying the initial $12k+ “unlock” wouldn’t transfer.

You either pay for FSD via a monthly subscription OR the full price. So it's either $200/mo or $12,000. It's not both. The subscription option gives you an option to try it before purchasing, or to add and remove it when you want, like for long road trips or something like that.

It's just two different options for people to pick from.

Thank you very much for clarifying. It makes sense if a subscription is not transferred but if someone does the outright payment that should be transferred. Asshole move if the one time unlock isn’t.

AFAIK the one time unlock stays with the car.
