This is, surprisingly, not that unusual for vehicles in high demand. It's to prevent flipping.

GM does it on certain vehicles as well:

(the C8 Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV, and Cadillac Escalade-V if you want to know without clicking the link.)

“ Given the subscription model of much of the software Tesla EVs use, resale can be complicated. The Full Self-Driving feature, which costs up to $199 per month, is not transferable to a new owner, Fast Company reported.”

Just another reason I’m never buying

Hey look, freedom!

[–] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure what you are talking about. I have the freedom to not sign some dumbass agreement with tesla and not purchase a shitty looking cyber truck, and I will use that very freedom. No one is being forced to take this deal.

You have the freedom as long as it stays niche. Having no protections against such practices means they have a chance of becoming so commonplace as to be unavoidable.
