Tesla lists some inventory used cars as having "Full Self Driving Capability." This suddenly struck me as curious. Why not advertise the car at a lower price without FSD and offer it as an extra cost add-on? Wouldn't it be likely that today's price for FSD is higher than the previous owner paid for it, at least in many cases? Or to put it differently, if they delete it, would they sell the car for so much less that they are better off selling it to people who don't want it?
I thought of this as I searched for a car, and was thinking I would see if Tesla would delete the FSD and lower the price for me. I seem to recall a post or two in which people said that Tesla did that for them.
I suppose that they can charge somewhat more for cars with FSD, but there must be some push-back from buyers who would prefer a lower price rather than the extra feature.
Anyhow, thought it was curious. I assume it is nothing but some sort of software "switch" they can activate or not, so thee is presumably little or no effort to add it or remove it.
What am I missing?
