    Calling it Full Self Driving is fraud, anyways.

    I don’t think licenses and/or subscriptions should be allowable on cars. Selling the car means it might not transfer and there’s little way to ensure it has the software you need.

      There have been subscriptions for navigational systems for a long time. It makes sense to me that software that needs constant updates or has stuff run server-side would be licensed. Unlocking hardware features not so much. I don’t see heated seats getting a lot of updates.

        Stupid argument, but let’s bite and say yes. You put a mic in my house unlawfully and I discover said mic? I’m keeping the mic.

          I’d agree with your claim of it being fraudulent if you’d paid for FSD and didn’t live up to what you expect FSD to be. But in this case you didn’t pay for the feature so nothing was promised to you that wasn’t delivered on.

          To use your microphone analogy: someone is claiming to sell high-end audiophile-grade microphones, you think they are actually shit quality and that somehow gives you the right to steal one.
