Tesla has remotely disabled driver assistance features on a used Model S after it was sold to a customer, Jalopnik reports. The company now claims that the owner of the car, who purchased it from a third-party dealer — a dealer who bought it at an auction held by Tesla itself — "did not pay" for the features and therefore is not eligible to use them.

Scoop.it!
During the press conference for the release of the Autopilot, Tesla CEO Elon Musk referred to each Model S owners as an “expert trainer” – meaning that each driver will train the autonomous features of the system to feed the collective network intelligence of the fleet by simply driving the electric vehicle on Autopilot. He said that the system should improve every day, but that improvements might only become noticeable every week or so by adding up. Just a few weeks after the release, Model S owners are already taking to the Tesla Motors Club forum to describe how the Autopilot is improving… A common problem with the early version of the system was that it had a tendency to try to take exits on the highway when it wasn’t supposed to, but after a few tugs on the Autopilot’s leash, trainers have corrected the issue.
Philippe J DEWOST's insight:
The car is the network. Model S owners could add ~1 million miles of new data every day, which is helping the company create “high precision maps” according to Elon Musk

You do not own a Tesla. You get a license to use it and need to read the small print to understand what you can do and what you can’t.
You get a license to consent that there is still a two-way tie between the car and the Mothership, made of reporting (miles, behavior, status) and nurturing (updates, content, features).
In a way Tesla owns you.
