This statement is misleading as is evident by the top replies.
He, as many Tesla employees do, got FSD for free from Tesla. He still owns the free FSD after being fired, which as it being an employee perk already seems strange to me.
FSD beta is a closed beta only for people in the top ~1% safety scores and can be revoked for any reason (as has been done for reckless drivers). I assume another Tesla tester perk (he was employed as an FSD tester after all) is getting into the beta program regardless of your safety score. Revoking that employee-privilege after firing is not taking something he owns.
AFAIK Tesla has never taken unlocked addons such as FSD away from cars that were paid for.
Only when that car was purchased back by Tesla. Private or third party sales transfer the FSD license to the new owner.
There was a highly publicized case where they got this wrong. Tesla sold the car at auction to a dealer with FSD still active, then disabled it later after the sale. They reversed this and as far as I know it is not the norm.
Stop spreading FUD. This isn't happening, there was a case that was overblown and rectified. This just doesn't happen. FSD goes with the car on private sales.
Overblown? If you buy something and the seller sends you the wrong item you have the legal right to keep it. In a normal world if that seller steals back that item, he is guilty of theft. It doesn't matter if he "rectified" the issue.
