The real kicker is that before Taleb brought it to light, Tesla support was telling people who accidentally purchased the Autopilot feature that "sorry, we can't undo the purchase/the feature is added, and it's permanent".



And like that debacle, maybe what's about to happen is Elon is realizing what an ongoing PR disaster this is going to be, with the number of used Teslas going up every day. Any moment, perhaps, he will tweet a policy change.


It's probably accurate in that they (Tesla support) can't/aren't allowed to undo the purchase.


"Can't" does not mean the same thing as "it's against policy."

"Permanent" does not mean the same thing as "we can reverse this at whim, but only when it suits us and not you."
