Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

Does Tesla still do the thing where every car is outfitted with all the cameras/sensors, and if you DONT buy the self driving when you purchase it, they are disabled and can never be enabled again after the fact?

Meaning they spend all the money putting these cameras/sensors in the car, but completely make them useless if you don't drop the cash on purchase day? and if you resell it, there's no option for the new owner to enable them?

2023 Model3 owner here. I am pretty sure you got lied to. I did not and will not buy the self driving feature, nor will I rent it. The car works just fine with all the cameras regardless. As far as I know, if I change my mind I can buy or rent FSD. I'm sure Elon still wants my money - I just don't want my car to drive itself yet and it's a huge expense. The cameras still work for traffic, sentry mode, etc.
