Owner Bartosz Hernas filed formal complaint with TTJA citing theft of paid feature (€6,200 + VAT) including Traffic Light Aware Cruise Control.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Background==<br /> In April 2026 Tesla introduced a local software patch (2026.8.6) to detect and respond to unauthorized third-party CAN bus devices. Some owners reported that Tesla performed server-side revocation of paid FSD entitlements even on vehicles that had never installed the update.<br /> <br /> ==Incident==<br /> On 9–10 April 2026 Estonian owner '''Bartosz Hernas''' had his paid Full Self-Driving package permanently revoked. <br /> <br /> - Vehicle: Tesla Model Y (purchased 2 May 2025 for €68,100 incl. VAT) <br /> <br /> - FSD package cost: €6,200 + VAT <br /> <br /> - The car remained on software version '''2026.8.3''' (never installed 2026.8.6) <br /> <br /> - After detecting a third-party CAN bus device, Tesla performed a '''server-side modification''' that removed the FSD entitlement from Tesla's backend systems. <br /> <br /> - In-vehicle notification: &quot;Your Autopilot package has returned to its original configuration.&quot; <br /> <br /> - Later app message: &quot;Your vehicle has detected an unauthorized third-party device. As a precaution, some driver assistance functions have been disabled for safety reasons.&quot; <br /> <br /> - Traffic Light Aware Cruise Control (a currently available, paid-for feature) became permanently inaccessible.<br /> <br /> ===Tesla's response===<br /> Tesla has not issued a public statement on this specific complaint. Its standard warning states that unauthorized modifications may result in permanent loss of features and voided warranty.<br /> <br /> ==Lawsuit==<br /> No court lawsuit filed. Formal administrative complaint submitted to the Estonian Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (**TTJA**) on 10 April 2026. The complainant requests investigation, restoration of the FSD entitlement (or full €6,200 + VAT refund), and EU-wide coordination.<br /> <br /> ==Consumer response==<br /> The case has been publicly shared by Bartosz Hernas on X and is cited by right-to-repair advocates as a clear example of manufacturer overreach. The complaint explicitly links Tesla's remote revocation of paid features to violations of EU consumer law (Directives 2019/771, 2005/29, 93/13) and supports the broader **Right to Repair** movement.<br /> <br /> Key voices mentioned:<br /> *MEP René Repasi (@repasi) – rapporteur for the EU Right to Repair Directive<br /> *Louis Rossmann (@rossmannsupply)<br /> *Right to Repair Europe coalition (@R2REurope)<br /> *BEUC (@BEUC), iFixit, The Restart Project (@restartproject)<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> *Original X post by Bartosz Hernas (full complaint text): https://x.com/bartosz/status/2042609538688278896<br /> *Screenshots of notifications and purchase details included in the complaint</div>
