> I can't think of a precedent for this

Autopilot 1.0 was the precedent.

They announced that at the 'D' event that all cars shipping from then on would have AP hardware in.

The capabilities were progressively rolled out depending on the tech package you purchased over the next 12 months.



But new buyers weren't getting less than previous buyers, they just weren't getting everything at the time of purchase. That's actually pretty common.

This is a clear "temporary" downgrade of capabilities in exchange for a later payoff.
