It's going to be more complicated than that. They will absolutely try to mitigate by downselling to Enhanced Autopilot, which gets more usage (I think). Depending on when you purchased FSD, that will yield somewhere between a $0 and $9,000 refund.
However, the Enhanced Autopilot option was removed in 2019 and came back last year. I think this was done to juice the sales count. If the DoJ agrees, then Tesla might have to honor EAP's 2019 purchase price. This would make the minimum refund something like $3500.
Either way, this would be a blow to Tesla and will definitely worsen the layoffening.
