    Will EAP ever be different from FSD?

    I ordered my Model 3 with EAP in November 2018, and took delivery in December, during the downtime while Tesla was trying to figure out how to repackage and price AP. I missed the first fire sale for $2k upgrade to FSD when they first relaunched it, definitely didn't purchase the upgrade when it...

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    That is could lose a solid third of it's value in well under a year of ownership,

    Latest Price Drop Discussion

    Elon has explicitly said Teslas will become an appreciating asset. I experienced the same $10k drop in value a couple months after my delivery as OP. It's a radical paradigm shift that I was actively led to believe would not occur. From the beginning, the revolutionary thing was that since Tesla...

    Tesla Owners That Hog Supercharger Spaces

    I plugged in at a Supercharger location once and when I pressed the cable button to open my charge port cover, two more Teslas parked a few spots away that were not plugged in opened their covers as well. Unless something changed, you should be able to plug in a locked Tesla to a Tesla charger...

    Autopilot nearly allows side collision on highway

    I had the settings to the max when I first started driving, and then brought it down one level after I got annoyed by the excessive early warnings. In any case, you're fixating on the wrong part. Disregard "frequently". The point is, without any automation engaged, my car is still constantly...

    Autopilot nearly allows side collision on highway

    There is no FSD yet, technically, just the promise of access to it in the future. EAP is a stop gap Tesla developed after they thought the promise of FSD was "too confusing" and removed it as an option last October. But then they decided it wasn't too confusing after all and went to including AP...

    Autopilot nearly allows side collision on highway

    Because the programming is all written by the same company for one product, and as we're learning from Boeing, safety is not supposed to be an add-on option. My car alerts me frequently when I'm driving with no automation when it thinks I'm not slowing down fast enough to avoid the car in front...

    Autopilot nearly allows side collision on highway

    It seems like I ticked all the boxes for that to work, It was a beautiful clear evening, with a well lit road without even any direct sun glare, as it was late in the evening. Travelling on a very well striped highway at reasonable highway speeds (definitely not close to or over 85 mph). It's...

    How many EAP owners would pay for the 3.0 FSD computer at what price?

    I don't understand why they can't at least keep the 2k option open for EAP purchasers. I was out of town travelling at the time the announcement was made, and didn't have 2k I was willing to drop on a whim after still recovering from my down payment just a few months earlier. If I didn't pay 2k...

    Autopilot nearly allows side collision on highway

    On the drive home after work, I had AP engaged in my Model 3 (EAP on HW2.5). After confirming a lane change to the right to get around a slower semi, I passed it, while the other traffic passing on the semi's left maintained about the same relative position to me. The tan Honda which passed me...

    Buy now or wait?

    No, I'm complaing about the $4k overnight depreciation I experienced, which I could overlook if they weren't still asking another $6k for FSD after I already paid $5k for EAP. As it stands right now, the exact spec of car I bought can be had for $4k less than what I paid, plus, it comes with HW3...

    Buy now or wait?

    The price will definitely go down, and they seem intent on keeping the price minus tax credit equation level. Just after the $7,500 credit got cut in half, my exact build decreased in cost by $4k. Plus, since FSD is an option again, the $5k I threw at "Enhanced" Autopilot can now be put into...

    Buy now or wait?

    They're dropping the car price to stay with the tax credit though. My exact build dropped by $4k, and is also effectively upgraded to FSD since I only had the option to get "Enhanced" Autopilot when I ordered last November. So even though you lose $3750 in tax incentive, I actually would have...

    Buy now or wait?

    If you don't need to buy now, I'd definitely *definitely* suggest waiting. My exact build dropped by $4k just a couple months after delivery, it seems Tesla is trying to keep up with the drop in possible savings from the tax credit, so you won't actually lose out on anything from the bottom line...
