Is it possible to buy a SR model WITH AP? I don't care for FSD right now, but really like the AP feature. Am I forced to go SR+ if I want AP?
You can add AP to an SR, I think it's $3000 though

Yes. You can order the SR+ online, then call Tesla and ask for a SR but tell them to add autopilot back to it. That will give you a $38,000 car vs a $39,900 SR+ and you’ll be able to finance the whole amount vs having to come up with an additional $3K in cash.
Do you know if there has been any successful upgrades from SR to SR+ in terms of software? If I recall correctly, they remove the ability to turn on heated seats in the back, the range is locked, and physically some speakers aren't installed. Can you get those heated seats and range back at a later date? If so, at what cost?
There should be a simple image that lays all of this out.

The SR+ does not have heated rear seats either. Nor does it have any more speakers activated.
The range is software locked for the last 20 miles.
I thought I read somewhere that Elon confirmed the SR+ was getting heated rear seats sometime in December.
This thread seems to indicate that the hardware is definitely there for it:
SR+ Access To Rear Heated Seats
I agree. When do you want the full range? On road trips, when you're supercharging.
When do you quit a supercharging session? When the charge rate drops-off (e.g. as soon as possible after 50% SOC).
But on the SR, that should be at 60% instead. So it's an SR, but you can roadtrip like it's an SR+.
(But yes, there are times when you really do want all the range!)
I think an SR may also fetch more at resale (relative to MSRP) because the battery has been babied (by having 10% more capacity locked-out). The new owner could add AP and have confidence that the battery is in better shape than a typical SR+ with the same miles... maybe much better shape.
Since Tesla advertises that SR is capped at 220 miles, I had also hoped that SR would maintain 220 miles, even as the battery degrades. This would be huge, since every other Tesla loses range within weeks. But it sounds like SRs are showing <220 miles range after some use... bummer!

30 miles range for 2k is huge. You do know car gets old and they lose 5-10% right? Resale value too.
