Tin foil hat time-
After some thinking, and some late night crying because Elon said absolutely zip about EAP/FSD at the Model 3 reveal, I've come to accept that Tesla is very far away from an FSD release. Here's why:
Think for a moment about the features that EAP promises vs the features that FSD promises. Disregard what is "likely" or "over-hyped", but just read the feature descriptions of each package on Tesla's website. Ask yourself which set of features would bring more true value to the owner in terms of benefit for the cost.
Then, notice that EAP is $5k, and FSD is $3k. FSD promises significantly more benefits for the driver, yet it is 60% of the cost of EAP?
Granted, you have to buy EAP to get FSD, but the pricing doesn't seem to make sense when matched up against potential features.
I believe this is a clear signal that FSD is a pipe dream and that they're over charging for EAP. If both actually existed, they'd likely price EAP at $3k and FSD at $5k.
