EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?
- Thread starter dandrewk
- Start date
Ohh ok thanks for letting me know
hmm that’s interesting
Expensive...
might as well just buy FSD
When I purchased ap, I was hoping Tesla would release eap to all basic ap users down the road... maybe as a Christmas gift someday...
looks like that won’t be happening any time soon lol

...which also requires you have Autopilot.
The real advantage to people for EAP is it gives you most of the current FSD capability without spending US$8K today.

It's not a bad idea to buy the EAP, since FSD has been on sale before. Last time it was only 2k to upgrade to fsd from EAP.
Purchased EAP this afternoon for my 2020 M3P. Most of my miles are on the highway with AP so this was something I was looking forward to when I bought the car in December. I was in the car on LTE and in park when I made the purchase using my phone and as soon as the payment was made my screen shut off and rebooted with the new features. I was impressed how quick it all happened since the confirmation email said WiFi or hotspot will speed up the process. The reboot took about 2 minutes to complete and all the features were enabled and ready to go. Used NoA on the highway this evening and it’s like driving a new car now. No regrets after the first trip and don’t expect that to change.
It says EAP has Navigate on Autopilot on the options

Right, but the person I was responding to asked what “auto lane change” is. So I answered that question, not whatever it is you’re talking about.
Awesome. Still debating but I’m leaning towards getting it...
difference in AP and EAP huge???
Wrong about lane changes being slow. Lane changes are quick, too quick for my wife’s taste. Of course $4000 isn’t cheap and other upgrades are sketchy. Summon works about half the time on both of our cars.

Comparing a capital raise to a revenue boost is a mixed metaphor. They are unrelated.
Anyway, 10,000 people spending $4000 would generate $40 million dollars that would drop almost entirely to the bottom line, which would be pretty significant.
For me, yes. I only tested it out once on the highway so far but this is more like autopilot now with NoA compared to TACC like I had in my previous car. I look forward to more highway driving tomorrow to test it out again
I think this is a cunning move by Tesla. At some point in the next few months V11 software is going to arrive, which is going to require HW3 (in all probability, since the way the nw AI works needs the extra power of HW3). At that point we are dealing with a major fork between pre-HW3 and HW3 cars, so I think the logic is to try to monetize the pre-HW3 cars as much as possible right now by offering EAP (which doesnt need the HW upgrade).
I suspect that @vickh is saying something like "I thought all cars past April of 2019 came with HW 3, but my car purchased in May of 2019 has HW 2.5. Tesla promised me HW 3 and I feel I am entitled to it, even if I dont purchase FSD".
Im just guessing, but suspect that is what they are talking about. Not "I purchased FSD and havent been upgraded yet" which is the question you are answering.

It's a start....... just break up FSD in pieces and make it transfarable (or cheap enough so you just write it off). You want HW3 or HW4, buy it (non-tranferable anyway).
I do not need autopark and summon on the highway (what's the logic? ).

Provided you get a loaner new enough for it to have FSD on it or even just any loaner for that matter.
