REJECT Fascism
You may want to keep quiet about it. It looks like there are some customers who are receiving a car that had previously been assigned to a different customer. The previous customer had EAP on their order, and it stayed with the vehicle. Tesla may revoke it at some point, but until then enjoy it while it lasts (this is a theory of course, and may be incorrect).
I would like a refund on my EAP since others are getting it for free.

Quoting my own post... Heh.
Well I finally gave up trying to get anyone at Tesla to respond and just filed a dispute on my credit card. Maybe that will get their attention?

I’m still on the fence buying EAP or not before delivery.
Is there a thread or resource that cites the haves and have nots with and without EAP?
Lane departure? The sensors that see all the cars are still working on screen?
Honestly, it’s a real shame that safety features aren’t standard without EAP...

I would like to justify spending the $5k.

The safety features *are* standard without EAP. Lane departure warning and the little cars on the screen work without it as well.

If I were to do it again, I would have bought it right away- if you do any amount of highway driving it's amazing.

Thank you! Yes, I stand corrected!

I also read on a reddit forum that side collision is there too.
Do you think BSM will be standard? Or is it already?
Now just need adaptive cruise to be standard...

I caved at the last minute and added it before delivery. I'm not on highways that much, but it's nice even on surface roads when you hit heavy traffic.
Good move. If one were to ever contemplate getting EAP AT ANY POINT during the cars ownership, just get it up front.
Less money, and you can finance it at a low interest rate. Silly to slap 6000/7000 on a credit card with a 20% APR and 30 day grace period.

It should be. However, it's currently not terribly useful or reliable. Shoulder looks (and correctly adjusted side mirrors) are still required IMO.

It's working pretty well for me with V9 (42.3). Yesterday while on AP, I told the car to switch lanes, and it detected cars coming up fast in the lane I want to change to. It detected this situation and aborted the lane change 3 times with 3 different cars (people don't like to let other people switch into the lane in front of them). At this point I canceled AP, and just hit the accelerator pedal and merged into traffic myself.
I find myself canceling EAP often for this very reason. Atl drivers are too jaded and agressive to let text book driving merge lanes. That being said, heavy traffic and interstate travel when I know I'm just going to cruise for a while is where EAP shines.
You know Tesla will have sales in the future on this. There will be quarter that Tesla needs cash and will use this as a quick cash grab.
