Early M3 buyer - FSD vs enhanced autopilot

[Flexbomb]

Hey all,

This seems to be confusing me but as a early buyer of the M3, we had “enhanced autopilot”. Obviously that is no more, but where does that start and end?

summon? Smart summon? Navigate on autopilot?

I can live without smart summon but quite like navigate on autopilot.

I'm not sure if this is legit, I googled it:
Can anyone verify?

Thats right. My 2017 model S with EAP has gotten Smart summon, auto lane change and navigate on autopilot.

Yup, that's accurate. Only real reason to upgrade to FSD is you get the new AP computer/hardware and maybe FSD functionality that is useful. But EAP includes 99% of FSD today, and probably 90% of what FSD will do in the near future. When the FSD upgrade was on sale for 2600 last year it was arguably a good value to upgrade from EAP, today not so much IMHO.

At this time, basically the same thing other then the computer and missing some of the visualizations.

I have a 2016 model s with ap and a 2020 model 3 withfsd.

From a day to day experience, both highway and local, I would say the experience is negligible. FSD renders more graphic and does some fancier things on the highway. But it ain't worth 10k upfront if you ask me.

That said, if Elon keeps his promise and it becomes much more, I would be different.

Agreed - when the upgrade from EAP to FSD was CDN$2,600 that was probably a "good deal" to get you the upgrade hardware and traffic light / stop light recognition and city FSD - at CDN$4,000, I am less inclined to jump on it.

I bought the $2600 upgrade.

Worth every penny (or i guess.. Nickel).

I LOVE seeing all the driving visualizations. And $2600 for a computer that is 20x faster. Very good deal.

I also noticed an improvement to AP after the upgrade.

I considered upgrading from EAP to FSD, only for the computer. but it's a Gen1 computer, so maybe I'll wait until they're at GEN2 or 3?
