Does Tesla generally offer any end of year, discounted upgrades? I've heard mentions of deep discounts for FSD...maybe bring back EAP.
Just curious what's been the track record.

Lately it’s been stuff to match people to existing inventory - things like “free” options to encourage people to take a car that might not be an exact match to what they want, or free supercharging on inventory cars, etc.
End of last quarter saw the brief re-introduction of Enhanced Autopilot for existing owners, but I’d expect no publicized “deep discounts” on FSD as it contradicts Elon’s fantasy narrative that it’s worth increasingly more and more.
if you’re willing to take an inventory car and aren’t super picky about color, wheels, etc. you can probably snag a bit of a deal the latter half of December. That’s generally how it works.

Put a slightly different way, I’d expect the aggressiveness of incentives this quarter to be directly related to how close they are to hitting 500k deliveries for the year. If they think incentives will make the difference, they will go all out.
the only December surprise I want to see is the release of FSD beta to all of use

A return to the V8 interface as an option to preserve eMMC life (map only in use when the driver wants/needs it) would be nice.
Will it happen? Hell no.

If, in V11, the always-on map is off by default and/or can be turned off, it should be an improvement over V9/V10 for MCU1 owners.
Not holding my breath, however.

i guess I’m curious if v11 will come out for MCU/1 considering it is EOL.
Maybe v11 is yet another reason to move to MCU/2.

I don’t think it’s lame. My reasoning might be considered lame though, the reason I want free supercharging is because then it kinda even out with having to wait for the car to charge.
It’s like yeah I gotta wait 30 minutes to charge but at least it’s free, but now if it costs nearly the same as an ice car then there’s no reason to use it for road trips.
I'm hoping with Plaid they'll have free supercharging. Not like the sales of the Plaid will be huge, especially compared to the 3/Y.
That’s the biggest thing for me too. It’s less convenient, but it’s free, so it offsets itself. Dealing with the time and the inconvenience while paying is a drag.

You could always just pretend you’re getting it for free since the most recent removal of free supercharging reduced the price of the car $3,000.
It was never free, you just prepaid.
For me. I just bought a used one and the 4 year warranty was what got me to buy. If they had only 1 year like they do this month, I don't think I would have bought. $80,000+ for a car with 1 year warranty, would be a no go.

Hmmm, I was thinking more like the MX Easter egg of a few years back. Not something that the customer would actually want, of course.
I get that, but I’d still be spending money at the super charging station. It’s kind of like when you buy an annual pass somewhere. The cost is sunk, the more you use it the better the value...you’re inclined to use it as much as you can.
Quite the opposite with the mental head game - you’re inclined NOT to use it to try and “get over” on the guy who gave you a discount instead to prove to yourself you saved even more money.
