It has not worked well for me for the past 5 years. It decides when it wants to do autopark which it doesn't want to most of the time. When it does, it's just too slow and it would create road rage.
Autopark is awful, may work once out of one hundred attempts. In six years of ownership and having every model, that one feature is abysmal across the fleet.

This is really interesting! I used to have FSD, and each of these things was fun to play with when it was just part of the package that came with my car.
But, as I consider the idea of paying $6000 for it, most of these things are really not worth having. Parking, summon, and smart summon are mostly just party tricks. Navigate on auto pilot and automatic lane change are more interesting, but with my new M3, I am getting used to not having them.
Two grand, maybe, but not six.

This is all I'd want as well. Normally I'm not a fan of piecemeal but in this case it makes sense.
It’s just too much money. Tesla really needs to make the license follow a person and not a vehicle. Would even help towards Elon’s perfect world of everyone just sharing cars…you get the features you paid for regardless of the car you’re in.
You arent buying a license, you are paying a one time fee for an ongoing service as long as you own the car. Tesla needs to maintain their processing infrastructure and data analytics to make it all work at the end of the day.
I'm sure the actuaries calculated the business cost with average length of ownership to come to their price point.
The "limited" Enhanced Auto Pilot features are the only functional & reliable Full Self Driving features. I'm a FSD owner and would have purchased it again just for auto lane change and navigate on auto pilot, but with enhanced autopilot back on the table would recommend that... Unless there's no upgrade path to FSD and it'll require the full 12k purchase.

The only feature I want is Auto Lane Change. Sell that at a fair price and Tesla will rake in a ton of money that is sitting on the sidelines. The hardware is in the car not earning any money for Tesla. Come on Elon, let us buy some of these features ala cart.
My theory is the only reason we're seeing Enhanced Auto Pilot offered as an option again, is that the $12K FSD is not selling as well as Tesla needs it to sell. Personally I wouldn't pay any real amount of money for either until they can get normal Autopilot to function reliably without phantom braking.
Auto Lane Change should be free with the car, and FSD should be $5,000.
I would probably be somewhat interested in subscription of say $50-100 for Navigating on Autopilot and lane Change.
$6k assuming keeping Tesla for 5 years, comes to $100 a month.
I use autopilot once or twice a week so say 6-8 times a month. on the trip I would change lanes 3-4 times. So say 30 times.
So every time I change lane it will cost me $3. Is it worth it? Who knows.

Other companies like Honda, Toyota disengage lane assist when you hit the blinker, as soon as you moved to new lane it engages back on.
I would be happy with that, no need for MY to do lane change for me.
