Not to have another thread on this topic but I just do not see value in the ability to have traffic light and stop sign control, or auto steer on city streets. EAP is exactly what I would have wanted from FSD so I think this $4k upgrade option makes sense. I cannot think of what they could add to FSD in the future to justify the additional cosT over just upgrading to EAP.

Same here.
Interestingly, I don't see EAP as an option when you configure a new order. Either the site hasn't been updated or they are forcing buyers to choose between paying upfront for FSD (and amortizing the $8K over their lease or loan) and getting the car AP-only, then adding EAP and FSD through the app incrementally (and forking over the $4K and $5K in a lump sum).

I pulled the trigger. More or less what I had on my 3 for FSD so I’m pleased to be able to get it at a reasonable price. NoA and auto passing are great on long highway drives.

Hoping I can Add the EAP to my MY if not i can just add but would be nice to have it on delivery, but still waiting on VIN/Delivery got a 4-11 days txt on thursday
I emailed Tesla finance about adding it in before delivery. They didn’t know and CC’d sales but no reply yet.
My SA advised that it was only an option through Sept 30th. Limited time deal, perhaps?
Makes sense. Similar end of Q2 push happened.
That being said I think we could expect similar things end of the next few quarters.

- Some people choose to buy the option separately from the car purchase so they can use their credit card to get some miles.
- I wonder if the Kelley Blue Book will report such options? A $4,000 or $8,000 option should affect the selling price,
but I doubt that Tesla or any dealer would give you extra money for this software option.

Same with me. I take delivery this week and I currently don’t have an Enhanced Autopilot option.
It's a garbage option.
When I bought my car after the AP price drop, I picked up AP for $3000. It was another $5000 for FSD. Total of 8k.
Earlier, when EAP was around, EAP was $5k, and FSD was a 3k upgrade, total of 8k.
So if I paid 3k for AP, paying 4k more for EAP is 7k total. Not a good deal.
If AP+FSD wasn't worth it last year for 8k, getting EAP for 7k certainly isn't either. Especially when you factor in that it doesn't transfer from your car. So my car has almost 2 years less lifespan on it, which means 2 years less usage.
And that's why FSD got a price drop for the EAP adopters - it didn't make sense for them to pay 5k for EAP and then 5k for FSD (10k total).

There was only the option of FSD, currently 8k. Was 7k earlier for MY but the car price was higher.
EAP now 4K for pretty much all you need from FSD.
I’d feel rooked if I’d bought FSD for 8k now.
