FSD Upgrade Price reduced from $5K to $3K in MyTesla Page for Model S

[KyleDay]

That's for my 2016 HW2.0 car. Has been $5K all day even after Model 3 owners have been saying they've been seeing FSD price reductions since yesterday. Looks like existing owners can now buy FSD for $3K too I guess.

Now the question is....should I do it? I'm inclined to wait until actual hardware upgrades for APE3.0 are actually available to retrofit later this year (if in fact that does happen this year). Elon time is always so squirrely.

Just noticed the same thing. I'm not yet inclined to give Tesla more money on a future promise.

Same boat. I'm still not willing to throw down any money until something - either HW3 showing real improvements or true FSD features - materialises.

Short summary if I understand correctly: existing customers who stuck with the company got hosed. If you are new, you are getting at least a $3000 discount on the whole package compared to people who purchased in advance a long time ago, i.e. it is $5000 for new users today vs. at least $8000 for existing users.

No, I just checked and the option to get FSD on my car went from $6600 cad to $4000 Cad current owners are getting a discount, the question is will it be worth the cost

Did you really expect them to return money to you?

Enjoy the Early Access Program!

Apparently it’s $2k now.

At the rate the Model 3 hordes are bitching, might be free by morning.

What I meant was that if you were an early adopter, you needed to pay $5000 for EAP plus $3000 for FSD, and you had to support / survive an extremely troubled development process. Now they are dumping it out to new users for $2000 + $3000 for the same package.

Don't waste your money. They will have a fire sale again by the time this is ready.

It sounds to me like new cars are being delivered with HW3 and thus being given FSD for free with the purchase of AP, while current owners without FSD are paying $3k to get HW3 installed.

This whole thing reeks of a poorly executed pre-bankruptcy cash grab.

Hilarious and I agree!

Now Tesla needs to refund $1K to everyone who paid the last few hours.

This whole thing is insane, I don't even know what's going on anymore with Tesla.

Should take about 5 months based on their deposit refund history.

Currently showing as £2,900 in the UK down from £4,700 so interested to see if it comes down lower if $2K is to be the price when they sort the systems in the US

I am one of those suckers who bought FSD.

So does the early access program that we will get the HW3 Retrofitted ASAP, a d test real FSD features or does it mean that we will get normal firmware updates perhaps a week before everyone else?

I'm guessing this means that new cars are equipped with HW3.

The most obvious reason why people with EAP would need to pay $2k extra for FSD while new cars get it for $5K is that old vehicles need to have HW 2.0 and 2.5 replaced with 3.0 while new cars already have it inside...

I don't think you are in the worst group if you paid for FSD upfront. Here's my ranking...

1) Paid $6k for EAP after delivery and then $4k for FSD after delivery
2) Paid $6k for EAP after delivery and now $2k for FSD after delivery (me... ugh...)
3) Paid $8k upfront for FSD... At least you're getting early access for whatever that's worth.

Overall, i'm happy with the change since everyone is getting something. Not sure if anyone has any real reason to be upset...

They really should discount the upgrade from 60 to 75kWh battery pack as well. With the 100D being so cheap, the resale vale of the 60s will suffer greatly.

Hi friends! Being that my HW2 Dec 2016 Model X (vin in the low 30Ks) has hit about 42K miles, I've been thinking about whether I'll be throwing down extra cash for the extended 4 year/50K mile warranty. Though I absolutely love my car, possibly the only criticism I have is that I don't believe HW2 has yet reached parity with HW1. Now with the FSD price decrease, I'm seriously considering going all-in, which would be to buy the extended warranty as well as the FSD package in one go. The alternatives would be to (1) do the most financially practical thing and not upgrade anything, just drive the X into the ground the next few years, or (2) trade the X in for a new X prior to the current warranty expiration. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
