I don't disagree that you will likely see an increase in demand once it's more fully developed, I was addressing the claim that there is high demand now. The pricing changes dictate that there isn't.Actually both since there are connected. If they come out with a discount for cars that didn't get it then people who are ordering might decide to NOT buy the option and wait for another sale. Also when city driving with red light/stop sign plus enhanced Summon happens you will see an increase in people who didn't order wanting to add and will see a higher value in it. Of course it's all speculation and Tesla does about anything and everything at times it seems.
I'm actually of the belief that more features will be rolled into the base options of the vehicles, similar to what they did with AP, and the overall cost for most things will drop. The option package would maybe be things like autopark and summon with NoA rolled into the vehicles. Their ultimate goal is more autonomous vehicles on the road and they won't get that if they make it a minimum of $50K for a vehicles.
