This is coming from someone who initially thought EAP wasn't worth the extra $5K, signed up for the first 14 day trial, tried it out for 10 days, examining the limitations, then decided it was worth it to pay the extra $500 "penalty" to keep it.Right, but conversely, they may lose money by letting some people "cheap-out" and buy just TACC instead of requiring them to pay for the more expensive package to get TACC.
Tesla should continue to offer EAP as a trial. It may get fence-sitters to buy in after living with the system for several days. Tesla would not really "lose money" if they did start unbundling pieces of EAP by offering TACC as a separate, stand-alone option. They would "lose LESS money" if they did it this way because the hardware in already in all of the cars. If someone thinks $7K is too much for the entire EAP package and would NEVER pay that much, but is willing to pay $3K for TACC, then Tesla has earned more money then they would have.
