Idea : EAP Fire Sale?

[exxxviii]

With all these incentives-upon-incentives for new buyers. Non-owners. I think Tesla should cut the price of EAP for a year-end sale. They should show its existing, loyal customers some love. I think $1,000 is appropriate. That seems fair.

I bet Tesla would bet far more margin from a fire sale of EAP and FSD than the 3/Y incentives.

Alternate idea, to give new buyers a break while not affecting revenue they should have given EAP for free instead of giving a 7,500 discount. Keep the customers and the shareholders happy.

Considering most of EAP is non-functional for new buyers (who don’t have USS), even $1000 sounds high.

This is truth. When Tesla decided to delete USS before having the Vision software ready, they should have at least given those cars free EAP as a good faith gesture.

Yup. Just like when they removed radar. My car was one of the first batch of no radar cars and TACC and AP were horrible for about 8 months before they got it to a fairly functional level. We didn't get any compensation for this debacle, so I wouldn't expect USS-less cars to be compensated in any way.

Totally agree with this.

You can dream all you want but Elon is out to make money.

I have not tried most of EAP functions even though I rented a M3P with FSD (no beta though) earlier this year. Based on what I know, EAP is close to worthless as far as functionalities go. Even so, I might actually buy it if it was say $2000 or less. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Tesla would make a ton more money on EAP purchases if it was $2000 versus $6000. I would not even begin to consider it at $6k, but might part with $2k for it. Based on comments on these forums, it seems that many won't consider it at $6k either, but would at a lower price.

Yeah, the only EAP feature I remotely want is auto lane change, because the basic lane keep assist is the worst of any car on the market without it. But that one design fix is not worth $6K USD.

You got that backwards, the only parts of FSD that actually work reliably are included in EAP. I do agree that those functions are not worth $6,000 though. The only EAP function I would really care about is auto lane change, and most other manufacturers include that function with their basic self driving tech... sure isn't worth $6,000 for me.

Truth be told all I want from EAP or FSD is the Auto Lane Change feature. I’d pay up $1k to buy it Al a carte.
