Yeah FSD is a joke at this point in time. Unless they significantly overhaul the FSD features, including it as "standard" would just be a price increase with no extra features. Unless you like watching your X slowly crawl through a parking lot with a 50/50 chance of hitting another vehicle.

We've already seen mention of AP3.2 hardware in the code. There's also new Tesla hardware mentioned on the FCC website that is currently confidential. These could just be Bluetooth radios or they could be something else. Hopefully we find out next week.

Has anyone tried adding FSD to their existing order and seeing if the base price goes down 10K.
I can't find the source any more. Probably deleted. And the situation in Europe people mentioned seems to prove it probably won't happen. For other companies like Lucid, their 'Dream Drive' autopilot software is standard on all models. For Tesla, they consider their Autopilot pkg, which is also standard on all of their models, the equivalent of Lucid's Dream Drive, while the FSD option is on a completely different level. But already, it seems, many people and even reviewers get confused when comparing cars and their options.
Did you somehow order a performance version that does not have the Ludicrous Option? I don't see Ludicrous listed in your new order....

When is your delivery scheduled for? If it's before the end of January you may have gotten a reduction because they want to move out current inventory. If your delivery is not until February then I have no clue why you got a price reduction.

I ordered on 1/10/21:

Tesla just updated delivery estimates for new orders on Tesla.com to 6-10 weeks.
I think it is just counting down. It was 7-11 a week ago and 8-12 a week before that. I called my rep and she said it’s more likely to be April even though my account says March 1-31st.

Well, coming up on 5 weeks shutdown and 0 news. Has to be more than a production hold, as the date on my reserved X keeps slipping. Now basically March.
Problems with the refresh? Only thing that scares me now is I get the 'refresh' and it is just like buying a first year model. Even from The Big Guys, that's not the best idea, and being honest, Tesla scares me a little more, as I will be a 'beta tester'. The 2016 X looks like there were lots of reported problems back in the day. New ones seems to have that ironed out. Now we go back to 2016? Hoping not. Have they learned? Were the 3 and Y first ones better?

The 3 and Y definitely had issues with their first production runs. As you said it's a risk with new models from all manufacturers, but especially so from Tesla. They haven't really proven that they can get things right on the first try yet.
Most problems were with FWD's and fit and finish. Ok and the shudder. It’s unlikely there will be any changes to the doors. Most likely changes would be interior, minor exterior and if we are really lucky, the new 4680 cells. An X with 450 miles of range, no fit and finish issues, and a four year warranty.......sign me up!

God forbid, even Kia has 8 year warranty, Tesla should do the same.

That's about the most important thing for customers, to be honest, that they should get fixed asap.
OK, not alone, a refresh is always cool, but still, to be honest: I don't mind a chrome delete or slight changes at trims, while keeping the reliability low because of THIS issue... A waste of time to get it repaired every few thousand km / Miles.
