Tesla is about to experience the seven perils of discounting
By discounting for the first time, Tesla is not only starting an electric vehicle price war, it is communicating its weakness to existing and future customers.

Did anyone get EAP on their P.
I have it on mine and there seems to be absolutely no features with it.
My car has never "auto lane changed"; I can do it by pressing the indicator but that's not automatic in my eyes, summon doesn't work (I presume disabled), I don't seem to have auto park or it has never been suggested by the car, it doesn't get me onto off ramps, so I don't really know what I have paid for.
Anyone got any comments or insight into this?

Auto lane changes will be bound by UNECE rules (unlike in the USA, see 5.6.4.6 here Regulation No 79 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to steering equipment [2018/1947]) and all the other features are "Coming Soon" for cars without Ultrasonic Sensors on them.
Pretty disappointing when you just invested over 3k into it.
Seems like there is a VERY long way to go before we see these coming soon features. I was in stop go traffic today on AP and it was terrifying.
Does yours accelerate aggressively when setting off in stop start traffic? Even if the car in front has only moved forward a metre? Mine does and it either then brakes sharply or I chicken out and do it.
I looked for a way to change the acceleration on autopilot as I used to have a similar option on my passat with cruise control but alas couldn't see anything.
Is this because its all working on the cameras compared to USS and / or Radar?
Asking the question before ordering would have resulted in many people telling you it isn’t worth a 1/10 of the asking price.
In stop/start traffic try changing the distance setting to 7, that seems to calm it down a little but it will still accelerate harder than you are likely to.

I have now sent them 2 emails. First one I got an automated response saying it will take between 5-10 days to respond and the other one I had to automated response at all.
Going to chase today with another email and a call if I have the time.
I got the reply I expected yesterday, with the same copy and paste line saying they won't do anything.
TBH as frustrating as it is, I got the price drop when I had my Model 3P back in 2019, so swings and roundabouts I guess.
As others have pointed out this type of stuff sort of happens at main dealers anyway, just not so publicly, no way of telling how much you really saved on a car at a main dealer and you'll have some greasy salesman telling you this offers only valid for today, running back and forth to his manager to approve stuff and potentially some horrible sayings and cliches along the way, the worst I think I got was at Audi when buying a used S5 "We all want to put lead in our pencil"

Yes. It will wait for the car to move a bit and then will floor it and slam on.
I normally just turn it off.
I would have thought the uss would have made a massive difference as they actually know how far away the car is.
Can’t think I have had a single trip yet without a camera blocked/blinded warning, currently usually multiple cameras. Could chucklevision ever deal with the issue of rain/fog/dark/country road/condensation/dirt etc, leaving aside camera position in not being able to see over the bonnet? I am even more convinced they will have to go back to hardware assist, leaving all recent recipients of non-USS cars high and dry. EAP/FSD as a minimum should be refunded and taken off sale. “Coming soon”…I bet they said that after the last moon landing.
