NEW EAP Trial
- Thread starter Striker3000s
- Start date
They should have something saying "not now." But I think they're doing it on purpose. They don't want you to save the trial for your planned "big trip."
The front bumper thing sucks. Last week I got curb rash just because I was in a rush and did a quick stop at a McDonalds. That's going to be a pricey hamburger.

All right, I did not get an EAP trial. I bought it outright for our Model 3, and it works just like I thought it would, and I enjoy it. So there's your trial, but it goes on past 14 days (been much longer than that now). I guess you have to figure if it's right for you, but I already knew it's right for me so I bought it.

Got my car 8 days ago. It was way behind on firmware updates when I got it and I haven't received any since then (I don't even have the dash cam). I really want to get this trial for a Thanksgiving trip I have planned but is that even realistic if I'm several updates behind at present?
Picked it up end of September, did not get the first trial though. Even emailed Tesla about it. They told me it was no longer available.
I think it's an over-expensive toy. It does weird stuff during my commute, respects a weird 40mph in the middle of a 60mph highway, and it swerves to the right when the road is not marked very well.
Regardless, I thing I'm going to buy it. Damn it.

I was just told by email that I would not be getting the trial. Nor could I get the pricing. They will only sell me EAP at $7,000. I asked that it be escalated to someone that could sell me EAP at $5,500 but I assume it will just get lost in the shuffle.
Sad day. I was willing to give them money.

I'm still waiting for the reply to the email that I sent. Who did you send yours to? I submitted it through the Support section when managing my car on the Teslamotors website.
Well on the bright side, if I get the same response, it will make the decision much easier and I will have $6k more money in the bank.
I did the same. They just sent me a link to the Autopilot Trial page. When I replied to that about the pricing and having taken the 14 day trial in early September, the same person replied that I was out of luck for the trial or the pricing. Still no reply on requesting it be escalated.
I did end up calling HQ sales who told me I would be able to take part in the trial. I brought up the language on the web page and they acted like they had no idea that was there. They then sent me to service who said they didn't know if I would get the trial and could not help me with price. They said they would check into it further and call me back. I'm not expecting a call.
At this point, I'm about sick of dealing with it. If they're going to offer a deal, it should be for everyone.

Jesus, I'm in the bottom .5% of that chart. So nice of Tesla to update my firmware prior to delivering it to me. The wifi from my apartment and work doesn't reach my car.
You had from the time you picked up your car all the way until last week to buy it at the lower price. It isn't Tesla's fault that you didn't take advantage of it during that time.
42.3, 30 days, noticed "summon" appearing in the app this morning before i even had a chance to accept/start the trial on-screen.
Summon clearly terrifies me, especially when backing into the garage. Besides, it doesn't back into position that leaves most space between cars, so it is not terribly useful even if I got used to it.
Autosteer is clearly whacky on highways. I thought it would keep the lane much better than it did. It probably works better on freeway. Haven't tried NoA yet, but it's there.
Most of all, i wish there were an adjustment for how aggressively it applies breaks (or, rather, how early it starts to ease on the approach to a stop.). I usually do it much sooner that the EAP does. EAP kind of doesn't give any indication it actually sees a traffic stop situation until the very last moment necessary. I am sure my wife specifically will not like this, since we have a similar traffic aware stop on another car, and it similarly doesn't ease on the gas until the very last moment necessary, and she does not care for it one bit.
