NEW EAP Trial

[Striker3000s]

I have the sales team escalating it over the phone. I also sent in an email through my Tesla page that has been escalated. I plan on following up on both soon.

It's difficult because I don't have a lot of time to wait on the phone. Email seems easily ignored. We'll see.

Can you link to that tweet about V8 autopilot trial? I'd love the reference that too when I call. Their hard line with previous trial users is absurd.

See post #75

Why does Tesla want to be so strict about giving a V9 trial if you had a v8 trial? You'd think they would want to show us their best so we would be more inclined to GIVE THEM MONEY!!!!

How am I supposed to give Tesla MORE MONEY if I don't how much of an improvement v9 is? That's not good salesmanship. It doesn't cost them anything to let us get hooked on it for a month.

It would make a lot of sense to give out shorter trials (if you have already done a trial on an older version) when significant changes or improvements have been rolled out.

I’m finally seeing the $5,500 price on Tesla.com. It was $7,000 until today. I have 21 days left on the trial.

Well I made post #3 in this thread, about 11 days ago. That's when I sent a message to Tesla asking if I could get the current discounted price for EAP, even though I had the earlier trial and did not purchase then. I finally just got a response, though an ambiguous one. They said "Please give us a call at 1-877-79-TESLA in order to purchase this, you can also do it at your local service center." So they didn't explicitly say that I can get the discount. I'm going to hit up the service center this weekend and see what happens.

Docbrown, I'm in Austin too and am in the same situation as you. The service tech originally told me that if they push the latest firmware to me, the trial should kick in again, but so far I havn't seen the new trial or any change in pricing.

Let me know how the visit to the service center goes please.

I logged in and mine still says $7k, I wish my second trail on v9 would start like Elon stated, and I can just purchase it and get it over with for 5500k - sometimes it's tough to give them your money... lol

I got the same at first. When I called, before the tweet, they had no ideal the price even went up and could not help. I was told they CAN NOT edit price. I finally got an email back after I was able to escalate. I told them I would not be calling and they need to give me an answer. In my mind, it's easier to prove they said something over email. I finally got a reply after I sent the Elon tweet.

"It seems it is possible indeed and I am currently working on your request with our engineering team.
I will get back to you as soon as possible."

That was today. We'll see how long it takes. Car and Web both still say 7K and no second trial yet. I think they are talking about pushing the new trial, not just editing the price. At this point I don't care witch as the trial comes with the price.

I'll keep everyone posted.

Me too

It looks like I will be a buyer too. I'm probably going to play one of the credit card bonus sign up games to bring down my price back to the $5k.

I made the same 'mistake' in not buying then as well. Please report back and good luck!

Keep us posted Doc. Keeping fingers crossed.

I've never gotten the trial but I noticed I have summon in my app and the Autopilot in my menu with all the options from day one. They don't do anything and the summon option in the says disabled when I click on it.

Anyone else had this on their car and are also not getting the trial?

I got the 30 Day trial on 11/13 and there was some issue with how screen displays the " Order now " tab.
Long story short, I purchase EAP from the trial on the vehicle for $7000 + TAX.
Talked to Tesla support and was able to get the refund back to my credit card, so my final cost for EAP purchased from trial is now $5500 + TAX.

I'm thinking about the same...

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how Tesla codes on a credit card bill? Will it be worth 3X points on a Chase Sapphire Reserve (Travel category)?

Did anyone who got V8 trial manage to get it for $5500...I might pull the trigger for EAP

Was the refund of the difference immediate? Did you wait on the line for xx hours to be helped?

I just got an email today saying my trial was reset and I should get the prompt for the new one soon. This was from the escalated email I sent 3 weeks ago.
