Which reminds me which were those Grand Parkway exits, again?I'd pay money to downgrade from AP to regular old cruise control, so yes, it's not such a bad thing.

Whenever people say "it's just software", despite being in the tech industry, i mostly agree with them. Developing hardware requires lots of upfront cost as well as an ongoing cost to produce. Software usually has a smaller upfront cost and a largely nominal ongoing cost so that scaling is infinite compared to hw. Tesla does pay their developers to continue to develop their SW but that fixed/stable cost is not impacted by whether they have 500 customers or 500,000 (customer service is another discussion).
That's why Tesla typically values FSD very low for trade-in's. It has value to the customer but no real inherent value to Tesla. They can just update any car with it because the SW already exists. Just like pushing SR to SR+ upgrade costs Tesla nothing.

I work in software development...i know. The upfront capital expenditure is far less than hardware and the profit margin potential is far higher because of how scalable it is. Just look at the most valuable companies in the stock market for the proof... they are all tech companies. Their high valuations are based on the idea that these tech companies can grow revenue with very little additional costs. Hire 10 developers, pay them $200k w/ no sales for 2 years and you've spent $4m and you could have a $1bn tech startup, or you could spend $1bn upfront building a manufacturing plant and have a product that fails in the market. The risk is much lower w/ SW and that is a pretty accepted maxim at this point. I'm not saying anything crazy here."Software usually has a smaller upfront cost"?!?!?! NO! I've worked in software for decades and software products can be in development for years with zero income to the company. Dozens of software engineers making six-figure salaries plus a QA department plus a technical documentation department plus expensive servers and workstations and networks and an IT department to support it all. Software development is a HUGE money sink.
What's the SR price after the recent price adjustment? Is it sub-35k or still 35k?
It isn't really just software. As it also unlocks more capacity out of the battery that they will have to warranty.

Which one(s)?On 99 going South between Westheimer Parkway and Hwy 90.
Enjoy!

So, I've sent Tesla customer service an email to ask about the new price on the SR+. I current have the SR with AP, which at the time, paid $38000, but the new price now for SR+ is $37990, when asked about this upgrade, they said I wouldn't be able to just get an upgrade, but will forward my question to corporate. They didn't say, what it would take to upgrade to SR+ for me and left it at that. I might pursue the question further, but I don't think there's a clear answer yet from Tesla corporate.
Tesla should offer a reduced price for this upgrade or the SR is no longer a good value.
I also hope they offer some sort of price protection period or buyer might stay on the sidelines (typical deflation problem)

Oh crap! I might jump on this if it's true.My SA told me that if you want to upgrade from SR to SR+, all you have to do now is pay the difference, $2990.

Well, a new buyer can just buy the SR+ if they want to. I would assume, it's only for existing owners.confirmed for existing SR owners? or just new buyers
