II was waiting on the free AP with purchase of FSD deal. Not sure if that's going to happen at this point. If it doesn't I'll go for the AP at $2k.

Someone responded to Elon's question with "Hard for some to spend $7k. Can there just be a price reduction on basic AP" so Elon came back with "Will follow up by tomorrow" and then "Done. Now $2k via in-app purchase.".

So I think the free AP with FSD was dropped in favor of just dropping the price of AP until July 1st.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaak. lol

I did see that convo but I assumed both would take place. Maybe they do the $2k first and in a couple days scoop up some more with the FSD deal.

Oh my... I didn't realize that 7k for AP+FSD might be on the table. More choices! I guess I'm waiting to see if that deal shows up.

or AP & SR+ upgrade for $2k for us SR owners.

I bought it anyways and hoping to be grandfathered in in near future

I just bought and upgraded my SR this morning. I'm not in love with it. Considering returning before 48 hour window closes unless you guys can convince me otherwise.

I can see the value in traffic, but I'm rarely in it (I'm a master traffic avoider). Otherwise it's done some sketchy hard braking that felt unsafe.

Thoughts?

Impatiently waiting on that buy FSD get AP. lol

I set a reminder for the last day of the month. Worst case scenario I'll buy AP and dump another $7k into TSLA in my "do not sell!" account.

I don't use autopilot much even during trial period. I enjoy driving. But $2k is attractive. I am debating $2k for AP or buy 2 more shares of TSLA.

I have a 2020 SR and considering AP for $2k, but I have a very short commute and like driving.
Alternatively I've been trying to see what the price is to upgrade to an SR+ hoping some of these discounts impact SR+ upgrade pricing.

I think it all depends on how long you intend to keep the car. I think $2000 for AP can easily be added to the value of the car, in case you were to sell it someday. If I were on the used market looking for a Tesla, I would not be considering a Tesla that didn't at least have AP. Just food for thought.
