Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

[smjbh5]

I don't see specific mention of what people who purchased EAP get (just a Model 3 with no AP can buy for 2000 or FSD for 5000.). So maybe Musk will follow-up with something more specific for EAP owners.

I hope so. If they're giving full FSD (AP+FSD) for $5K, then the folks the paid $5K for EAP, should get FSD for free.

Tesla forgot basic math here.

Those with EAP (who upgrade to FSD) or FSD (already) will have overpaid by $3K compared to those that have nothing.

Those with nothing should be paying $8K and not $5K for Autopilot and FSD.

Elon just tweeted that those who bought EAP can upgrade to full self driving for an additional $2k

While I was lucky not to buy the EAP and FSD for my Model 3, I am still not sure whether it will get further cut in the future.

After reading news about Tesla last 5 years, this is not surprising, however.

FSD $2k for those who purchased EAP..I guess it is a little bit better

 

[SoCalGuy]

Just logged into my Tesla account and I’m still seeing $4K for Autopilot and $7K for FSD. I bought the in second half of 2018. Anyone else see these old prices still?

It makes more sense to make it free as those who had not bought can get it $5k for both EAP and FSD.
So it makes the old buyers pay for $7K total.

Why punish early adopters?

This is totally doesn’t make sense, If I paid $5k for EAP before, but under this new structure I still need to pay another $3k for FSD. but if I have neither, I only need to pay $5k for EAP+ FSD? That’s insane... under this new price structure, we shoud get FSD for free.

It’s $2k instead of $5k for fsd

I guess I have to jump on chat tomorrow as I paid $3K last night. Can't even get into my car on the website now; get "Access Denied".

Brace for everyone on the forum who bought FSD last night who is about to check in.....

I paid $5500 for EAP. Many paid $7000. I paid more for EAP alone than AP+FSD cost today. I get that I got the larger tax credit, but 2 price drops plus the new AP/FSD prices in 2 months?

Do you always live your life through the rear-view mirror? That's a sure way to set yourself up for failure and an unhappy life. Always look forward, go make more money, don't cry about past spending. If Elon Musk lived like that he would have been in the poorhouse before he made his first million. I mean he never would have made his first million. He would have been paralyzed about his current financial position. The world is an open oyster. Go make the most of it and never look back. The past is for dummies.

Even with his latest tweet...

If two people bought the exact same car on the same date in 2018 or early 2019, except one purchased no software add on and the other purchased EAP for $5k... the one who bought nothing early gets rewarded now by getting both EAP and FSD for $5k, and the one who bought EAP early will have to end up paying $7k for both EAP and FSD.

Someone explain how that makes sense or is fair.

I work in tech. Price cuts for same product a few months later don't bother me in the least even the Model 3. It happens all the time and is predictable. The latest and greatest is always more money than stuff that's been out for while. I bought the M3 because I knew it would be good AND because I want Tesla to succeed for various reasons. If I just wanted cheapest decent transportation I would have bought a Civic.

 

[smjbh5]

I think if we keep complaining on twitter, it'll end up being free. I can handle the price drop on the car, but making me pay more for SW...

 

[vjason]

I'm not really complaining, just talking. You don't see me on Twitter @'ing Elon demanding things like some that frequent the board or talking about every minor issue I had with delivery.

I'm just saying it has been a crazy 2.5 months since I bought the car. But I enjoy the car, and EAP, and will likely buy the wife a Y.

As I said, I get it. I know the master plan, and would have never assumed that it did not apply to the lifecycle of the 3. Some will pay more, others will pay less.

What a freakin cluster. This would be a virtual non issue if they made the price for both $8K. Instead someone at TESLA can’t do basic math and said $5K for both screwing all that paid $5K for EAP or $8K originally for FSD.

Now Elon also can’t do basic math and is saying you need to pay an additional $2K if you have EAP today. So now those customers will be in the whole for $7K.

Nah, you are going to need the Hardware 3 retrofit to make all this work with the latest and greatest in self-driving.

I paid $5000 for EAP back in 2018. FSD was $3000 more back then but I didn’t buy it. Now FSD is still $3000, on the exact same car which is now even cheaper. Where’s the saving?

 

[J1mbo]

Woo hoo! Early Access Program! Happy about that. Might get more than 1 update every 6 months now...

Have you received $0 in value from EAP in the months/years you’ve had it?

At Walmart. Go to Walmart now. The deals are very good.
