Should I add EAP option?

...maps...

Sure HD maps would help but I drove this Los Angeles I-5 North Freeway stretch last month and it didn't look like this. The construction keeps changing each time I pass through. This time, it created a sudden curve to the right simply with re-drawn lane markers:

Notice that the AP2 picks up on the curve for the right side of lane markers which is very fading white broken line but not the left side of the lane which is the yellow line and that was enough for it to sail through at 63 MPH with no problem.


Some poor drivers would depend on the straight median on the left as a guide and would slam straight into the divided median as evidenced by its damage:

It's hard to believe that Tesla would be so fast to update construction maps so quickly.

I think it's the robust lane marker recognition in this case.

buy it... you will love it during your work commute. Just don't play cards with a guy in the back seat while you are using it and things will be cheeky!
I purchased a 75D without AP2, then took a local car for a test drive. I used autopilot on the hwy during the test drive. When I got home I called my sales rep and had him add it. It cost 500 dollars to make the late change (had been 2 weeks). That's still a 500 dollar savings over making the purchase after delivery. Have fun with your new car and welcome to the Tesla family.

Thank you all again. The delivery date is now set at late November. Hopefully, i will be able to get it sooner. 2 months is kind of long.

I found what looks like good, definitive, list of EAP/current hardware features at Enhanced AP HW2 Q&A, Firmware 17.36.1b27c6d (8.1), Photos & Notes 9/14/2017 | Tesla

Interesting that blind spot detection is marked as not working and yet the auto lane change is marked as working. I suppose the EAP checks the blind spots before pulling out and therefore the driver doesn't need to know.
