Who would buy an SR+ for 4 more thousand?

You're set. No chance they raise the price of your car after you've already ordered it. Considering you gave a deposit that probably isn't even legal.
Well my delivery specialist got back to me, she says that she still doesn't see a VIN so she can't do anything yet.
I don't get why they put in "Deliveries of Model 3 Standard will begin this weekend." In An Update to Our Vehicle Lineup if no one at Tesla that we can talk to can confirm that.

I can’t help but think that including Autopilot in the description of a base SR at $35K is a mistake that someone at Tesla is going to get fired over. But as long as they are taking orders for the $35K model and including Autopilot, anyone who has been on the fence about ordering should jump at this before they realize what they have done. That’s an insane price for that much car.
I just got off a very quick phone call with sales and simply requested that they update the pricing on my SR order. Within the hour, my total dropped $3700. Autopilot is indeed included in the base $35k price now, and the price for my paint selection went down $500.
Interestingly, my order had become "unconfirmed" last night and I had to click the button on my Account page to reconfirm the order.

I assume this is an order you placed a while ago right? before the news yesterday?
All of the people in this thread who have confirmed orders for the SR model and received confirmation that it includes Autopilot, including post #125 from just a few minutes ago.
Sure, those I am not blind to see.
I mainly trying to find a reference from Tesla independent of the order confirmations at the thread.
Analyzing things, I cannot see any possible reason why Tesla would bundle EAP for free on 35K Model 3s.
What is the point of paying $4K more for a 3SR+ then?
I stand as a beneficiary on the package but I am just stating it does appear to be a rational move on Tesla's part.
I believe it’s an error made by someone in the systems maintenance side of the business who will likely lose their job over this. But for those who placed an order and received confirmation that their vehicle includes Autopilot, Tesla may have to honor the deal. Which is why I would place an order asap before Tesla realizes their mistake.
I just called Tesla Rocklin sales and they had a memo that said Autopilot is NOT included in the off menu SR and LR cars. I’m guessing he meant for new orders placed today. So all of you with existing orders lucked out. Patience paid off.
What about SR+ to SR downgrades? Or SR+ already in the system?
And IT STILL makes no sense.
change 69....I was the guy who ordered a $35k black SR and auto pilot, for $38k total. I ordered Feb 28th. I called today and asked for free autopilot due to the change. They told me on the phone that it wasn't free, but instead they'd give me $1k off, or $37k total for an SR with autopilot. They referred my case to some group of order team people that can update contracts.
BUT......as of now! my updated total on the Tesla site is $35k with free autopilot included. One 5 minute phone call reduced my total cost by $3k.
"It is better to make many decisions per unit time with a slightly higher error rate, than few with a slightly lower error rate, because obviously one of your future right decisions can be to reverse an earlier wrong one, provided the earlier one was not catastrophic, which they rarely are.”

I'm wondering what number you called?
The number I tried is either going into voice message or directly hanging up.
Agreed. Nothing makes sense. From business point of view, AP should not be free. Almost certainly an error related to the sudden announcement and the various teams/departments not being on the same page. I’m sure it’ll be corrected in a few days. But hopefully they honor the purchase agreements that do say free autopilot.
They should contact you to confirm the delivery and give you the option to schedule it when it will work for you. It seems like the date that was pushed out to a lot of us was a rough guess.
