-All cars offered on the site now include AP
-SR was one of "all cars" offered on the site
-It follows that it should have AP since it is now standard on all cars
-They can't jack up the price on existing agreements
All cars on the site NOW include AP. SR WAS one of the cars offered on the site. But it no longer is there following the price changes. So they are not required to include AP at that price.
So SR ($35K) + AP ($3K) = $38K vs $39.5K for the SR+ to get the heated front seats, immersive sound, and 20 miles of range. How much those three things are worth will vary by individual. But the difference of $1,500 is now small enough that it comes down to SR being a great value if you don’t care about AP, but a less compelling decision either way if you plan to add AP.
Most people will never charge their SR+ past 90% to protect the battery, so they will get 216 miles of rated range. The SR can be charged to 100% to get 220 miles of range since the last 20 miles can’t be accessed anyway so it should not harm the battery to charge up to 220 miles. So the range difference only matters if you plan to charge the SR+ to 100% to squeeze out the last 20 miles of range.
