I bit the bullet and paid for the $2000 ($2600 CAD) for AP yesterday , so it should be active by the weekend hopefully. At some point I will upgrade to FSD.
Did not order EAP or FSD when we bought the car in mid December , as it would have made the cost way over budget at the time.
But when I had the EAP trial for the first month of ownership, I really liked the auto steer and adaptive cruise control and am super excited to have those features back permanently !.
I remember during the EAP trial, I took one of my friends for a ride , and he was super impressed at how the car could follow and automatically slow, stop and accelerate to keep pace with the car ahead .
Then as we came to some curves I let go of the wheel , and HIS JAW WAS ON THE FLOOR as he watched the steering wheel turn on its own !
He looked at me with his eyes wide and jaw open, like he had just seen The Virgin Mary and the Immaculate Conception.
He said that since he was a kid, he had always dreamed of seeing a drive that could drive on its own , and to see that in person was just mind-blowing MAGIC .
You can always get more money, but how many times in life can you actually buy MAGIC ?
