Marc Benton had a tweet, that I tried to post as an image, that said that he heard from Tesla execs that they were thinking of giving EAP owners FSD for free. But I don't think it was true.

Just purchased AP for 2.6k cnd... not bad considering exchange rate is 1.35 so should have been $2700 plus 6% duties based on the 2k usd price.
FSD now showing as 4K Cnd. (2.96k usd). I’ll pass for now as Navi on AP and the usless summon/parallel isn’t enough to sway me yet lol. Once traffic light recognition finally comes in (Elon’s teased ‘coming in 6 months’ ever since 2015), I’ll spring for it. I’m not holding my breath!

I purchased it Tuesday night and still don’t have it. I feel like it’s going to be awhile until it actually shows up in our cars.
It seems like to me Tesla is going to have to re write a lot of the software before it shows up. These are new AP packages where the feature sets are different than what we used to have. I think we are going to have to wait for a new software update, and then after that wait for the AP packages to be pushed to our cars. Of course like any other update they will do a slow roll out for testing and then probably a couple more revisions before a major roll out. It could be a month or more for that to happen.
I know that by extracting the option codes (like using RemoteS app on iOS) you can check whether you have the option code APF2, but I'm not aware of any visible sign of FSD from the MCU.
I just bit the bullet and bought the FSD for $2,000. Already have EAP for my MS 85D. Whoo hooo! Let the fun begin! Looking forward to many software upgrades in the future!
Thank you for your purchase
It may take up to one hour for your Tesla to update. To install, you’ll need to be parked and have adequate connectivity. When the upgrade is complete, you will see a confirmation on your Tesla touchscreen

I think you might be asking about FSD, that I don’t know. I purchased the new basic AP because my car never had any AP features.
Since this is a new AP package (no Summon, NOA, or auto park) I’m sure the current software on the car doesn’t know how to handle enabling that so its going to require new software update before I see anything. As far as purchasing FSD after your car already had EAP...yeah I dont know how you would tell because your really not going to see any new features anyways.
Debating if I should pull the trigger as well. My Tesla page shows $2k now (it was showing $3k yesterday).
I am still a bit baffled as to what buying a FSD upgrade actually means.
I have a 2017 90D Model S w/ AP2 EAP at delivery. I do now see the $2000 upgrade to FSD in mytesla account page.
If I buy this, is there a hardware upgrade required? Is it purely software? I’m looping around threads trying to piece this together without success.

This is a great flow chart and is just the information I was looking for! Thank you for posting this!
I guess the only remaning question I have is whether or not I will require some sort of hardware upgrade to enable “D” on my 2017 90D AP2 car. In the meantime, I’ll keep using “C” happily while I consider pulling the $2k FSD upgrade trigger.

greatThis may help add to the confusion! I'm not sure about the HW upgrade, but I hope so!

This chart should be sticky and placed at the top of all s/x/3 forums so people don't waste time on partial information.

I am in the same boat here too, I see the 2K upgrade now and have the 2017 Model S 90D w/ AP2 EAP also. I had seen the chart and the multiple mentions about new hardware/ MCU, if the 2K includes this and it is just the time to schedule and get done, I am good with this, but if it is additional cost required for the new hardware, then i want to figure out what that cost is before forcing myself down a rabbit hole.
I will say i would love the new hardware if is also brought with it the option for using the built in cameras, sentry mode, etc. not available on AP2.
Pulled the trigger on my own $2k FSD update. I'm assuming that there's a hardware upgrade required, despite the implication from email that "It may take up to one hour for your Tesla to update."
My understanding is that if you already had EAP you really won't notice much if any difference in the features. Basically, what you are doing is adding the upcoming features (traffic lights/stop sign recognition, advanced summon) as well as a placeholder for HW3 upgrade.
