Model 3 was always about bundling to simplify configs, even the other cars have gone to more bundling of options, not less.
On that basis Tesla is moving further away from offering an individual addon, so getting TACC on its own is highly unlikely.
There is nothing stopping Tesla from offering TACC as a separate option. The parts for it are in every car since every car comes with the full suite of Autopilot hardware. They would just need to have a software option for TACC only.
History would suggest otherwise.Bundling is the only way Tesla makes money right now. Once that changes it will be decoupled.

Whoa, apparently we're married to the same woman?!? ;-)I have enjoyed TACC feature in my Tesla Model S for a long time.My wife is not ready to give up the steering wheel control to anyone yet while she is driving, but totally appreciates the automatic braking, and maintaining distance while she holds on to the steering wheel.
And the reason they won't, is that I'd rather pay the $5k for AP than leave the car without TACC. If they upsell to AP on just one out of five cars, that's the same as selling a $1k TACC option on all five. OTOH, if they had a TACC option, that's what I'd be buying, comfortable in the knowledge I could upgrade to AP later (for an additional price) if I wanted to.They won't do it,
Couldn't agree more, because I agree with others who've pointed out it really is a safety feature. (Of course, plenty of people will argue autosteer is also a safety feature, so should that be free too? It's not a simple case.)but I believe they should include it by default.
Possibly you should just delete this thread then? (Is that even a thing? I've never tried.)lol - exact same thread this morning....sorry, ignore this one

While ModelS owners are largely techie, appreciate Tesla, own stocks, ready to forgive everything and be patient, M3 owners would be mainstream and want things to work. While Tesla irons out all the AP code, giving TACC as an option to buy might just get things going:
(1) get more $ out of M3 owners (majority aren't convinced to pay $5K for EAP
(2) many may not be able to justify the $5K cost while they are just moving to EV life (solar panels and 240V plug points would likely be higher priority for them than EAP)
(3) TACC can bring lot of safety related features and reduce driving stress in many urban use cases
Allow this, and either keep (& perhaps increase) EAP in MS and MX to recoup the costs. Tesla shouldn't treat M3 and MX/MS owners the same way.
:=). Since when have women given up control?Whoa, apparently we're married to the same woman?!? ;-)
