What’s just happened?

[Tevvy]

Went to my car this morning and I now seem to have an upgrade which gives me navigate on autopilot and summon? Previously I hadn’t got this (just a standard AP).

Have Tesla given me this for free?

Have you upgraded through the app by mistake?

Check your credit card bill

If you’ve ordered it accidentally through the app, that’s one hefty mistake! I’m sure you can refund it if you did make the mistake. If not, then you’re very lucky!

I have heard they audit from time to time and have been known to remove features enabled by mistake which is very tough on the cars that have been sold with the accidentally enabled feature which is then removed when the new owner paid a price reflecting the option was there. Not common I am sure but I did read about one or two cases

It would actually be a smart move on Teslas part to allow EVERYONE a free months trial of FSD........... if of course they genuinely think the features it offers are worth the money. Presumably it would increase sales Maybe the fact that they dont tells us that they think most people would not find it value for money?

They have done this in the past, several years ago, prior to Model 3. I suspect they might do it again when it’s a bit more “feature complete” than now, perhaps when it can respond to traffic lights and stop signs. Other than a bit of admin, it would cost them nothing, and might prompt some people to upgrade.

Edit: Found it! Tesla is now offering 1-month free Autopilot trials to Model S and X owners - Electrek

I can confirm I have not put my credit card anywhere near the portal lol.

They've definately done this for free.........I've even got smart summon (not that I've managed to test it yet).

Best enjoy it whilst you can! I had rear seat heaters on my SR+ when delivered, but never sat on them in time ... a few weeks later the feature disappeared!

Just called Tesla support. Seems they are upgrading all the older cars (mine's a 3 year old S) to the same spec as the new cars for free.

Happy days........

They upgraded this for free on many cars to get extra bodyshop work.

Congrats! (It's worth putting your Tesla model in your sig so we know which you are referring to ... it wasn't apparent in the first post.)

Ahh! I assumed it was a model 3...

I'm guessing the free upgrade won't be happening on our threes for quite some time!

Maybe this is a UK thing.

Congratulations.
