wait, is FSD a tesla product that underpromises and overdelivers? confused for a second

My car has been at the SC since Thursday for FSD install. Tesla says the 12V battery failed during the install so they replaced it. Not sure how to interpret that. I was planning on replacing the 12V battery in some time anyway as car is 5.5 years old and I'd rather replace in advance than have...

Good to know. We were hoping for atleast 300 mile range since our M3 is at around 230 right now. And the car is too small for longer trips where we may have more luggage.

Currently have a M3 2018 MR. We also have another EV (Nissan Leaf) that is primairly used as a commute car. We like the EAP and have taken road trips in M3, but due to the low range, it is inconvenient to keep charging it. We would like to get a Model X, but don't want to spend the money to buy...

I feel like we got the best of both worlds then. FSD wasn't worth the extra price over EAP until the last couple of years. But EAP was worth what we paid. Now paying $2k to upgrade to FSD is worth it. Or maybe it's just me rationalizing my poor decisions :cool:

LOL. I had the same line of thought. I bought it within an hour of the price drop to $2k upgrade because if Elon might change his mind on the price.

I regret not buying FSD sooner. I could have used it on more miles but I kept telling myself, we don't go on roadtrips in the M3MR, so it's not a good investment. But now I can use it on my commute so the $2k feels worth it to me. If I can transfer to another vehicle a few years down the road...

Thanks. I requested a service appointment, and they confirmed that they will upgrade to HW3 as part of the $2k fee I paid. My earlier appointment was for May 4, but they gave me an appointment for this Thursday. I love EAP even though it is not perfect, so I feel I will enjoy the additional city...

I also have 2018 M3 MR with EAP. I bought because I plan to keep my model 3 for another ~4 years. My commuter is 80 miles RT with the worst part on the streets. $2k would be worth it if it works and I'm sure it will improve over time. I'm excited about it.

Following as I also have 2018 M3 with EAP and submitted order for FSD for $2k this morning but the app no longer says I need to upgrade to 3.0

I have a 2018 Model 3. I purchased the enhanced auto pilot option at that time for $5k or something like that. I have been comtemplating a FSD upgrade but was put off by cost/benefit when the cost to upgrade was $6k over EAP ($12k total). I wanted to subscribe but Tesla app would show up that...
