I got EAP originally, and didn't buy the FSD upgrade. Still on the fence. But I doubt it will ever be less than $3K that is currently offered... so I'm waffling!
I'm concerned that FSD will never come to fruition. But maybe it will. Argh! Are there any other benefits?
The benefit is that when it goes to $4k, you’ll look at it and go glad I paid $3k!
Glad I got mine for $2k in February. But $3k is ok too
Case in point.
The reality is Tesla has offered FSD for almost 3 years now. Whether you paid the discounted price of $5,000, after sale price of $6,000, the fire sale of $2,000 or the new increasing price of $3,000. It will be too much for the non-existent feature. And if/when it actually launches you’ll either believe you got in on a deal early, or be screwed over by new terms from Tesla. All are possible.
The real question is..how long do you plan on keeping your car?
Side note, did a custom build today given the free unlimited sc is back when I realized a new Model x costs $6,000 for FSD, Autopilot is now included. I paid for EAP $5,000. Additional $3,000 now makes your FSD $8,000 total vs $6,000 new.
If I factor in the cost of an extended warranty, FSD, and let’s say a battery upgrade from a 75D to a 100D/long range. It would actually be more cost efficient to buy a new X at that point. So the morale of the story is...skip FSD upgrade. Buy a new X with fSD.
