Well, if Mr. Musk is correct, then TMC user LineofSight will win first place. We'll see. I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah, I figured he might be using some odd calendar as well.

I was surprised to see he says it has the autoparking in your garage feature too.

Not just here after way too long but more than just minimum features. Apparently some of the new features were tied up in the V7 code and they didn't want to back port them to 6.x

Really? Whether you're upset about the delay or not, they're clearly late! It's now certain that it's going to be greater than a year from them saying several months to general availability of most autopilot features. I think most people were expecting 3-4 months, based on Elon's comments. The end of the summer was already pushing it, even with delays. Over a year is a bit ridiculous. And still, we have no idea when it's going to be released and it looks like it still will be missing a bunch of previously announced features.

Still can't revise the October statement that AP would roll out over the next year, and that the next year ends 31 Dec 2015. When I placed my order in November, I did so with the clear understanding that AP would take a year - and sure enough, it has.

While statements made subsequent to the October event have indeed proven egregiously inaccurate, the October statement remains incontrovertibly accurate.

Thursday? Thursday the 15th!
Curse my luck.

I think an Elon Distortion Field modifier needs to be added so at least 1-2 weeks off a specific date.

He didn't say that. By all accounts, it has parallel parking. That's it.

He actually said that the garage parking is coming in 7.1. Interestingly, also said that the major UI changes are coming in 7.1. So, maybe this time next year?

And another final interesting bit from Twitter, also says the update should roll out to everyone over about 5 days, not months.

Correct, though he did mention garage parking will be in 7.1:

See the twitter screenshot above. I just assumed "autopilot parking" = yes in 7.0 was the parking that will be in 7.1.

I'm not sure what "autopilot parking" is if it isn't driving into my garage.

V7 AP = parallel parking
V7.1 AP = auto park into your garage
Seems to be the message.
I just can't figure out how v7.1 park into your garage could work given the current sensor suite without side cameras.

It has sensors all around that can see about 15 feet. That's fine at low speeds.

Tesla is now talking about the Autopilot in the present tense, like it is here now. The following was in a marketing e-mail from Tesla this morning for a test drive on Friday:

From: Tesla <[email protected]>

Tesla's award winning Model S, now with Autopilot features, is an evolution in automobile engineering.

They've been talking about it in the present tense since last year. Have you seen teslamotors.com?

I'm sure this news is all over these forums, but I'm not seeing it...

Autopilot will be released on Thursday (Oct 15th):

Tesla Motors Inc Autopilot Available October 15: Elon Musk

Edit: Ok, nvm, I just went back a page on this thread.

I got a chuckle out of your post. Yeah, it's being discussed in various forms across three threads, and was shared here about 90 seconds after Elon's post

 

[skilly]

This article says "The autopilot features are available on all of Tesla cars, but to enable the features, customers are required to spend an additional $2,500."

That doesn't sound right at all...

That is for the rare case of people that bought a car with physical sensors installed but didn't pay for the software. There are some out there but they know who they are.

I am glad a used the discount from using my friend's referral code towards the autopilot upgrade (an honest referral, BTW). Only a 1 month wait, unlike some disgruntled others on this forum.
