Enhanced Autopilot (EAP)

[JIBYC]

New option for the UK at £3400. It still seems a bit steep for NoA.

Do we think that you'll get the same amount as a discount off FSD capability?

 

[menzic]

This is interesting but it says TACC is not included, I think I have that already unless I have missed something. i.e. one click down. Seems bonkers not to include cruise control in a car of this cost. For me it is great in start stop traffic..

 

[OfficialMark_H]

It does seem a little strange for TACC to be included in FSD when we already have it with non FSD.
It seems for £3400 we are getting most of the FSD stuff other than stopping at traffic lights.
I’m not sure if I shall jump, though on one of the FB groups someone has.

It only makes sense if they are planning on removing TACC on the basic spec car.

 

[Gatsojon]

It seems crazy that by taking this option we would lose TACC which I currently have. That can’t be right?

Hope you're right, but that would be the logic. Frankly, given how bad FSD is today, TACC delivers enough of an FSD experience for most people that paying £7k is pretty crazy. Personally, I wouldn't pay a penny for any upgraded automation unless it was way more reliable.

In order to use autopilot, surely the car has to use TACC, otherwise it’ll prove to be the most frustrating experience with manually adjusting it.

I’m just hoping they done nerf our current features!

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Can't see it on the new car page - is this just on the in-app upgrade list?

 

[Jeeves]

Pay extra for some more alpha test code? Not likely.

Info on Twitter and here: Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot returns as an optional upgrade [Update] - Drive Tesla Canada

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Yeah, I see it on twitter now. You're all reading too much into it. TACC is part of basic Autopilot, this new upgrade definitely doesn't remove it (or any functionality)

If that were the case then you're saying "Auto lane Change" isn't part of FSD either because it's in this new option but not in the FSD option.

 

[pdk42]

According to that screen shot, TACC only comes with the £7k FSD package. I just hope that doesn't presage another Premium Connectivity con.

 

[NewbieT]

How can you have autopilot without TACC? Bonkers.

 

[pdk42]

Well, it's probably overreaction, but as of now, "Basic Autopilot" means TACC and autosteer. Seems odd to then list TACC arriving only with FSD.

 

[Rustybkts]

I can see the offer on my account.
I wonder if not mentioning TACC is because it is already installed. FSD doesn't seem to get "Auto Lane Change". Would make sense although noted they mention TACC on the FSD description.
If it is just a description error as so often happens with Tesla, I could see quite a few sales as for one I cannot see myself allowing hands off city driving for a long time yet.

Apparently autopilot and TACC was a free trial and they are taking it away unless you pay a monthly subscription

 

[Medved_77]

TACC has always been listed as a feature of Full Self Driving so I wouldn't worry about it being removed if you currently have Autopilot or are looking to upgrade to EAP.

Here's an image of the upgrades screen from earlier in the year when the rear heated seats became available for SR+:

What is intriguing though is that smart summon is now just referred to as summon in all options.

 

[phil4]

My guess is it’s a slip up.

I reckon they’ve seen sales of FSD drop off, and want to get some more sales at half the price.

Ill be honest the one that interests me is being able to overtake without needing to disable and then re-enable autopilot ... whether that’s done by the car deciding to overtake or me.

Until FSD can cope with roundabouts, I don’t see the point of paying for full FSD in the UK unless you’re a YouTuber or need summon to get the car out of the garage or similar.

 

[Dilly]

Makes for an interesting thought.
If one upgrades to EAP, I assume a further upgrade is then available to FSD from there.
One wonders what that price will be.

 

[SimonT]

We have FSD and to be honest never really use it apart from in conjunction with cruise on the motorway.

we have also just ordered a MS and haven’t bothered selecting FSD.
