You can still order with Model X.

 

[Ezri10]

[Dan Detweiler]

Donation to Tesla to pay for SEC settlement.

and then what?

For anyone that doesn’t know what’s being discussed here, for as of yet unknown reasons Tesla has removed the option to purchase FSD on the Model 3 ordering page. EAP is still an option:

I wonder if this is an effort to reduce the MASSIVE volume of cars that will require HW3 computer swaps in "6 months". At current Model 3 production rates, 6 months = 130K cars. Assume only 10% of people buy FSD and you still have 13,000 cars to swap computers on!

and then what?

I'm guessing that it will re-appear as an option when FSD-specific features start to roll out with HW3. I'm guessing it was to reduce confusion as to why people were paying for features that were not available yet.

When it does come back, I'm guessing the price for FSD will increase. But those that already purchased it will be grandfathered in. Tesla is not abandoning FSD, just not making it an option to purchase after next week until it materializes.

Yep, but I'm guessing they will be removed from the S and X configurator in the near future as well.

 

[kbecks13]

Yep, but I'm guessing they will be removed from the S and X configurator in the near future as well.

Or maybe not since S/X production volume is much lower than the 3! We shall see.

I think you’re on the right track here.

I had full self driving listed in the options section on my vehicle details page, but now it is gone. Curious if others have had the same thing happen?

 

[Super_Popular]

So does Elon mean it will be an option for a week then no more?....for a while?

...same

Adding the MR option may be intended as smoke to obscure the elimination of FSD.

There may be more changes needed than the processor upgrade to get close to FSD. Tesla may not want the potential liability of upgrading hundreds of thousands of model 3s.

Yea they are definitely trying to reduce the number of vehicles that need upgrades, but i doubt they would design/manufacture an entirely new variant JUST to obscure attention from something that will STILL get plenty of eyes on it.
