Standard AutoPilot needs to switch lanes

Are you running a trial, by chance?
But yes, another vote here for adding lane change to standard autopilot. Really annoying to have to disengage and re-engage after a lane change. I don't need it to do auto lane changes without my suggestion or input, just let me do it with the blinker lever.
Tesla decides what an option will include or not include. There is no logical basis for stating that the current Auto Pilot option should include Auto Lane Change and Summon. It’s up to Tesla. Every auto manufacturer makes their own decisions about what a specific option includes or does not include.
Your position seems to be that Auto Pilot should include those two features, but you offer no rationale for your position.

Tesla can't afford two bad quarters in a row, no matter the reason. In June, as the next financial quarter is ending, and they need to get the dollar amounts up, if they offer base AP cars the ability to re-add turn signal lane changes for $250 or so, I'd pay that. I don't care about the Summon or Autopark, don't need those. But the whole disengage/change lanes/re-engage is annoying.
A la carte autopilot options for everyone! Design your own!

I did. The fact that even the most basic AP ever offered included that feature. Standard with the car doesn’t not equal free, ,just means I paid for my AP feature in the total price of the vehicle.
The other point is the fact that it is unsafe. Someone will forget to turn auto steer back on after a lane change and crash their car. There is no real reason lane change on turn signal can't be at the very least a Stand alone add on ($500?). I don’t want FSD and I never plan on putting my car on this magical network of robotaxis, I barely want passengers I know in the thing. Why would I spend $5,000 to get one small thing? They are leaving money on the table by not offering a la carte options like this that are software enabled. There should be a menu right in the screen where I can check off some boxes of things if like to add and bam, more $ for Tesla.

We are with lots of users on this forum, why we don't make an official petition to Tesla to put this as standard.
I just traded my 2016 Model S for model 3 and I am completely disappointed that basic AP can't change lines like my model S used to.
This is both dangerous and annoying. About 80% of my driving is on the highway so lane changing without disengaging autopilot is a basic feature in my opinion.

If they did that then all European FSD owners would not be happy as Euro spec FSD does not lane change unless manually indicated.

Yes this is VERY annoying and I thought that was part of the package as it WAS part of the trial. Or PLEASE meet us half way by disabling lane assist and the tone if one puts on the blinker. The tone and slight jerk make lane assist almost useless.
I called in to the Ride The Lightning podcast about this very thing several months ago, and Ryan agreed — the lack of lane change in basic AP is a problem.
I get that they need to hold something back to get people to upgrade to FSD, but lane changes are the most dangerous part of driving, and that’s the problem AP is supposed to fix. Here’s where it makes sense to me to draw the line — basic AP should be able to make lane changes initiated by the driver by pulling the stalk, and FSD should be able to make automatic lane changes without driver intervention.

It was- back when the basic package was EAP.
And tons of folks complained it was too expensive and they just wanted a lower price for basic TACC/autosteer.
So Tesla gave people what they wanted, and moved everything else to FSD.
Now other folks are complaining the other direction.
Can't make everybody happy.
The biggest problem I have with paying almost $10,000 cdn for FSD is that there are so many features that just aren’t always available. NoAP? Maybe, if you’re on the right highway. Smart Summon? Not in BC, and only in certain parking lots. Snow? Won’t even engage eliminating 5-6 months of use in the year.
I’d gladly take auto lane change and basic summon if I could buy them as individual add ons.
