Tesla recently brought back Enhanced Autopilot as a $6K software upgrade which adds several important enhancements to the free basic Autopilot software that is included on every Tesla. But, how does it compare to the free basic Autopilot and the $12K Full Self Driving upgrade? Is it worth the extra cost to upgrade?

It's a shame that this video has to be purely a framework for a couple of ads from the sponsor.
As someone who has had Enhanced Autopilot since December 2018, my advice is to pay for the full package for a month and see what features are worth it to you. Ignore all these clowns telling you it’s not worth it, make that decision yourself. For instance, the other day I was doing some yard work and was pretty grimy. I needed to take the green waste bin to the backyard and the easiest path was through the garage. Instead of climbing into our Model 3 to move the car, I simply summoned it in and out of the way. No mess in the car. Our treadmill is located along the sidewall of our garage. No need to climb in the car after a workout to bring the car back in after treadmill use. The point is, make up your own mind. Too many people let other people decide for them.
Very select use cases there, but value is in the eye of the beholder
Yup, not worth the $15,000.
@@mr.fluffy770 Enhanced Autopilot is $6000, not $15000.
@@FreakOfMeds so I am correct in stating it’s not worth $15,000 Hah 😜
@@mr.fluffy770 You have a point there.
I bought a used Tesla with EAP so I basically got it for free. I love it.
The problems aren't with the car, the problems are with poorly marked streets!
Question on EAP , does the car ask you to slightly turn the wheel every 30 seconds like that of the basic auto steer ?
Just for the record: Almost all AutoPilot features, including AutoSteer are still in beta. They mostly work really great, but Tesla apparently doesn't want to provide official customer support for it, so they leave a lot in Beta state.
I bought my Tesla when EAP was not available, and bought FSD (at 6.000 back in the day if memory serves...) to get those EAP features. And after two years of driving now I have to say: It's worth the money to me. I have to add a disclaimer though: AutoPark was AWESOME when I first got my car, and really took a turn for the worse a few months ago. I seriously hope that Tesla fixes this, as currently it is completely useless. (And this is one of the "still Beta" moments I had with Tesla Service in the past...) Summon, and Smart Summon are not something I need, so those don't provide any benefit. And Navigate on Autopilot really doesn't work here in Europe. (About 90% of the "Lane change to follow route" suggestions are plainly wrong.) Traffic Lights and Stop Sign are crap, so that is also not something I would spend money on at the moment. BUT (and that's a big but) Auto Lane Change makes all the difference for me. Not having it means that you have to constantly get AutoPilot on and off and that's annoying, both from the usage perspective and (even more) because of the stupid sound it makes. Having ALC, I can drive long trips without disengaging AutoPilot even once, which is a VERY comfortable experience.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Did you test those features yourself? Would be useful to see those in action and get your perspective.
I own a Tesla Model S (Aug-2018, 100D, enhanced Autopilot) and am considering upgrading from MCU2.5 to MCU3, plus a new Radio, for $3000. Tesla hasn't mentioned upgrading the cameras (I don’t have FSD). They're promoting this upgrade for better CPU/screen performance and LTE signal.
Is this a wise investment? How can I maximize the benefits of MCU3? Also, is it true that subscribing to FSD would lead to a camera upgrade?
EAP @ $6,000 is a good starter, more like a gateway FSD. Once experience the EAP, people will begin to realize the safety & convenience it provides. How much does saving one from a fender vendor, daily parking at narrow spot, and even a highway collision (for you & your family) worth to you ? Although my FSD has a room for improvement, still it is a safety blanket as is since it sees the road better than me during nights, intersections, and obviously when I"m sleepy or distracted. Preventing one accident from happening will pay FSD for itself.
The software rental option is a good deal if you plan to keep your Tesla for less than 5 years. $200 per month for 5 years is $12,000, and $100 per month will be $6,000. The downside is that, if you sell your car, the resale value will be lower without the added features.
It’s my understanding that FSD does not transfer over when you sell your car.
@@mr.fluffy770 if it's purchased (not subscription) the service does stay with the car. I've seen cars advertised and even seen in settings of used cars for sale that it has the package available.
@@tifftbrun I remember reading that FSD was removed when the car was sold… it’s good to know I’m wrong and that it does transfer over to the new owner
Don’t waste your money. Most of the EAP features are currently disabled. Navigate on Autopilot sounds good, but in practice, it adds no value to a daily commute. I don’t need it trying to get me to move over for an exit 3 miles away if I know usual traffic patterns. Auto lane change is nice but that feature works with the basic autopilot.
I like playing with technology. Thought about trying FSD on subscription. Looks like all that is going to do is stop at lights and signs (sometimes).
if I get a Tesla Model Y next year 2024, I would only stick with the basic Auto Pilot. I do not do any freeway driving or highways that work with EAP. Nor do I see myself getting FSD, unless the prices drop allot. i thought FSD costs $15,000 dollars now?
If basic Auto Pilot is similar to normal Cruise Control on my ICE vehicle, that is good enough for me. Does basic Auto Pilot do auto distancing from other vehicles in the same lane???
Thanks for the video. Take care.
If someone purchases eap, and later decides to purchase fsd- will there be a discount for fsd?
Yes
FSD went up in price go $15,000 today
What are the chances that taggers are going to vandalize traffic control devices (signs, center stripes, road edge/lane edge lines, etc. I'd say 100%. The urban gang responsible will probably named Crash.
Chart at 10:02 earns a like from me.
FSD now $15K..ouch!
Hi, John glad you were blown away y fsd in the future 4680 FaSt charge will definitely do same once it's fully optimized just wait and 🙈 see!
Great and clear vid. I’m betting on Teslas future
Thank you!
It's obvious that many people do not think FSD is worth $12,000. What Tesla has done by reintroducing EAP is to effectively cut the price of FSD in half since, currently, there is no significant functional difference between EAP and FSD. By paying an additional $6000 over the price of EAP you are locking in the price of having fully autonomous driving at some indefinite future date. Is that a wise decision? I think it is because when (not if) Level 4 Autopilot is achieved, the price for FSD will become significantly higher. If you have any thought of owning a fully autonomous car for personal use or to create an income stream by joining Tesla's future network of robotaxis, the price of FSD will never be cheaper.
FSD won't be fully functioning for at least 5-10 years. Unfortunately FSD goes with the car, not the car driver.
@@FreakOfMeds No way it will take that long.
@@MsAjax409 When we talk about "Full self driving", it means that you will be allowed to take your hands off the wheel, and not pay attention to the road at all times while driving. Tesla will have to assume any responsibility if an accident happens during that time. Otherwise it is a fancy gimmick. It will absolutely take 5-10 years to get there.
@@FreakOfMeds I agree, but as far as the timing to achieve FSD, you're entitled to your opinion, and I mine. I'm a Tesa FSD Beta user. I think you are way too pessimistic.
@@MsAjax409 We shall see.
Do you keep having to buy it again every time you update your vehicle ? (Remember that using it is likely to cause frustration to others)
Yes, it stays with the vehicle and not the owner.
Start from 4 mins 40 secs
It's a con to bolster Elon's $$€€££'s
Still in beta and stays with the car, not the owner.
You’re giving money to a billionaire CEO no matter what car you buy
@@jb17415 The others manufacturers don't lie and con do they?
Remember it was going be working years ago, and earning you 30k as a robot robotaxi lol
@@stuartburns8657 you heard it here. Other CEOs/car companies don’t lie. Only Musk/Tesla 🤣
I fail to see what all the hoopla is about EAP. A Kia Ioniq 5 Limited does everything EAP does except Auto summon and Navigate on Autopilot. And for $25k less. Plus, the Kia has some very desirable features that are available o the Tesla such a cooled seats, a killer 360 view system, front and rear cross traffic alert. I definitely won't be adding EAP to my MY.
As an owner of a 2019 MS with EAP, I can say it’s a smart decision. Lane changes on autopilot are not comfortable and I tend to disable it before changing lanes due to the “jerking”. The auto park feature has never been used as it can never successfully park the car. If you live in Europe, get the basic and you’re more than fine, invest the rest of the money in Tesla stocks.
Sorry but I remain steadfastly opposed to any form of FSD. I don't trust AI in any form.
