This was exactly the video I needed. Straight to the point, no flashiness or filler. Just honest information. Great vid!

Short and sweet. Straight to the point. Thanks for making this video

I have EAP, the only useful feature I've found is the lane changing which is really nice unless you're in traffic, then it's a bit too conservative. Aggressive drivers following closely behind cars will prevent you from changing lanes, and the car brakes hard or jerks back into the land if any cars are even moderately close. Self parking hardly ever works, maybe 1/10 times I get the option to use it. My driveway is too steep to use summon on if I want to shift my car, and the app takes forever to start summoning so I've only found one situation where it was marginally helpful. I backed closer to a charger with my hitch bike rack. Smart summon is a gimmick in my opinion, as it's really slow and I don't trust it in a parking lot. Just my two cents!

Awesome video, thanks for the breakdown!

Awesome presentation, very clear and comprehensive 👏🏻

Thanks for this video I definitely understand now and know better to when i buy my car!

A person with neck troubles will love the Auto lane change feature(no more looking for blind spots and twisting neck uncomfortably in the process). It is sad that the RADAR and ultrasonic sensors are removed from an already lacking set of virtual sensors(low res cameras with insufficient angle of view). I feel it was done to improve cost margin and to reduce supply chain issues than anything else. We need intelligent sensors not commodity cameras adapted for machine vision, to make FSD a reality.

Thank you. I'm a new Tesla owner and ordered a LR Model Y a day after the big price drop. I'm cautiously hopeful that the engineers can work out Tesla Vision with the available hardware on the new cars. Until then I decided to remove EAP from my order to save the $. Thanks for the overview. We take delivery in a couple weeks!

great video loved how you got straight to the point!

Best explanation ever. Great voice. So explanatory for a foreigner.

Very helpful, thank you

I have long highway drives from Maryland through Pennsylvania to Ohio to check on my Mom every couple of weeks in my ‘23 model Y - (love this amazing vehicle) - I use the standard autopilot frequently on these highways - but I have noticed a couple things that make me nervous; clearly the Tesla cameras do not pickup the speed limit signs very accurately, never when the sign is yellow with warning of curving roads ahead - the approach to highway toll gates is definitely not recognized and I must always disengage well ahead of any Highway toll booth areas (the PA turnpike is a cash cow for someone) - work-zone speed reductions signs are not recognized and the autopilot will happily send me 70 mph into a 50 mph work zone (not cool) *** also since the sw update last week my wipers come on for no reason while in autopilot and can only be turned off by disengaging autopilot (truly frustrating, but I am confident they will correct that soon)

TY for the video

I have EAP and I use it daily. It definitely has it quirks, but when it works it takes some stress out of my day. I also use the summon feature to move the car in and out of the garage. My auto park rarely ever works. I actually didn’t realize it until 2 months into ownership that it offered auto park 😂

I purchased one with EAP. In transit. I think I made the right choice as FSD isn’t really FSD at the moment.

Just got a 2023 Model 3, and I have to say I can't even begin to understand why regular summon is disabled. Smart summon, yea I get that, but the ability to move the car ten feet in a perfectly straight line has no earthly reason to need USS. Mind truly boggled.

Thanks for breaking this down. Those added features are definitely not worth $6000 to me. maybe $1000...

I'm in the tesla website right now and all three of those things u mentioned are definitely part of the $6k package

I loved using smart summon when I got the FSD subscription, I wish the (actually) smart summon update came out, I’d probably buy enhanced autopilot just for that tbh, as well as the other things of course, or at least subscribe to it more often.

Nice 👍 info

In Switzerland, Enhanced Autopilot is CHF 3'700, which is around 4'000 US $ I went for it, will get my Model 3 in March.

thanks for video.. I guess I have to hold on until Tesla Vision works.

Autopilot (Tesla's marketing for ADAS) -Lane tracing assist -Adaptive cruise control Enhanced Autopilot -Lane tracing assist -Adaptive cruise control -Auto lane-change -Auto-park -Navigate on AutoPilot (Tesla's name for lane suggestion) -Summon (Tesla's name for remote forward/backwards movement) -Smart summon (Tesla's name for remote smart exit assist) Autopilot is the standard suite available on all cars from the Honda Civic to the Bugatti Chiron. Enhanced autopilot is similar to the ADAS features available on most EVs aside from some.

I thought the map looked familiar. Then I saw Madonna and realized you were literally driving right by my house on 96 😂

Well done.

For as many months that Tesla hasn't supplied you with the all the features offered when you first purchased EAP they should add at no cost FSD for those same amount of month's! Why pay for something you never got and have to wait (it's been almost 4 month's now) for them to release all the features you paid for and had to drive your vehicle without them, just saying...

How do you get the more detailed screen? We rented a tesla and it showed much more of the surrounding like vehicles coming the other way, vehicles at the intersection driving perpendicular, more detail of the road etc? Do you have to buy FSD for that or is it a function you have to enable somehow?

Thank you for this video and differences. Well this is a no brainer for me what I would get. If I purchase a Tesla model Y vehicle in 2024, I would just get the basic Auto Pilot. Why, because I don't drive on the better marked Freeways where EAP functions - I only drive around towns being retired. I don't need the Summons or the Auto Park features since I have never done that kind of parking for a long long time. So spending 6000 dollars on something I would never get use of would be pointless to me. But it is very nice to know what EAP actually does. Seems some of the features are not available anyway because of no sensors on the vehicles. Take care.

Not worth $6k at this time. We need the vision to replace the sensors they took out.

I bought a used 2018 Model 3 with EAP, my car gives me the option on the app to use summon, do cars that came with the ultrasonic sensors still have access to the 3 features that the cars post 2022 don't?

I still would like to see how bad the lack of USS is. If you could make a partially detailed review on it im sure not only would it help me but hundreds of others decide on whether to buy a tesla or wait on it.

I purchased a Model 3 with Enhanced Auto Pilot in Nov 2022. Should be, but Auto Park and Summon isn't available. Any word when this feature will be implemented?

I like the stop sign and light coming to a full stop at the intersection. So far it works great.

if they removed 3/5 they really should drop the price accordingly.. but yea.. ill buy basic now and upgrade at a later date if i feel the need for it.. TM3 owner here getting my second tesla car, TMY to begin with norway doesnt get smart summon anyways and our summon is bluetooth controlled.. i believe it uses wifi in the states? so the range is massively different.

Funny how Tesla divided it into two tiers when they could have just made it a simple Yes or No. 6K for autopilot is even expensive for such an experimental program

yeah I oped to go with spending the 5k in costs in Australia (AUD nor USD not sure why its cheaper to get in Australia thatn the U.S.) But instead of getting this i decided on just geting the red colour and 19 inch alloys. Since my first model 3 will be picked up on the 18th of March I don't know what to expect over time or if I would want to use those features.

Thanks. Saving your $15k rn

I’m opting to SUBSCRIBE to FSD for the 3 or 4 long road trips a year. I subscribed on May 22nd and got enrolled in FSD beta. We took a 2K mile road trip and I believe it drove about 50% of the total distance. While it didn’t cause any accidents or get us into trouble there were times it performed like a 15 year-old student driver and other time it was PERFECT. So I’ll continue to “rent” it for $600 to $800/year.

Wish I saw this two weeks ago. Just picked up M3 with EAP because I do a lot of city driving with tons of parallel parking and thought this would be cool feature. Picked car up this week and all I can tell I got for that $6k is ability for car to navigate lane changes on highways which I'm very rarely on. Matter of fact not sure it works as I haven't been on highway with it yet. I guess you could say the other advantage is FSD would only cost me $99. But at this point, you're still not going to get any of the autopark/summon features. what would I even gain going fsd and paying another $99/month?

Recent updates make Autopilot nag more than a nervous grandmother in the right seat.

There is news floating around that HW4 is coming for Tesla Vision to work, so why take away functions from EAP for people who have the USS (ultra sonic sensors) or remove them from present new cars that only have HW3 with parts removed?? Somethings is not adding up here.

Does the auto pilot definitions change for 2017 Model S? I am getting confuse on them now cause some say it is different and some say it is as same as 2019 model

When does the update for Summon come out?

Is EAP just as prone to phantom braking as regular AP?

Do you know when auto park smart summon summon are coming to model 3

4:20 actually only North America and some euro countries have removed ultro sonic sensors. But in Australia and many asian countries the ultra sonic sensors remain by law on all 2023 models of tesla model 3 and Y. So we still have par asists summon and all features. I don't know why Tesla likes to take features away from Americans first lol, but they always have a hard time in Australia to remove features.

Does it stop and start the car with basic autopilot based on cruise control in traffic?

Question I am trying to confirm if EAP is purchased that I would still have the option to purchase FSD for additional 9K (based on todays rates) seems like a no brainer but at the same time assume nothing 😂

I am in the market for a new car. I can’t decide between a Tesla Model 3 or a Hyundai Sonata. The Sonatas highest trim, limited, is much less money and comes with a lot more luxury than the Tesla model 3. It also has adaptive cruise with a full 360 camera and lane keep assist plus Apple CarPlay which I’ve grown to enjoy in my current car. But, Tesla offers many more driving assist features if I pay for them and of course is an EV. Picking a new car feels impossible because they all offer their own benefits.

From my understanding FSD will be $200 a month when it's finally out. Not sure why people don't just go that route instead of paying one large sum of money.

Own a 2022 Y LR. The front ultrasonic sensors did not work when I bought the car then worked for a while but once again are not working. They are needed for Park Assist which tells me how close I am to “stuff” at the front of my garage. I have a Service Center appointment to fix the problem. Tesla may not be putting the sensors in new cars but older cars have them and I believe they will still work - or why would they give me an appointment. Tesla disappoints concerning those sensors. Most cars have some form of Rear Cross Traffic Monitor which is very helpful when backing out of a space when your vision is blocked by adjacent vehicles BUT Tesla has never had that feature, a significant safety deficiency. Now without the ultrasonic sensors it looks like they will never have the feature. Very disappointing. My wife’s 2017 Honda CRV has the feature. It is about time Tesla took care of that safety need. Regarding Autopilot, EAP and FSD, one disadvantage is that they place the car in the center of your lane. When I am on the highway and alongside a big truck I will cheat and go off center in order to be safer. The system does not take that into account, so I rarely use anything other than Traffic Aware Cruise Control.

Since Tesla got rid of radar, self driving has got worse with an increasing number of accidents involving motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Consumer Reports now places Tesla's SD as seventh with Ford's BlueCruise as the best.

As it stands today, none of the extra features work without USS. Lane change still requires driver intervention. Summon does not work. Phantom braking is a real thing. I tried the $200 subscription for 1 month and cancelled it. It is just not ready for mass consumer use.

That suspicious eyes 👀 though.

6 thousand dollars! Didnt they do a pre order years ago for full self driving for that price? I sure hope this isn't the replacement because oof.

Picked up a used 2018 model s with enhanced auto pilot already installed so I basically got it for free.

Yeah, I can change lanes and exit. not worth the $6k to me.

I tried the monthly autopilot for $199/month just for 1month. Just to try But Barely use any features on auto pilot that i paid. Not worth it for me

Good content…. Can’t help but feel judged because of all the squinting 🤨

I can switch lane my own , save the $6k

You can also try is by subscribing to this feature for $200 a month

voltage glitching= FSD unlock

When ordering enhanced auto pilot why are they charging $6000

Bro, are you staring into the sun?

You're a good speaker so there is no need for those jump takes. Super distracting.

I have FSD but don't benefit from it because I don't have USS ;(

Why do you keep calling it otter pilot?

Yeah... difference between a stupidity and a bigger stupidity which it all means this question: how do you want to pass away? 😏

The difference?: how many pedestrian do you want to put at risk?

One day Tesla will charge for “ enhanced tire air” and it’s cult will pay for it 😂😂😂

Man forget that cheap ass “enhanced “ BS , get the dang beta FSD. Pishhh , unless you enjoy almost sideswiping parked Amazon delivery trucks 🚚 or constantly having to actually pay attention like a caveman .

I just want to fully depend on selfdriving so that i can pull up to work asleep or no longer use uber when going out for drinks 🥹
