Tesla Autopilot vs Enhanced Autopilot vs FSD | What's the Difference?

[@sleepkeeper42069]

Regular Autopilot will not stop at intersections or follow traffic signs. It should not be relied upon for anything other than highway driving. Treat it like extended cruise control. The Enhanced Autopilot is a partial FSD that works only on highway driving. FSD works in all driving settings, but is not perfect yet for street driving. Thanks for your demonstrations.

[@Trust_but_Verify]

Is there any feature difference between FSD and EAP while driving on highway with navigate on autopilot on? Or does it behave exactly the same?

[@sleepkeeper42069]

@@Trust_but_Verify On the highway, I believe it is exactly the same. I have FSD on one vehicle, and regular AP on a new 2023 M3 Standard Range RWD. Mostly using the M3 for around town and commute to work, so I don't think I'll need to spend $15k on FSD. My other car with FSD is our roadtrip car, and wouldn't want to travel without it!!

[@brucetec6597]

I have EAP and I was always wondering why it cost 6k but I never used it on the highway yet to see the navigate feature. I guess I'll have to try it out to see if it works.

[@billshepherd1710]

great video, very helpful. My parents just purchased a Model Y, they are in their late 70's. They bought the Full self driving feature. I'm concerned that they will try to rely on that too much. this video has helped me understand the differences to help guide them and temper their expectations.

[@Mike-jq9jo]

You should be. Tell them to be careful.

[@MXALOVE]

It just dawned on me that you could pay 200$ a month and try all these features for however long you want instead of paying 6-12K up front. I would probably only do it once a year though because you don't need the extra features.

[@626fp]

That feature isn't available on my Ylr 2023

[@GeraldGardner-t4h]

Great job demonstrating these features. I learn a lot from your relatively short videos.

Thanks so much. I am a novice Ev owner of Model Y 2024. Extremely helpful video. I got the Trial run for FSD beta. Oh boy. ! First two days were a disaster. ( Evidently I was only in Auto Steer/Auto Pilot, while thinking it was FSD.) Until I found your video. You explained how the double click twice was needed to engage FSD. The instruction they sent me to engage FSD was very unclear on that issue. Tesla Manual did not mention blue lines on screen would indicate FSD was engaged, as your video showed. Thanks.

[@Trust_but_Verify]

10:15 Would love it to find a parking spot and park. Dispatch a drone for aerial view or beam down current satellite snapshot of available parking space. Maybe need HW 8 for that.

[@donharris8846]

Great video. Seems like the second tier isn’t as valuable as the first and third. The first, being free, does a decent enough job of navigating a single lane on the highway, while the second tier does about the same on the highway but just changes lanes for you for $6,000. The FSD appears to be the real deal but with a very hefty price tag.

[@Nick-px7gv]

Ditto! Doesn't justify the price tag for partial navigation only on highways where you are as such not changing so much wish FSD was little more reasonable

[@zunnen4347]

second tier (enhanced autopilot) is good enough, it gives you the hardware for fsd so you can still buy it later

[@Josh_17360]

Hit it on the head with this. I rather stick with my autopilot as apposed to enhanced

[@Mike-jq9jo]

[@karimfejry7282]

Well done, I like the comparison! Would you recommend the FSD given the price?

[@michaelg503]

Great video - easy to understand and explained some important features. It looks like Autopilot (AP) and Enhanced AP (EAP) were activated while driving (single pull-down of 'shifter' for AP and a double pull-down for EAP (for a total of 3 pull-downs)). However, you activated the FSD function while at a stand still also using the double pull-down process. Can FSD be activated while you're already on the road driving? If so, how is this accomplished if EAP was activated with the double pull-down function of the shifter?

[@harvmall]

does the FSD has the complete package of enhanced autopilot like the summons and auto park features? and may we know what would you suggest as your preferences? by the way, you have so far the best to explain all these tesla confusing features. short but précised . great job.. keep it sir.

U are really good at explaining the differences💪🏽 thnx from Denmark

[@taaskeprins]

Great vid, thx. I am driving the model 3 2023 for almost a year now. I have enhanced autopilot (EAP) installed. There is still no update for self parking and smart summon in Europe (Netherlands). This version relies on Tesla Vision so has no radar sensors. With heavy rain the cameras get blocked or give a muddy view. Before parking, I then have to get out and clean the camera. Does not happen very often though. FSD is according to my experience still very far away because of the frequent gost breaking. When in a new environment and there are cars close behind I usually switch of EAP. Gost breaking occurs usually at the same location (MAX is switched back to a lower km/h for no visible reason). Don't misunderstand me, this is a great car that drives very comfortable. But there are quirks......

[@JustFrugalMe]

Absolutely, the Tesla Model 3 2023 with Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) has some incredible features, but it seems like there are still a few challenges, especially in terms of the self-parking and smart summon updates in Europe. The reliance on Tesla Vision without radar sensors does have its limitations, especially in heavy rain affecting the camera view. The intermittent ghost braking can indeed be unsettling, especially in new environments or when cars are close behind. It's great to hear that despite these quirks, the driving experience remains comfortable overall.

[@quintonpace2311]

I'm considering advanced auto pilot after watching your video. Great, BTW. Had a windshield replaced at a Tesla dealership, and was given a 30 day trial of FSD? No a fan yet :) (2019 Model S)

[@drmichaellum]

My most recent Model S (2024) came with basic autopilot. What happens when someone cuts into your lane because they don't see you. Does the advanced autopilot take evasive action? Does it honk? Does it slam on the brakes?

[@guy7622]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@GrndHogDay]

Thanks. I appreciate the very informative video. I’m looking for a used Model 3. Looking at the software screen, how can you tell which version the car has - FSD, EAP, or AP?

[@JustFrugalMe]

You should be listed on the menu where the software upgrade. It will tell you to subscriptions to the car has on it already.

[@Mike-jq9jo]

Dude, did you swap out your steering wheel???

Smart Summon can drive directly to your person by using the proper button on the top right while in the Summon screen on the app. You probably knew that, but just fyi.

[@Mike-jq9jo]

EXCEPT that feature recently got turned off and this is as of Oct 2023. Dunno when it will return. Do you?

[@Str8ABH]

@@Mike-jq9jo Do you have a Hardware 4.0 vehicle? Smart summon nor regular summon are supported as of yet on Hardware 4.0 vehicles. If you aren’t sure what you have, just take a look at the various cameras around the vehicle and check and see if they have a red reflective nature in the lens. If they do, they are the latest variation of cameras that Tesla offers and they aren’t trained the same yet as the previous generation Hardware 3.0 cameras. It’s rumored to be supported before the end of 2023, but take that with a grain of salt.

[@Jakepp235]

Another question about FSD does it require that you are touching the steering wheel every 30 seconds or so like autopilot

[@JustFrugalMe]

FSD primarily relies on the internal camera, but you still need to give a slight nudge to the steering wheel. It appears that whenever you divert your attention from the road, even for a moment to adjust the radio, it triggers a beep.

[@johnkramer745]

Planing on buying either a 2023 M3 (used with 11k miles on it) with enhanced autopilot for $2k less than a new 2024 MY (both SR). one big difference is the M3 will have LFP batteries as against the NCM on the MY. the LFP coupled with enhanced autopilot is making me lean towards the M3 but i think the MY 2024 has better build quality (both are from Fremont, CA factory unfortunately. However, since the MY's battery is supposedly software locked (~20%), the charging to 100% (if needed) is not really the ACTUAL 100% (but mostly 80%). which essentially means charging it daily to 80% will preserve the battery even more. Confusion is an understatement. :(

[@curlytops7]

Is threre a video from freeway to the destination using fsd. Thx

[@JustFrugalMe]

I have more FSD videos on my channel

[@bridge1872]

I have noticed that when I use my autopilot and have a route set to navigation it automatically slows down if I have a turn upcoming on my navigation route Is this new? Or did I just not notice it before?

[@JustFrugalMe]

Yes, autopilot does slow down when there's a turn upcoming on your navigation route. It's a safety feature to ensure smooth and accurate navigation.

[@takkathan]

I bought the 6k enchanted Auto pilot, but somehow didn't have the summon option

[@flaviusdeneanu4963]

One thing I'm asking myself: Where I live, we have a lot of intersections where it would be a green light to go forward, but a red light to take a left. You need to take a left, would the Tesla know that it's a red light for turning left or would it get confused by the going forward green light?

[@NVGEAR]

FSD will know everything, the other two won't.

[@MyUnicornRainbow]

I had never heard of advanced auto pilot. I thought AAP was FSD. Thank you.

[@JustFrugalMe]

Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) features are incredibly intriguing. Autopilot utilizes advanced driver-assist technology, while FSD aims to achieve full autonomy. It's a rapidly evolving field, and there's always something new to learn about their capabilities and potential impact. Keep exploring and stay curious!

[@gmoneii1117]

There’s Basic Auto Pilot(Free), Enhanced Auto Pilot (EAP)= $6k, & Full-Self Driving (FSD)= $15k.

[@hwillia204]

Excellent Video! I use my FSD in my 2022 MY Performance, and I love it… AI self-learning is AWESOME! No blue cruise or supercruise and others are still using essential mapping updates, which is legacy technology. Tesla is way advanced Self Learning AI is doing its thing!

[@naptime7446]

Great video! Just the explanation I was looking for. My current vehicle has the same standard autopilot feature where it stays in the lane and speeds up/slows down depending on the car ahead. My car beeps and will disengage autopilot after about 20 seconds if your hands are not on the wheel. Does the Tesla do that with any of the features in your video or can you keep your hands on your lap the entire time?

[@JustFrugalMe]

Unfortunately all mode require you to nudge the wheel. FSD rely on the internal camera more. FSD will it work if the camera is blocked where with enhanced and regular autopilot I have the camera covered

[@plixie1]

I couldn't pay 6k for the features offered. Let alone 15k for something cant be transferred to another tesla if I sell or wreck it. Now, I will prolly pay 200 a month to play with it, thats for sure.

[@josephinesetyadi9060]

I didn’t know FSD is different than advanced auto pilot. I never even heard of the latter!

[@gmoneii1117]

I think he mean Enhanced Auto Pilot. The difference between EAP & FSD is FSD does everything EAP does, plus the ability to recognize Traffic Lights/Stop Signs Control.

I would suggest to get the FSD subscription versus paying for it up front. If you pay the 15k it is not transferable (for now) if you would sale the car. Then if you decide you don’t want it anymore you can just cancel it. As far as the car, each car has a different “feel” I would recommend setting up test drives (they’re free).

[@dathyr1]

All i can say is, I would just stick with only Basic Auto Pilot. It is free and does what I only need for driving. It is just one small step up from normal cruise control. The other modes are just a waste of allot of money to me. But thanks for the great video and great explanations.

Excellent video but without regard to the technical abilities of the different modes, Elon is smoking way more than MJ! FSD is a $12,000 option (as of 10/2023) and myth that will get you killed and Enhanced Auto Pilot is $6000.00 option that offers little more than turn signal lane change. I am a 2023 Tesla Model Y owner and I LOVE my car but these fees for this tech that Tesla is trying to sell is the definition of utter stupidity! FSD, should it EVER be viable might be worth $5K. The Enhanced Auto Pilot should be standard equipment. Even with the standard AP in my 2023 AP, I ‘ve had phantom braking on multiple occasions. This tech isn’t ready for prime time.
