Tesla Increases The Price Of The Constantly Crashing Autopilot Feature To Better Reflect Value

Yesterday, the same day Tesla announced its new 100 kWh battery pack for the new Model S and Model X P100D, Tesla also quietly increased the price of the Autopilot by $500. The news comes just two weeks after we reported that Tesla is working on new Autopilot sensors.

The price increase would seem to hint at Tesla introducing the new sensors in the vehicle right now, but the company claims otherwise.

When asked about Tesla’s Autopilot program during a conference call about the introduction of the 100 kWh battery pack yesterday, CEO Elon Musk refused to answer any question about it, but the price increase wasn’t known at the time.

@Agent009: where in the original article did it say "constantly crashing Autopilot" ?

We get it. You don't like Tesla. The good news is you can still buy a GM product instead. Probably can get a deal on one of those Cadillac ELRs these days.

The spies don't like any electrics, it threatens their masculinity ;)

"Constantly crashing"? Talk about misleading hype. Of all he Teslas on he road, how many have crashed due to AutoPilot (not due to stupid operator decisions, like watching a DVD instead of controlling the vehicle)?
