It does have Navigate on Autopilot (and Auto Lane Change), and on long trips, it's been able to switch lanes & take the correct exit to switch to a different highway, etc. It pretty much let me daydream / think about other stuff while on the highway while keeping a finger on the steering wheel.

Sadly, it does shut itself off as soon as you're off a highway however. (That's where FSD would hypothetically come in, once the beta is ready, with "Autosteer on city streets").

In terms of value for money:

  - I'd say Auto Lane Change is worth $1,500.

  - Navigate on Autopilot is worth another $1,500.

  - Autopark is worth $1,000.

  - Smart Summon is worth $5,00

Overall, Enhanced Autopilot is worth at least $4,500 methinks.

Throw in $1,500 as a profit margin (or Elon tax), so he can burn some dinosaurs for his private jet flights, the $6,000 Enhanced Autopilot price point makes sense.

FSD, otoh, is absolutely not worth it.

What does that work out to, in terms of dollars per lane change for the duration of ownership? Would you feel the same if you were feeding dollar bills into a feeder each time you changed lanes? Quarters?

Auto lane change is the only feature I value out of EAP / FSD subscription and I can't justify $200/month because it works out to multiple dollars per lane change.

You shouldn't be daydreaming on Navigate on Autopilot. Its only Level 2, you're supposed to be ready take the wheel in a second or two. You're supposed to still be actively paying attention to the road, constantly.
