Here’s Everything That Just Went Down at Tesla

(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc. introduced dozens of changes to its product lineup and business model. You can read about them here, here and here. Or, you can check out this list of everything that just went down:

Autopilot—Price Changes and New Features

  • Tesla restructured its two Autopilot plans. Basic Autopilot will now cost $3,000, compared with $5,000 for the previous “Enhanced Autopilot” package, but it also has fewer features. It’s now mostly adaptive cruise control with auto steering.
  • The other features were pushed into the “Full Self Driving” feature package, which costs $8,000. With that comes Autopark, “Navigate on Autopilot” and a new feature called “Summon,” where your car will come find you “anywhere in a parking lot.” That feature will debut “imminently,” Musk said. 
  • Tesla now advertises on its website that, later this year, the Full Self Driving option will be able to recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs, and be able to “drive automatically on city streets.” Musk is two years behind in his promise for Full Self Driving features.
  • Musk said the developer version he drives already does these things and also make its own turns.
  • Some self-driving safety advocates will take issue with Tesla calling its feature set “Full Self Driving” since active driver supervision still is required.
