Good morning. Autopilot comes with every Tesla sold. It is not an option. Autopilot is a combination of traffic aware cruise control (TACC) and Autosteer or as some manufacturers call it “lane keeping”. It will keep its distance from the vehicle in front of you and steer your car on roads and highways as long as there are lines. Not useable in cities yet.
FSD is full self drive. It will do everything that autopilot does plus things like
- Stop at stop signs, crosswalks with lights, stop lights etc.
- Navigate on autopilot. Essentially you tell it an address and it will take you there. Eg. It will make all the interchange turns and exits needed for you. It will automatically pass slower vehicles on multi lane highways etc. It will auto park. You can summon it. Etc etc. It does not make turns in cities yet. My experience has been mostly good with it. I don’t trust summon. Too gimmicky for me. I don’t use auto park so can’t really comment. Does a nice job with exits and merges etc but it takes some getting used to. I still get some phantom braking going under overpasses with shadows etc. Nothing serious. Autopilot is useful, FSD not as much.
Tesla’s website gives a better description than mine.
Again. Autopilot comes with the car. FSD costs money and there are two different levels of purchase.
And just to add to above, the only Tesla that doesn’t come with Autopilot is the 35000 Unicorn car. It has just straight old dumb cruise control. Which is why most people spend the extra 3000 bucks for the standard range plus model. SR plus. The Unicorn car for 35000 has to be ordered off menu with a purchase agent. There are a few around here. People buy them as city cars etc. Still nice but not the fancy stereo and and a little less range etc.
Hope that helps.
