Enhanced Autopilot

Enhanced Autopilot now available for purchase for $6k
The best bang for your money Autopilot package is now back for all cars in all (most?) countries. In the US, you can add it to your Tesla for $6k, this would give you all the features that the FSD package offers today, except for traffic and stop sign control, potential access to the FSD Beta, or in the future, autosteering in city streets. If you purchase this package, you can add FSD for $6k until Tesla raises the price again, or subscribe for $99 / month. You can buy it directly on your Tesla app, under Upgrades, Software Updates.

Final update: '21 Model Y Tesla HEPA retrofit 📷
We talked about this retrofit a few newsletters ago, now this is the final update of the DIY Model Y HEPA Retrofit. Honestly, if someone offers this at a decent price, I will most likely get it for my Model Y.

Tesla Apple CarPlay for any Tesla 📷
With a Raspberry Pi and some Open Source software, you can add Apple CarPlay to your Tesla. Personally, I don't think I need a CarPlay integration, but I've seen folks asking for this in the past, if you are the tinkerer type, this might be for you.
