Tesla Model S and X owners can now trial Autopilot before buying it

Tesla owners can now test their car's Autopilot feature before committing $2,500 to keep the feature.

Those who purchased the Model S or Model X after 2014 have gotten to experience Tesla's hardware Autopilot, which includes safety features like automatic braking, lane switching and blind spot warnings. But in January, the company rolled out some sweet convenience features, like self-parallel parking and the ability to summon your car.

To get those convenience features, Tesla owners have to drop $2,500. But Tesla is now offering owners the ability to test the feature for an entire month before committing to purchasing it. The reason Tesla can offer a trial is because the convenience features can get pushed through via a software update, meaning Tesla owners can turn it on or off at anytime.

Chances are, testers will find a way to scrounge up an extra two grand.
