How Important/Valuable is Autosteer

I just got my first Tesla - a 2026 model Y performance RWD so I’m less asking on what to do and more curious the consensus amongst the veterans in this community.

I was pretty committed to buying a 2026 model Y with the Juniper refresh and the .99 APR was too tasty until last second I realized it longer included Autosteer. After some research I realized there are some used 2026 model Ys that have it before it was discontinued.

I was committed to having Autosteer on the car - especially if it’s the last line of Tesla’s that have it and it has the 2026 Juniper refresh. I thought maybe it would add some resale value to the car if I ever decided to sell it (although I’m in love with the car and don’t imagine I will).

I’m on the 1st month of the free FSD and can’t imagine life without it now. But told myself I’d have months where I didn’t subscribe to it if I wasn’t driving that much.

How do you guys feel about Autosteer? Is it a good alternative to FSD once you’re on the freeway?

How important/valuable is Autosteer?

I just got my first Tesla - a 2026 model Y performance RWD so I’m less asking on what to do and more curious the consensus amongst the veterans in this community.

I was pretty committed to buying a 2026 model Y with the Juniper refresh and the .99 APR was too tasty until last second I realized it longer included Autosteer. After some research I realized Elon said Tesla’s will no longer include Autosteer but when searching the used inventory on the Tesla website I noticed some 2026 models still had Autosteer listed as a feature. Turns out halfway through the production of the 2026 line Elon decided to remove Autosteer to encourage everyone to subscribe to the monthly FSD.
