Are you serious?
Autopilot
Full Self Driving
“Our cars will travel from the east coast to west coast of the US without any human intervention by 2017”

Scroll down to the feature add-ons.
Full Self-Driving Capability
$12,000
Your car will be able to drive itself almost anywhere with minimal driver intervention and will continuously improve
All functionality of Basic Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot
Autosteer on city streets
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.
