Er, what? Go to https://www.tesla.com/model3, click on buy, next, next. You should see: "Autopilot Included". The car costs $39,500.

You have to call in to get the actual base model - they removed the option to order it from the website.

Yes, I ignored that one. The $39,500 model with autopilot is right on the website. It's not the promised $35k model, but it does include autopilot.

If something is "zero extra cost" I would expect the base model to have it.

Beyond that, what you looked at used to cost $37,500 with autopilot as an optional $3k addon. Now it always includes autopilot but costs $2k more. Again, not exactly "zero extra cost".
