All the hardware is already installed on the car, it just needs to be unlocked by purchasing the subscription in the app. The Full Self Driving package is also unlockable via a software subscription.

I know all of this but I'm not sure why you're telling me...

FSB will be out of beta soon,

LOL what are you talking about? Where are you getting this from? Elon? Autopilot isn't even out of Beta...

It’s one of the main reasons people buy a Telsa

It's absolutely not. Of the few people I know who actually bought it, they were pretty much all disappointed and regretted it.

As for “according to whom” - you replied to my comment about my experience with autopilot. So according to me.

I replied to your claim that the engineer was speaking specifically about "Enhanced Autopilot" as opposed to what the article refers to as "Autopilot". Why are you trying to dodge my question?

What is your source for that? Because everything I can see says "autopilot".

Advanced autopilot did some frightening stuff during the little time I spent driving a model 3.

Once again, there's no such thing as "advanced autopilot", and once again, that's not what we're discussing.
