I’m in the market for a model 3 - my first ever Tesla. However, I don’t know if I should be looking for a 2025 model 3 or a new 2026.

I know the 26 comes with the turn signal stalk and front camera, but is it worth losing autopilot?

Could I not just get the retrofit for the 25 model 3 and have a superior car with autopilot (as I don’t want to pay for FSD)? Or is the front camera worth it?
