It's a little high, compared to the last couple of cars I purchased with those features. Want to say that $3k was more in line with what I paid for a full safety/tech package, and that included a speaker/nav bump, etc.
Keep in mind that most cars (including my two examples) only really have lane centering and adaptive cruise, though, as far as driver-assistance features go. Tesla's ability to change lanes and do basic highway nav is above and beyond the norm. I'd probably pay another $2k for that. Also, the way most of these packages work, you often can't get them a la carte--they're on top of another package, so the effective cost might actually be $5k depending on how that's structured.
Paying $3k for vapor that won't arrive before I sell the car/return the lease would piss me off, though.
