That's about the price they run from tesla. If you wait, it will go down a few hundred a day, but someone else might pick it up

I would recommend a Tesla with mcu 2 if you can afford one.

I thought AP2 was MC2? How do you know?

until Oct 2016: AP1 and MCU1
10/2016 - 8/2017: AP2 and MCU1
8/2017 - 3/2018: AP2.5 and MCU1
3/2018 - 3/2019: AP2.5 and MCU2
3/2019 - current: AP3 and MCU2

Nope. See above post.

Is AP1 better or AP2? I've seen posts that say 1 is better VS 2 (not 2.5)

This vehicle has AP2.

AP1 vehicles have less sensors and cameras and can't be upgraded to HW3 (aka FSD computer), whereas this (supposedly) can be upgraded, though Tesla have not yet started updating HW2 vehicles to HW3.

AP1 was better when AP2 was new. I did extended drives with both and AP2 is superior hands down. AP1 is almost unusable in local roads. Only way that would limit me to AP1 is budget

That many miles would be a hard no for me. Even if it had under 10,000 miles, that's too much money for older tech and not much discount.

I have a June, 2017 model S. It's a great car, but 73k is a little steep for the older tech. The MCU1 isn't great anymore, and it's slowing down as time goes on. I'd definitely go for an S with an MCU1 in the 30-40k range, but the X still hasn't dropped in price yet.

With FSD purchased, isn't Tesla committed to upgrade the AP2 vehicles to latest hardware?

They are. It's not a question of if, but when............ Keep in mind that the AP2 and MCU1/2 are separate computers. The AP2 -> FSD computer will be upgraded, which should enable "full self driving". The MCU1 will not be upgraded, and the jury is still out if you'll ever be able to upgrade it at all.

I’d rather pay 85k for a new one. Join Tesla showroom deals fb page. You can find a lot better deal there. Your looking at a high mileage X for 71k. That’s insane

I have both AP1 and AP3 and have to disagree with your comment. AP1 is outstanding on local roads and we use it all the time with zero issues plus it is smoother on the highway. AP1 never has the AP2/AP2.5/AP3 "panic" braking events when it sees highway signs. Tesla’s newer system has definitely closed the gap and I’m sure they will continue to improve it on newer AP systems, AP2 systems have also now been orphaned in favor of the 2.5 and 3.0 hardware. If they had continued to update the AP1 systems with the features they had promised "by the end of year" it would have been hard to beat but time goes on.

I agree
