    Hey everyone. How do you tell what version you have on your car? I am having a hard time finding out where/how to find it.

    Other than the build date, there is no way to tell for sure without taking the car apart. When was yours built?

    I thought it would be, but TeslaFi is recognizing it as AP 2.0 which prompted my confusion and question.

    I think you’d have to get the service centre to confirm. From all I’ve read it’s not easy to know. Sounds like it wasn’t a definitive switch over on the assembly line and there may be some of overlap. I plan on asking the SC my next visit. I have a MX 8/2017.

    By following the car, I can tell if it's human driver, AP1, or AP2, for real.

    Does AP2.5 should have a in-cabin camera? or not necessary?!

    I hope the Model 3 Gear selector will make its way into model x/s

    It's "how do you tell?" not "how do you say?" :D

    Be cool,
    Any new Tesla ordered after 08/10/17 will ship with HW ("Hardware") 2.5, though still designated as AP2.

    I wouldn’t worry.
    At the current state of affairs there is no practical difference for the user between a 2.0 and 2.5 car.
    If upgraded HW will be required to achieve the advertised EAP / FSD features, and you have purchased the features, Tesla will upgrade your HW FOC.

    I took delivery in Oct 2017. With the recent v9 update, I don't have the dashcam feature. So I guess I have hardware 2.0. Bummer!!!

    I just tweeted Elon and Tesla about this. I would think they would upgrade those with 2.0 in order to make the dashcam feature work since that is a version 9 / EAP feature.

    What are differences between 2.0 and 2.5? Is it only the computer board?
