If you have the choice buy a ‘16 refresh Model S because you get the all the new looks and all the versatility of the Model S. We have 3 S’s, two are AP1’s, one is an AP2.5, plus an AP1 X. I can attest from experience that you should be more than satisfied with the AP1. I’d recommend buying an earlier refresh 2016 because you can save some dollars getting AP1, plus you will get transferable Supercharging with flawless AP1 performance compared to sometimes glitchy AP2. I believe the hype of AP2 is way overblown and totally undeserving, thus the discounted AP1 prices make them a steal. As all cars continue to depreciate the actual difference in price between the AP’s get smaller so take advantage of the difference now and get the nicest low mile car you can find for the money. Refresh 2016’s are still eligible for factory extended warranties as long as they are less than 51,000 miles since original delivery mileage. Many argue that the extended warranty is questionable on the payback and they do have a point with the 8 year unlimited warranty being standard on battery and drivetrain you may never attain a payback for the expense.
