[SoCalTezla]

Hi All -

i did a search and didn't find much - but what are the main differences between a 2016.5 vs 2017 Model S?

From what i understand:
New nose cone 2016.5 onward
AP 2 10/2016 - Aug 2017
AP 2.5 Sept 2017 - March 2019
Both have MCU 1
Glass/Pano roof were options
Air suspension was standard for late 2017's?


Thanks!

Too bad it isn't updated. S lost free transferable supercharging in Jan 2017. Also lost 72A charging option June 2017.

I know. I was so excited when I found this after buying my August 2017 build. When I got to July 2017 and it ended I couldn’t figure out where the rest of it was...

Most of the 2016.5's still have the Brembo brakes (4-caliper rear) - changeover was around December?

2016 had 3 variations from what I recall. Old nosecone and new nosecone with AP 1.0 and 2.0.

For example I know of a Model S Sep-Oct/2016 - had a new nosecone but AP1.0! My friend bought one like that and he was kicking himself for not waiting a month...and mad at tesla for not telling him anything about a new autopilot version coming soon
