Does this 2014 Tesla have AP?

I was browsing online and saw a 2014 Tesla Model S that appeared to have AP sensors in both the front and rear bumper. However, the car did not have Autopilot as an option in the menu. I assumed if AP isn't in the menu then the car doesn't have the hardware.

Is that true? Maybe the bumpers were just replacements from a previous repair?
 
There are some 2014 cars from before AP that had front and rear parking sensors. If you don’t see the radar below the front bumper, this is probably one of those.

Just to expand on that a bit, any Autopilot-equipped car from 2014 will be a pre-refresh Model S with AP1...distinguishing features will be a single autopilot camera in the upper portion of the windscreen (approximately in front of the rear-view mirror) and a square vertical surface below the nosecone, behind which is the radar unit. By themselves, the existence of parking sensors don't tell very much about whether the car has Autopilot hardware or not.
