The 5 and 7 fold flat are not the same. The 7 seaters can slide forward and backward where the 5 is fixed!

Model X noticeable changes from 2016 to now?

Quality issues will never go away. They fix some issues and introduce new ones. Between my 2016 and 2018, I can see that's exactly the case. My 2018 FWDs (both of them) have issues closing, while my 2016 had issue opening. My 2018 hood up front was dented on delivery but I didn't care for it. The panel gaps were as bad as before. The 2018 bench seat button stopped working. Numerous squeaks/squeals after a month or 2, even worse than my 2016.I stand corrected I was talking about AP2.5 mid 2017 ..I held off getting my X for a year so I could specifically get 2.5 and was waiting for all the quality issues to go away ..I had early 2013 S than 2014 S ..and the quality differences were notable ..I’m usually early adopter but in case of Tesla’s glad I wasn’t
On passenger side, the door would close 90% and stops with obstacle detected error. A second closing usually closes it. The issue is that if I walk away while it closes I might not have known it didn’t close all the way. While there’s an audible alert when I am parked outside and am walking away from the car it’s not very obvious. SC said they’ve ordered pinch sensor and it needs to go to body shop for installation. This issue happens about 50% of the time.
On my driver side, it wouldn’t close at all with obstacles detected. I have to override it from the screen by holding it al the way until it closes completely. This happens about 10% of time but has been happening more frequently.

Did you notice much of a difference with 2.5 ? And isn’t 2.5 retrofittable for free to all 2.0 owners ?

I sat in an X at the store yesterday. They have changed the FWD to solve the “paint rubbing” issue by changing the sheet metal design on the X door frame and adding a rubber stopper in a different spot on the falcon wing itself.
I also feel they’ve changed the way the center console cup holder covers “slide and lock.” No way to confirm this visually, but my X is only a year old and it feels different.

I have a March 2018-build X 100D. Ordered every option except the larger wheels and the Performance upgrade.
What? I don't have that.
Still super buggy. Tesla has fixed some bugs but, for instance, still no web browser. I can't tell the difference in performance over my 2013 Model S with 3G connection.
My new X has a lot more squeaks and rattles than my early 2013 Model S with 100,000 miles had. Hard to tell where they are coming from, but I suspect either the FWDs or the second row seats.
An owner of an older X, upon observing my FWD operation, said that mine had a new rubber bumper on the door and indent on the car body at the point where his experienced this paint scratching problem.

Yes, there is a small spot on each door where it’s rubbed through. I should have put a bit of clear plastic tape over it early on but just forgot.
The SC said they’ll fix the paint with a body shop when I’m ready. Just not a priority for me since it’s a minor issue...

I see. Other than that they work perfectly ? And no leaking or water pouring In if you open them when it rains ?

Perfect for me. No water leaks (another change after launch that Tesla made was modifying the water channels above each door) and function perfectly, stopping themselves if they are going to hit anything!

There have been a few changes like MCU2 and the new grey dash trim (replacing the silver trim) and maybe the additional interior FWD sensor to prevent it closing on your head. The new folding bench middle row seat option was also introduced late 2017 and real leather replaced by synthetic vegan leather for all colours (was previously only white) at about the same time. Also may have tweaked the suspension geometry for the now default low ride height - related to the infamous acceleration shudder.
