The doors do open and close on their own. Thank goodness.

Sounds like that is exhaustive list of all currently available features in AP2 then?
Right. For AP cars only, though, right? AP hardware was introduced in September 2014...
I'm a bit worried if they are using cameras to detect how much rain is on the windshield. The camera looks through a very small section of the windshield, with a focal length that means anything on the window is just a blur. I have some concerns that this may not work for anything more than on/off anytime any kind of drop hits that area, with none of the speed selection current systems are pretty good at. I guess time will tell.
Cameras for auto headlights and high beams sounds awesome. My current BMW uses a camera for the auto high beams and it's OK, but with the processing power of knowing if something is actually a car or just a streetlight, it should be perfect on a Tesla.
I'm not sure what you are saying. You are saying "classic cars" never had it. I always thought "classic" meant pre-facelift, just a few months ago. Does classic mean pre-AP? So there's classic, AP, facelift, and now AP2 cars?
We'll have to see, but I think it'll be better than the dedicated sensor on my car. I'd assume Tesla is using the wide angle camera for rain, which means it's probably seeing the whole patch under the housing, and it might be able to focus a lot closer than you think - ultra wide angle lenses have very broad depths of field.
The rain sensor on my AP1 car appears to be about a 1 inch circle, and I'm not sure it reads all of that - there's a clear part about a quarter inch wide and a bunch of black areas.

Classic has mostly meant Pre-AP on the forums. The four you list cover it pretty well, although there's some crossover - post AP single motor cars still have some features carried over from classic cars that D cars changed (self closing charge port, for instance.)

Picking up mine on 12/07. Was initially bummed about no AP but decided to treat it as the gift that keeps on giving. Next couple of weeks I'll focus on Premium Radio, Nav, super performance & looks...soak it all in. And before you know it will be time to soak in AP2.0 and the gifts that will continue to come as more upgrades are released.
