With AP the numbers would have been 55 trade/92.5 MSRP, so not a huge depreciation based on the raw numbers. I had a hard time selling it outright because everyone wanted AP so the net cost to me was probably higher.
That is certainly closer to the mark. I knew if I waited a little longer I could get AP2 but on September 28 the 90D with 13K discount popped up and I couldn't help myself. Whatever negative feelings I have are directed at myself and fate, but in the grand scheme of things I'm one of 160,000 people driving a Tesla so can't really get too upset.
And one other thing. Tesla sent me this email in July essentially announcing when AP2.0 would be available. I was just too damn stupid to read between the lines. 
"We’re excited to extend the Tesla Referral Program until October 15, 2016. Just share your personal code with friends, family, or anyone else. They can use the code to get a $1,000 credit towards a new Model S or Model X."

It was right there. They've done the some thing with Facelift release."Related Model S order must be placed after February 16, 2016 and delivered by April 15, 2016 for a referral code to qualify"
And on April 15 2016, Facelift Model S was announced.
The current program ends on January 15, 2017. Shall we expect some new stuff?

When it ended in July nothing special happened. At least not for us poor folk. The P100DL was announced. Maybe HUD in January. I don't see what's so great about HUD though.

I just got Model X P100D. Now trying to trade in. In August they ended 90 days satisfaction guarantee otherwise would have used that.

Do what makes you happy. You're the one who has to live with it.
However, my suggestion would be to just ask yourself, "are you happy with what you're driving now?" If yes, then keep on driving your facelift MS until it's time to upgrade. If no, then sell and reorder...
Either way, I suspect AP2 will not be fully functional for some time - from the software perspective and/or from the Federal/State regulatory perspective - so don't beat yourself up... Tesla will not run out of cars, so you have plenty of time to think about it.
Good luck!

But are you happy with the car? Did you get what you paid for? There will always be someone else that got a better deal than you.

Just out of curiosity, is the new AP configuration available yet for Teslas bound for Australia? I was curious how AP is received by the various Departments of Transportation/Regulation in other countries. I'm not familiar with the transportation regulations in Australia, so please forgive my ignorance.Yeah you're right. But still - I'm madddd

Bought the MX for my wife a few months ago and she never uses autopilot, but I'm just a little bit miffed.
If I had bought a P100d I would be really mad. I think tesla should have delayed it. Releasing a car this expensive with a major upgrade just around the corner for the sake of propping up quarter results is disappointing. Its very short term minded.

I have a non AP Model S 85 and a three week old X 60D. I love both of the vehicles and wouldn't get rid of either one. I love the auto pilot in the X and it does exactly what I need:
Drive in bumper to bumper traffic
Help to drive long distance trips
I love the fact that AP 2 is taking us closer to level 5 autonomy, but I can wait for many years.
The vehicles that Tesla makes are eons ahead of any other manufacturer and I love that I am driving all-electric and can go cross-country.

For all of you who are sad about not having a discount... I am from Portugal and I thought about buying a model S in May... Since there's no Tesla service or store in Portugal I had to rent one in Austria, and I paid 1000€ for a 3 day P90DL rental just to test drive it and be sure the car was better than the Panamera I had since 2011. I made the purchase in June and waited until 1st of October for the delivery. I had to pay 3500€+VAT for transport and papers and I had no offers from Tesla whatsoever. I am very happy with my car, even if my closest supercharger is 800km away and the closest Tesla service is 1200km away. I am not complaining, just giving a different point of view so some of you have a different perspective. It's a great, great car, with or without AP 2.0, and buying a custom Tesla in Europe means almost for sure there will be improvements by the time you actually get it.

Not mad at all though my car is 2 months old. I leased.
Full autonomy is so far away despite Elon's statements. In 3 years when I buy another Tesla I think it will still be not in use
