The Parking Sensors were a separate option as of December 2013. They cost $500 above and beyond the $3,750 Tech Package. The Tech Package did include power folding mirrors at that time, along with the Nav access and power lift gate.

folding mirrors were an option in 2013 apart from tech package. sometime in like, summer 2013 they did away with all the options and just included it in the tech package, then later in the fall they just made tech package standard.
They were added late in the year. Mine first car was Dec 2013 build.

Without having all the options listed for the first car it's hard to compare 1:1, but for just $2000 more you seem to be getting much more car, PLUS you'll have 2yr pre-owned warranty. Better mileage, pano roof, UHFS, etc. On the face it's a much better deal.
Awesome, thank you and BEEZR for the feedback! The other car only had the tech package and no other options, although it did have the LTE update (not sure if this car does). This car does seem to be much better appointed.
Man, I must say that the purchasing experience is clunky at best. If you showed me the back/forth correspondence with folks and hid the company name, I would assume the messages were coming from a 'buy here, pay here' used car dealer. The pre-delivery pictures that are shared are super grainy and offer no real sense of vehicle condition. Also, their is no description of anything that may be wrong with the car cosmetically (paint, dents, etc.).
In one picture of my actual car, I can't tell if there are paint defects or if there is just water running down the car from a recent wash. When I asked for a detailed picture of that section, I received the following response:
"Unfortunately the photos that you see are also what I see. The vehicles are all kept in off-site storage facilities in large garages with very poor lighting until they get moved for delivery. I would not be able to get additional photos. If there is paint damage, you could buy a Tesla touch-up kit."
Crazy.
For reference, all pictures that were provided to me can be found here: 2014 Tesla Model S 5YJSA1H18EFP51963 | False, Fa | Tesla
I was thinking there might be defects on the rear passenger side corner, although upon further inspection (squinting) it appears to be water running from the tail light.
