Used model S... Years with FSD

[ACAG]

I am looking into buying a used model S. What should I be looking for if I want FSD on the model S? What model years have this feature? If the model S has enhanced autopilot, does that imply it has FSD?

Oct 2016 and newer will have the capability for FSD according to Tesla. It is a $3k upgrade from EAP, and EAP means it has AP 2 hardware at a minimum. Note that MCU versions were updated sometime in late 2017 I think. To get all the features coming out in version 10 today, the car needs both AP2+ and MCU 2. Otherwise you don’t get Netflix and some of the games, etc.

So it depends on what you are wanting.

So, if I want version 10 to work with my model S...i would need what year model S?......with enhanced AP?

Version 10 works with all 2014+ teslas (I think), but to get to use all features of v10, you need model S that was built after March 2018 (MCU2).

If you just want the “FSD” features such as Smart summon, you get that with any S Oct 2016 or later. If you want all of the entertainment/dash cam features including full Sentry mode, Netflix, Cuphead, Beach Buggy, and Caraoke, you need a 2018 or newer.
