When was AP 2.5 Introduced?

[masam]

I’m sure this has been answered many times here, but it’s one of those harder things to search for due to any false positives and I haven’t had much success. I’m curious to know when AP 2.5 hardware become standard on the MS ? Also, is it possible to get the month of manufacture of the car ? I’ve used this : VIN Decoder | TeslaTap but I didn’t see the month.
Thanks!

August 2017 I believe.

Month of manufacture is on the sticker in your door jamb.

Yep, August 2017

You have to call SC if you want the day. My S75 RWD is Aug 30, 2017

So does that mean if your sticker show 08/17 you definitely have AP 2.5 hardware, regardless of the day it was produced in August?

There’s very little “definitely” with Tesla production. I don’t know exactly which day things switched over.

So it would seem August 2017 production date vehicles are still unsure about the presence of 2.5.

I have an 08/17 date. I ordered the car about 1 year ago, from inventory. I tried really hard to make sure that I restricted my search to AP2.5 cars, and the 3rd party tools and javascript inspector tricks for my car showed "AP3", which was that code for AP2.5. So I have thought for all this time that I have a AP2.5 car.

However, I cannot get the dashcam to work on my car.. So I'm assuming that I either

a) Do not really have AP2.5
b) Have some kind of hybrid, with some parts from each of 2.0 and 2.5

I'm kind of irked, given all the time put in to trying to make sure I got a 2.5 car.

Drew, my scenario is exactly as yours! I too thought I had 2.5 with my 8/2017 manufacturing date. However I can’t get the dashcam feature to work either, leading me to believe I too don’t have 2.5.

I believe AP 2.5 started the last week of August 2017. If you have Remote S on your phone, click “Remote S” on the top of the screen, then scroll all the way down and click on “Copy Vehicle Data” you should have an APHx Code listed in the long list of data that describes the config of your car.

APH2 = 2.0
APH3 = 2.5

It's also possible that AP2.5 had early versions and later versions, Tesla has an incentive to hide such changes whenever possible since it seems to upset people with older hardware who were told their car was "FSD capable" when they bought it.

Btw, remember all the excuses Tesla gave in their statement when AP2.5 was discovered, how they told people how it only added redundancy? Well, it seems that they reused the redundancy capacity (additional processing power) for a dashcam functionality instead.

So did you get your dashcam feature to work? I see you do have AP2.5.

AP1 car got v9 couple of days ago, AP2.5 didn't get it yet. Both parked in the same garage, connected to the same WiFi. That said, I have no plan to use it, we already have 2 channel BV's recording 24/7 in both cars. Tesla dash is only 1 channel and only when car is on.

@Ken7 what did you do to try it? I’m about to pop in a USB and see. Is that it? I read it needs to be FAT32 and have the appropriate folder (TeslaCam) (no parentheses) in the USB already set.

And, I don’t know if I have A.P. 2.5. I guess I’ll find out when I get V9

I bought the app and indeed it does show APH3! So now I need to figure out why the dashcam wasn’t working.

Yup, that’s what I did, formatted FAT32 with a folder called ‘TeslaCam’ (no quotes).

Pretty sure it was AUG 22ish. If AP2.5 they sent an email out saying they temporarily disabled AEB.

 

[NHK X]

Around early september 17, 2017. The date the email went out to AP2.5.
