Good Evening!
I've been a happy AP1 - MS85 owner going on 4 years now (it's my wife's daily). Got the MCU2 retrofit and car is just like new!
Have a CT on preorder and was going to wait but a new member of the family is coming this April and need a 4 seater to replace my daily (2 seat convertible).
I was going to get a "beater" used M3, but with used prices of M3 LR and AP 2/2.5 MS within 3-5k of each other both with FSD, a MS makes so much more sense to me.
That being said, I´m in the market for a used MS directly from Tesla.
Questions for the group experts:
1. The biggest difference between AP 2 vs. 2.5 is the ability to record sentry via usb. Is this correct? And this is resolved by a 2500 mcu2 retrofit?
2. AP2.0 with FSD should get the 3.0 hardware based on my research. Does this include the newer front radar? If not, is the older front radar of the 2.0 going to be a problem with FSD?
Any other differences? I am looking at 75s and 75Ds. I don't live in snow (LA) and have been fine with my MS85 for years. I don't mind RWD (or maybe I just don't know what I am missing?)
Also, if I missed some previous threads from my search, I apologize in advance and please feel free to link to them.
Thank you!
