As there are many mysteries/questions about the refreshed Model S that Tesla hasn’t answered or clarified, I thought it would be helpful to list a set of questions for those lucky enough to get the first deliveries of the refreshed Model S, long range, plaid, or plaid plus. I’ll start with mine and please add your questions in this thread. If those with the first deliveries can post photos that provide answers, that would be an extra bonus.
I understand that some of these questions may require comparisons with previous generations of Model S and that statistics may not be available for the refreshed models from Tesla.
- Are the aluminum strips on the interior dash and doors lit?
- How does the 17” touch screen tilt or swivel?
- Is the car body wider than previous generation Model S’s?
- Is the track wider?
- What are the tires that come with the car? Brands and sizes?
- Where are CAN high and lo connections accessible? Same as previous generation Model S’s (under the touchscreen)?
- Is the interior space larger? Leg room for rear passengers? Head clearance for rear passengers?
- Are the mats in frunk, trunk, front and rear the same size and shape or different?
- Is the storage space in the trunk more ample?
- Have the brake rotors and calipers changed?
- Is the noise cancellation sound system effective in substantially reducing or eliminating road and wind noise?
- Does you your car have the yoke steering device? Was a round steering wheel an option?
- If the former what has been your experience with it?
- Is the automatic drive selector effective? How do the drive options on the touch screen or elsewhere in the car work?
