2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

[DillyBop]

i think "2nd Generation" is a misnomer. that means a whole new Model S.

this is like "Model S 1.5" if anything.

Some people just received the email about update the model x.

I am still waiting the news of update model s.

I think a refresh to align with Model X is very feasible, but I think a full 2nd Gen announcement would not happen until after 2nd Model 3 announcement.

But agree on this thread.

I wonder if the front hood will be auto closing or electrical latch assist so that bending the front hood will no longer be an issue.

Akin to an iPhone "S". I'm just glad I got AP, all wheel drive and lack of a standard center console (prefer open space in the center).

So no conference call today?

Maybe 12noon PT?

The call was 1pm ET about the recall. Don't seem that there will be a refreshed Model S today.

Or this month.

Seems that the recall was relatively last minute, shouldn't interfere with Model S refresh announcement and might be a nice diversion. Their stock was attacked by the trading bots reacting to the recall, Tesla would probably like some more positive news in the same cycle so I wouldn't think they would delay their announcement. So far, the basically unfounded rumors had it for either 5pm (who know what time zone) today or tomorrow depending upon the rumor monger.

Something is definitely cooking on medium to hot:

Tesla should let orders in 4 wks before any announcement have the ability to cancel and reorder with no penalty.

I 100% agree with this!

My guess: Model 3 -style front mask, LED headlights, ventilated seats. Wish list: HUD, 360-degree top view cameras, adaptive matrix headlights and night vision with dynamic light spot (like BMW/Audi/Mercedes has) including pedestrian and animal detection.

Not good news on the Model X
