2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

[gsxdsm]

Interesting....I've just emailed my DS asking if mine will have the refresh or not. Also in MyTesla, my delivery just updated to April 16-30.....

Do we all now agree that the photo in post #1 is actually the refreshed face?

Yes.

Me likey.

Check out the forward facing cameras in the side view mirror arms.

One more thing to have to remember to clean ice and slush out of.

Just confirmed with inside source change is coming today. Keep your eyes on the website

Here's a contrary (and probably wrong) prediction - the cost of the S will go down slightly, even as the battery capacity goes up, as they will also announce that new batteries for the S will be produced at the Gigafactory.

This is kind of what I was thinking too. If they increased price of S with just $5000 it would already cost as the X which clearly is a more complex and better equipped car. How about if both S and X get a price increase or if S gets much more equipment and price increase. Makes sense, or?
Not sure if they could squeeze a bio-weapon air filter into the current Model S body though.

Same.

YUCK! I'm so glad I have the nose cone compared to that new front end.

 

[kort677]

accepting this as being real, the pop off cone served a purpose, how will you access the area where the battery terminal are located?

 

[bfcmoose]

those are not photoshopped. I am seeing others from different angles showing up online

The design studio does not load right now (just a blank page with the words "Design Studio" on the top). Maybe they are updating it now?

All I heard is front, lights, and seats. Nothing on a new set of cameras

At first glance I prefer my "classic" nose cone. I did a screen shot of the new one with a picture of mine when I took delivery at a similar angle...

The good news is that it looks like it's just the bumper cover. Should be a relatively easy swap, and I bet you'd find a lot of "classic" owners willing to "upgrade."

Not me, though. I prefer the older look, too.

 

[Haxster]

So, can I retrofit the front scissor doors and rear falcon doors on my S?
Oh wait....just another vivid dream.

Design Studio is stuck on a white page for me. Come on man, I've got to go to work.

They won't do any new AP 2.0 hardware retrofits (if it involves extensive wiring/new mirrors, front mounted camera, new grill, etc.) - quote me.

Also, they told me no on the folding mirrors at two service centers. When did you get it done?

quote me. They won't do AP 2.0 HW retrofits because there is no AP 2.0 HW. lol People need to get their heads out of the sky. AP JUST came out and it's being tuned by Software. Right now Tesla has the best system in the business so there's no point to waste resources on new HW just yet. You need to amortize that cost over the life of the car.

Ah.... Feels so good to be right. My inside source said there would be technological advances to the car inside and out. I am not a betting man, but I bet those new mirrors integrate 360° cameras.

How can you see that?!!....I cannot tell.

AP 1.0 is already "legacy" internally. It's been old news for a while.

Keep in mind the refresh photo is at an angle and distorted. The dimensions are different
