You can ask but the standard answer would be $500 change fee + your price would adjust to what they call the new "price book", which for most would be $1,500 increase or $2k total. I hope they are being flexible with people. I almost asked if I could have the new 72A charger... Still might.

My vin is 130xxx, delivery late May/June. I had no communication from dealership but when I asked it was confirmed that my build completed just over a week ago, and when it finally turns up I will get the old nosecone. As someone who only rarely buys a new car (my current car is 12 years old and still looks great) I was hoping that I would have the "latest" version for at least a few years (cosmetically, I realise other changes take place all the time). As it is, my model is the old model, and I won't even get it for another 6-8 weeks! That said, although I thought the nosecone was the weakest part of the old design, I'm not completely sure about the new one either. I've persuaded myself that a few years from now, when model 3s are everywhere, the "classic" nosecone style will be all the better for its rarity!
With pictures like that it is hard to argue against. The Tesla fish mouth isn't nearly as cool as the jag, but my new car has just been built before the refresh, so I'm determined that it will grow on me.The most beautiful automobile designs in history have a fish mouth grill

Here's a picture with a front license mount on this site. Not sure if it's factory or SC installed. Would like to be able to install a plate without drilling though.

That really makes me wonder where they put the radar, since it's no longer in the lower valance and they just put a license plate across the part of the bumper I assumed it was under...

They will be out with a 110 KW battery soon. I'd wait if I was you.
They also updated the front end to look like the Model X.

The radar is likely behind the nosecone.. RF can probably pass through it easily. My radar detector is mounted behind my nosecone and wotks just fine. Plastic doesn't interfere like metal would. It can also be off center by a little bit and not really affect performance.

I was told by a Tesla store this week that every Model S will arrive with the front plate mount already installed. I'm in California so not sure about other states.
Hopefully that means they're come out with a factory installed option that doesn't require drilling and can be removed in those states where out is not needed.
Granted, but they don't have bright chrome lips surrounding it.The most beautiful automobile designs in history have a fish mouth grill

I for one will wrap my chrome lips in gloss black, so the black bulb blends with the black car.
Maybe it is off center. That had been my point - I assumed it was behind the nosecone just like in the X, but I had also assumed they kept it in the center so they wouldn't have to compensate for the offset in all he software and deal with the offset field of view limits. While the nosecone isn't an issue, I expect that a metal license plate would be...
From Bjorn's video (Thanks!), it looks like it could mount underneath and wrap around.
