2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

[Lyon]

The ventilated seats haven't been added yet either, hence my delayed delivery.

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I'm just waiting on those ventilated seats to give Tesla the okay to build the car. BTW, the definition of "first-world problem" is being forced to drive a P85 while waiting for ventilated seats to be available for your P90D order.

Good news for anyone expecting delivery from Burbank ca, DS, they just received a truckload of model s' for prep. I saw a white and a silver face-lift being off loaded!

I have actually tested Teslas ventilated seats?....they are not that great...in the X anyway.

Me too, but I thought they were much more comfortable and the air was nice. They do feel like they might not hold up over time however.

I meant to ask if he as tested the ventilated seats for himself. I have and did not find them that great.

It was, slightly. Especially considering the backend of the My Tesla account listed May-June delivery. What's more, mine didn't lock in until a week after I placed my order (foolishly forgot to call and lock in earlier).

Two weeks from now we won't care! Because we will both be driving!!!

I get the feeling they may vary. I've heard a number of complaints like yours, but in my X, the ventilated seats (while a bit noisy) are actually quite effective. When the climate control in the car is set to a moderate level, having the seats on high (level 3) is a bit much for me. I keep mine on 2, which is quieter and more comfortable. Overall, I'm definitely glad I got them. My wife is often too cold in the car, and I'm too hot. Being able to control the seat ventilation works better than the zoned AC for personal comfort.

I think everything about the X is going to so much better in the next year or so.

Then I will buy one.

No, they're not nearly as good as the ventilated seats in our Yukon Denali. That said, they're better than no ventilated seats and, as I pointed out, I'm not exactly going without by waiting a little longer. The plan is to wait until about September. If nothing's changed by then I'm going to have them make the car. As long as I have the dual motor system before ski season starts again I'll be happy.

There was much discussion here about how the front license plate was attached. Well, I've just "unattached" it and posted up the pics on its own thread for anyone that wants to see what it looks like without the plate. Facelift MS with front license plate holder removed & rear debadged

Beautiful picture. The reflections remind me of the face from The Abyss.

I was trying to recreate my favorite shot of my first Tesla, my blue 60:

Clearly opinions are personal and differ but comparing your two great pictures and based on looks alone I would take the shiny blue 60 with the old front end.

Based on those two pics, I'd agree... But that shot just doesn't show off the gray like it did the blue. The gray and new nose have an appeal all their own, I just need to find the right "pose" and backdrop for it. It would've helped had I waited for the crystal serum to be applied first, too! If it ever stops raining here I'll wash it and try some new shoots!

Has anyone gotten a closer look at the new front end to assess retrofitability?

 

[dss33]

Just another midnight silver to add to the mix

Haven't seen many of the 19" cyclones so figured this might help folks trying to make the decision. Super nice and not all that difficult to clean.

It is doable. Not only is it doable but it should be exponentially cheaper than both retrofit kits on the market. The only difference is going to be the angle of your hood.
