2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

[EndlessPlaid]

Just an FYI - I am going to be going to the factory every weekend until I see them rolling off the line. Will keep this thread posted.

I saw one at HQ the other day in MSM but I am pretty sure that was a validation mule.

Let's gooooo!!!! Can't wait till the new parts start shipping!

haha you definitely don't want your car being at HQ... that would mean something turned out so wrong with it that the engineers wanted to see it personally.

Thanks @B-lon - I know I will not get the new headlights but look forward to some of the other long time waiters to get it as a bonus for them!

Drone footage over the factory today. I can't get over to this part when I visit so I am surprised to see hundreds of S/X here! I spent way too long staring at this frame by frame. At 0:43 we get a good look at a Red Model S without the rear blacked out bar in the center of the trunk and therefore probably has the new lights. (Contrast with the graveyard lot of new S at end of video with the old lights)

Spot anything else?

Wow good eyes! Yeah I see it. So there's definitely movement on the lights.

Good eyes!
So I checked a few recent flyover videos. Looks like the same red one was there even in 1/13’s video. And there’s another red one slightly farther away (upper right corner of “the pack”) since ~1/10 and that one also seems to have no black cross bars.
Either they have been producing them for a at least a few days, or the resolution caused illusion.

PS in latest video, at 1:35 mark. I’m not sure if the white one at bottom left corner has ”the tail light” - again, it could just be resolution.

I saw that too on the older video I agree, that white one would def be visible at that altitude even with compression.

If we're right then we should be seeing deliveries of this in a few days and my prediction of everyone matched so far not getting it would be fortunately incorrect!

Quick question for everyone - should I start a new thread for the lights? I feel like I am derailing this thread...

YES! DO IT NOW!!

Okay, here you go.

Let's continue this pixel compression drone footage analysis there... lmao

It seems thought, all the white ones right next to it have a black bar somewhat across the back. It's odd to think cars in the same batch but just different colors would have the different parts. Or at least it seems easiest to spot the black bar on the white cars in this 1080P (but not great) resolution.

Great video..but next flyover, can you get lower/closer to the rears of the S's?
