    Anyone else see these? Looks like another prototype/mule with a round wheel.

    Nice to see what the actual cup holder looks like in the refresh.

    Looks much better in the real world to me than teslas website images.
    Really liking that new interior, especially the center console, finally a place to rest my arm on during long drives unlike the current model.

    All those clips for holding the dash covers on look like USB ports :D

    As much as I like the yoke idea and want to try it, the round wheel is growing on me and would be okay by me.

    The cream interior looks much better than on their website. Good thing I saw that, otherwise I may have ordered white.

    I don't see the ambient light strips in this one, maybe that isn't what they are or maybe they just aren't on this one.

    I don’t think those are light strips in either case.

    Perhaps because the wheel look less square? ;)

    Can't wait for when they announce the yoke isn't coming and all the people telling us how it's this amazing thing that's gonna retract into the dashboard and you will pull back to fly and there will be hyper robotic AI dynamic turn scaling start telling us how great of an idea it is to not produce it.

    I will still buy it yoke or not. If they made that announcement, I will be disappointed and think of it as a missed opportunity. It will not keep me from enjoying the new Model S.

    Where are the Park, Neutral, Drive, Reverse buttons in this one? Strange. IMO, those black door handles should really be body color now. Easy to wrap I guess.

    If you zoom in you can see smudges next to the hazard indicator in the same places the gears were labeled in the other test mule. My guess is that the gear buttons only light up if the car is on/occupied and the panel is blank otherwise.

    I am glad to see that there are more test mules out and about - hopefully Tesla releases more details soon!

    The interior is looking very good. It is too bad they didn’t refresh the exterior. If they had done both I would have ordered.

    The interior is what has always held me back from ordering a model S, but they took so long to fix it that the exterior is now looking stale.

    Yeah there’s a glossy strip below the phone charger area, likely another touch display that can be different buttons based on context... or always PRND? I guess we’ll see.

    Looks like the head / tail lights haven’t changed at all either.

    What's the deal with the camera on the turn indicator? It looks like it's a bit bigger.

    Does this mean there is once again new autopilot cameras? Why didn't they refresh them on the 3/Y?
