Anyone received their refreshed Model S?

[trils0n]

I was not aware of any sound dampining improvements implemented. What exactly was done to address this shortcoming?

When dual motor cars were introduced, Tesla started adding additional sound dampening to tame road noise. The newer cars have this and it is a nice improvement over older cars (quite noticeable between my 3 year old P85 and a 90D loaner I had).

I believe they also switched to tires that make less noise too.

Sorry to be that guy, but damping not dampening.

So the car would slosh going around corners?

you've got it the wrong way round

Damping dissipates energy in oscillatory systems, dampening is making something damp

I was referring to the earlier posts that were talking about dampening. I got what you were saying, just running with it...

apologies, looking back that was clear!

This has reminded me of this: idea 4. Anti-dampening.

I've heard both too, they just mean different things

There seems to be so much variance that nobody can guess with any precision. There's people who have ordered / confirmed / VIN-assigned a month ago and still not gone into production yet.

Congrats and welcome to the agonizing wait club.
