Check Out My New Model S - with Refresh, and Photos

[tanner]

@fballatore so you ordered just before the refresh announcement? Did you get any internal upgrades (spotted the console on your pictures, but any other upgrades and/or the HEPA installed?)

Read post #7 "I was given the upgrades at the old price. I so much more prefer the new look, and now I have Bioweapon Defense Mode!"

We should demand the removal of all front plates in the interest of freeing us of foreign oil!

Every day these front plants force car owners to needlessly burn millions of extra gallons of fuel.

NoMoreFrontPlates!

Awesome car. The refreshed models look really good.

Sorry, missed that statement - looking forward to whatever comes of the shipping create on our side of the ocean!

Yes, I received all of the updates that are currently in production. The new fascia, LED headlights, center console, HEPA filter and everything else included in the Premium Upgrade package.

Really wanna hear your thoughts on obsidian black once you get it... My service center told me its one of the most scratch/swirl mark prone color choices. After having a black MS for almost 3 years, I can certainly attest to that claim (at least for the regular black).

This is correct for the standard black. Ive read and heard from actual detailers that the Obsidian Black is the way to go if you want black. Something about the solid black is hell to deal with. And this is from a guy that has detailed over 112 teslas.

I think technically the regular black is worse, but yes, OB is probably #2. The metallic flakes help hide slightly better what regular black doesn't. I have 3 kids under 5 and I need an excuse to go out to the garage and clean it ...

Congrats. Every 10 minutes, you have the Tesla grin! Life is soooo much better.

Enjoy your new ride. She is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing those pics. Every car we've bought over the last 15 years has been grey-ish, and yet I have been stressing a little since ordering whether Midnight Silver was the right color for us. Pic 750_7922.jpg clinched it for me. Absolutely beautiful.

Congrats! I paid for mine yesterday, so here's to hoping I get it before next weekend!

It looks amazing, Frank!

I know there's been a lot of speculation about the redesigned Center Console (I hope it gets added back as an aftermarket accessory in the Tesla Store) -- does the Center Console that came with your S have rear seat cupholders and USB charging ports?

Yes, the refresh was announced between my order and confirmation dates. At the time I ordered, the old design was in the Design Studio. I received all the updates including the new nose, LED lights, 48 amp charger, center console, 75 kWh battery (I will have to pay for the extra 5 kWh if i ever decide to enable), and the new Premium Upgrade Package features with HEPA etc at the old pricing. I had ordered the old Premium Interior and Lighting package. I really lucked out with my timing.

Oh, did I mention I love my car?

 

[Joules Verne]

Car looks great. Congratulations!

I'm getting the same color combo, except I ordered the black headliner.

Received notification yesterday that my MS has been built and is in transit from the manufacturing facility, apparently on a very very very slow train.

Welcome to the family!

Can you please post pictures of your Midnight Silver with Tan interior? Is your Tan leather the same as in today's cars? i ordered last week and still deciding on the interior. Thanks!

I would very much like to know this also. My order gets confirmed 10July.

Model S 60

Here you go. The interior is the same except that I have Gen 1 seats. I believe the color is exactly the same. I really like the combination. It's the only one for me.

Why, that's just real purty!

I'm getting my new Telsa center console installed on Friday in Montreal. I ordered at the Tesla store a couple of weeks ago. I was told that the old one was a quick install but this new one takes two to three hours. It includes the two rear cup holders.
