Further reduced configuration options S/X

[Marec]

I may be late to this, but I have just noticed the configuration options for non P S and X no longer offer carbon fibre trim and the P versions get it by default.
Is this another sign a refresh is coming?

Only rumours - but there are plenty of them, especially on Reddit. Most people think it'll be some time before Q2 2019.

I'm glad I managed to nab the cream interior before this change. Neither of the two carbon fibre trims for the P100D appeal to me.

@100KWH and @Marec : those changes have gone through, no ability to order Carbon Fibre on non-performance cars, see image.

I certainly agree the rumour mill regarding the S/X refresh has being spinning for well over a year, but I also noticed a significant price drop on a number of inventory vehicles in Australia. Now I know the US Fin year ends Dec which could account for the price drop but it makes more sense that a refresh is closer to being released and they need to shift all existing stock. It will be interesting to see what happens Q1 next year?

Model S and x ordered off the configuarator website are still made to order, so not a lot of stock shifting happening there. Its more likely that they want to follow the path of model 3 and just make a stack of cars of limited configurations so that they can have existing stock and assembly efficiency.

According to Electrek, all removed options are still available as "off the menu" that can only be added directly by a Tesla salesperson.
