If there is a model s refresh

[Nappypapi]

I was wondering how soon would we know a refresh is coming, being they are shutting down the lines, would they switch to "new" model when they come back if it in fact was a refresh coming? I feel like this type of refresh would lead to leaks some where in the supply chain. I pushed my delivery to mid February, so I feel we should know by then if the shutdown was for something bigger or not

The last S facelift was done on the fly. Suddenly you would just get the new one. As such, this shutdown is also strange. Maybe it is that big of a refresh.

that said... leaks of new product at Tesla are actually uncommon IMO. Cyber truck, roadster and semis was mouth tight until announcement.

And it could be nothing more than an adjustment to meet falling demand.

But I hope it is a refresh, I timed my MS order accordingly.

definitely possible, but i find that unlikely too... the production line should be able to scale up and down accordingly.. even if demand was ZERO, there would be wave of 25-75% production cut before a complete shutdown. You just don't go from 100 to 0, unless a forecast was missing.

A bunch of good info among the random other chitchat in this thread, link to the most recent relevant page with some links to news articles:

Model S range and interior update imminent?

 

[Nappypapi]

Yeah, I just hope they have demo models at showrooms prior to my delivery, so i can at least see it in person.

Hopefully fit and finish wont be terrible since this could be significant update

There is an X thread that has some interesting info. One poster says showrooms were told to sell all inventory and demo models by the end of the month. Might be our biggest clue yet!

Just placed an order for an X and S today. Salesman swears they were informed of no refresh but possible minor upgrades that would not effect the purchase. We would be happy with the current ones but we be very happy if the refersh gave a little more range. Anyway they are saying 7-11 weeks.

give me a few days. I put a deposit down on Saturday and received an email today saying they wanted to arrange delivery on this coming Saturday. As in one week from deposit to delivery. I've told them that I won't take delivery if it doesn't have the auto-dimming mirrors though. I can't get them to answer that though. That's the only real criteria I have. It's not a big thing, but given I didn't get parking sensors by 2 months on my S and I am not in a rush as my S is warrantied until June.

Very strange. I put my deposit on a Model S Performance on Friday, Jan 15 and my account page shows an estimated delivery of March 5-20. I wonder why there is such a difference in delivery estimates? Maybe they happen to have had a car already finished that happened to match what you ordered.

I think that poster is talking about a Model Y order in the S forum

You’re correct. Sorry, I got into the wrong forum. I’m letting go of my 7 1/2 year old S and getting a Y. Sorry for the confusion
