    Tesla is clearly saying that the front passenger door now passively opens, that it is not just able to be electronically activated.

    Depending on how much room you need on that 3rd row, the Model Y now offers a 3rd row option

    Which worked this way in 2016 and they subsequently took it away.

    Not sure why they would bring this back after removing it before.:confused:

    If they don't honor the past price, I'm not willing to pony up extra for a bleeding edge refresh with less range. I'll just wait for next price reduction instead.

    You're correct, the 7 seat Y is now offered, I was originally waiting on that release but and started following the X refresh in hopes that it would work. The 7 seat Y won't work in my situation, as I need to use this car for long trips and haul 5 people and their stuff. I was hoping I could squeak by with a 7 seat Y and that Tesla would pull a rabbit out of their hat with the 7 seat. To their credit they've made the most of the space available, but they're ultimately still constrained by the Y only being 187" long, which is very short for a 3 row in the US. I was hoping to use a tow hitch cargo box to expand my storage, but the model Y's load rating/max payload is not high enough for what I'll be moving around. Great thread on that breakdown - 18" Aero wheels and Model Y load limits

    It seems like Elon never heard the term "don't reinvent the wheel" ;)

    Yeah, give 'em cold turkey, until they honor your standing order.

    On the bottom, I would assume. :p

    Pretty soon you'll just be watching Netflix on the center screen while the car takes you down the road. At least, I assume that's the rational here... :)

    See deliveries set for March. Perhaps people that placed $100 deposits will be getting non refreshed versions at the agreed upon pricing.

    I can't believe they are still using 1860 battery size, they couldn't even change it to 2170? Anyone know if this can fully utilize V3 SC?

    Even the prior Model S/X could support the full 250kW. But with the new module/pack/thermo-management they say that it can charge even faster. (So I assume it can keep the 250kW longer.)

    I hope people remember the new sterling yoke came from the Cybertruck. Go back and watch the test rides they had.

    I was worried the FOMO on the refresh would kill me as a '18 P100DL owner. Maybe it's just bias but the key areas that would compel me to upgrade just aren't there. I am happy to wait the 1 to 100 more years for FSD maturity and regulators making autonomous driving legal. They clearly are designing around FSD with you sitting passively watching Netflix or playing video games. I don't have kids yet and rarely have rear passengers so the third screen is going to be useless 99% of the time for me. The futuristic aesthetic is alright but not amazing. I could get used to the yoke but I think I will wait for the CT to make that leap. I'd be jealous of 500+ mi. range or some new capabilities but for now I am thrilled that I'm not going to lose any sleep over this refresh :D.

    The range reduction is likely related to the faster 0-60 and higher power (670 hp v 550). Less efficient motors?

    That would be great if those captains seats were updated to fold flat. Even better if both they and the 3 seat bench were fully removable like many minivans have had for years. Would make the X far more versatile.

    Curious to know if Model X will get Plaid+ battery and range increase. Also wondering if headlights got upgraded. Pictures show venting for 2nd row but it's not advertised, were there any other changes to seats? Also fog lights have disappeared as well as any mention of bioweapon defense mode which just came to the Y. Also hope it got dual pane glass like the 3/Y.
