Also , Elon mentioned increased MS coming soon yesterday. Wonder if that will apply to X too. Anyone know?

Here are my likes and dislikes.
Like
1. Interior refresh (my 2020 LR+ Feels 5 years older now)
- dashboard is modern and clean
- widescreen display much better for gaming and videos, easier to use than stretching my hand high or low
2. More power! I love the 3.8 sec 0-60, my 4.4 sec is the same as model Y which is embarrassing
3. Phone as key
4. Improved motors, battery pack and electronics
5. Noise canceling speakers makes for quieter cabin
dislike
1. Price is $10k more than I paid
2. Chrome delete isn’t special anymore
3. FWD still there means no full glass roof, passengers feel entombed still compared to 3 or Y or S
4. New fog lamps are the same as 3/Y
5. Still has an ugly rear
-That STEERING 'Wheel' REALY! WFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like there will be a round steering wheel option:

What if (and hear me out), TSportLine sells an aftermarket steering wheel that's not a yoke? If management spends any time on TMC whatsoever they'll know that people hate the yoke and they'll be able to get away with charging a decent amount for a regular wheel.
This new update is perfect me if:
1) I can get a normal, non-yoke steering wheel (preferably from Tesla, but aftermarket works too)
2) you can disable the idiotic feature of automatic gear selection
3) the 6-seat configuration still comes with more comfortable seats
To all those moaning about the price increase on an updated model, please remember that Tesla dropped prices significantly several times last year in order to boost sales on outdated models that were well rumored to be updated. So if anything, aren't these just restoring price levels from past, mostly very recent, discounts?
From Car and Driver on price cuts to S, X, and 3:
Tesla Lowers Model S Price Further Despite Price Cuts Last Summer
These refreshes bring updated seating with cooling functions, more efficient hvac, wireless phone/card entry and controls, updated battery packs (with probably longer periods of peak charge rates due to improved cooling), updated motors, better audio, better/faster mcu, lighter weight, wheels, etc.
As for the loss of control stocks, just watch some of Sandy Munro's recent video's to get an idea of cost savings there to improve margins for the business and decrease complexity. Didn't the old interior have like 3 or 4 control stocks? Bought from Mercedes? The two control wheels, the hazard lights, windows, and door switches now appear to be the only physical buttons in the whole car...
Call me crazy, but it seems reasonable that before condemning the yoke as a horrible solution, it would make sense to try it out at least.
Generally Tesla has a pretty good record of getting things right in the UI dept., imho.

Perhaps part of the problem with the increased price is the minimal improvements - if at all. I would not be surprised if the revised model actually will costs less to build then the older version and if not it will be close.
