That's true, but IMO the current taillights look a lil cheap

Model S 2022 New Taillight Will NOT Retrofit - Just Confirmed Today :(
- Thread starter petershi24
- Start date
I agree... If I don't update mine to the new tail lights, I'll just Twrap my existing tail lights. IMO, the tail lights on the 2021 refresh look a little better after Twraps.
Is the plaid emblem for sale on your site the same as the emblem that now comes on the plaid ? Cheers
Unfortunately no... the Plaid emblems are imported from China, I don't manufacture these (I manufacture all the vinyl, PPF, tint products), and as such I have no control of what the Chinese factories come up with. So far I haven't seen a Chinese factory do the new one, although they probably will at some point. You may want to try asking a Tesla service center whether you can buy just the Plaid emblem from them though.
People are saying that Tesla charges $8 for the new Plaid emblem. (I think they call it a tri-motor emblem.)
They list two part numbers, I assume the higher part number is the new badge and the lower part number is the word PLAID:
| 2 | TRI MOTOR BADGE | 1655154-00-A | Over-the-Counter(No VIN) | 1 | 1 | |
| 2 | TRI MOTOR BADGE | 1740543-00-A | Over-the-Counter(No VIN) | 1 | 1 |
Next time I am near a SC I will ask for it...would actually love to replace mine with the real one. Although the way used car prices are going up again, who knows I might be able to upgrade to PLAID almost for free in a few more months
Agreed.
Unfortunate that Tesla released the Refreshed S, and within a year there’s a re-re-refresh. I would’ve waited had I known.
I wonder how many of the pre refresh LRs and Plaids are in inventory that ppl are refusing to take delivery of in hopes they get the refresh.
Since there are not many re-refresh on the road. When do you guys think that we'll know whether if they can be retrofitted?

I’m surprised that this isn’t known yet. The new new S has been around for a month. I guess we’ll know soon. I bet it won’t work and it’ll take a year for someone to develop some sort of adapter. I’m sure many 2020 and lower owners want the new lights

Got a good look at the refreshed refresh Model S and the new taillights yesterday at the dealership. Initially I felt like I was bummed about taking delivery of a 2021 last June, now I'm not sure I care. It's cool, but not like omg I want to trade my car in for that cool. Some pics of a few diff colors and angles attached.

The headlights is the only thing I’d want upgraded. Old headlights are dim at night compared to the new.front headlights looks kinda ugly compare to old ones, the circle make it look like old school bulb/xenons, either way going to try to swap them, waiting for those part numbers
Also I wonder when tesla will allow you to manually set day light running lights while driving and not only on park.
