Model S Delivery Event on June 10, 2021 [Rescheduled] - What to expect?

[JeffR]

The Model S/X delays seem much longer than part, chip, or firmware updates would require. Perhaps I'm overly optimistic, but I'm hoping Tesla has some something to announce on June 3rd that will make me feel the Model S/X enhancements will be well worth the wait.

Turns out the correct answer to "what to expect" was "delays".

I expect BS

“Words cannot describe the limbic resonance” a fancy way of saying nothing all that different is coming.

Well, farts all around...

I heard they were going to throw steel balls at the windows...

I’m pretty sure Elon’s balls just sound like that....

I have feeling new taillights will be shown. It must be very difficult to market this spaceship with taillights that were kind of old when they came out nearly a decade ago..

There’s already been lots of leaked photos of the Plaid cars being stockpiled at Fremont, so there aren’t going to be any design surprises. This is a delivery event, not a reveal.

I do so love this reality-defying optimism

They can leave the shape the same, but for the love of god put a diffuser in the taillights! The Matrix LED looks horrible. Only thing that’s stopping me from buying one

Agree! Matrix LED taillights spaceship is a showstopper for me as well.

History shows that most likely Tesla made the new refresh overly complicated or created some new tech that wasn't quite ready yet, perhaps with software requiring more updates, etc. Likely the steering wheel, lack of shifters/stalks, and autoshift functionality that has to be very failproof (and sure will have "beta" next to it).

Similar but not as bad as the original X, way over complicated and due to that ~2+ years late.

Yeah I just don’t get it, absolutely no reason to change the steering wheel and to remove the stalks. Unnecessary complication.

The way Elon’s mind oversimplifies things I am sure he truly believes FSD is actually happening next month and with no stalks and the yoke steering that it will allow the entire steering /driving system to recess into the dash almost completely flush. Could not do that with stalks and the 1/2 top of the wheel. Total conjecture on my part but seems very “Elony”

 

[HankLloydRight]

I seriously doubt that the new cars have any facility to "fold away" the steering wheel. That would be insanely complicated, and we are years away from actual autonomous driving to the point the steering wheel can disappear. And on top of that, even with FSD, there will ALWAYS be edge cases where a driver would need to quickly take over - there wouldn't be time to wait for the steering wheel to unfold. Elon has had a hard-on for yoke steering wheels for years, and he finally got it through. See: Occam's Razor. Or as Sigmund Freud said: "It doesn't mean anything, Anna. It's only a dream. Sometimes a banana is just a banana"
