I think it depends on two things: when you submitted your order and if you were a transfer over from an existing Model S order. I don't believe anyone who ordered in the time frame that I did (beginning of Feb) has "prepare for delivery". I believe we all have "March".

My profile is not loading payment method... I wonder if they took it down to include $2K credit?
I agree. Mine has said "Prepare for Delivery" ever since I completed the info for which they asked - so effectively within five minutes of ordering. As with the dates that appear and disappear then reappear, etc, the "Status" seems rather meaningless.

Yea, they are 285's in the rear for 19"These rear tires look WIDE to anyone else?

“Once that’s done, Prepare for Delivery will disappear.”
This statement is definitely Not true. I had all of the same things filled out very early on and my 1/1/21 order arbitrarily changed from 2/27 delivery to prepare for delivery randomly.
For my first S, eight years ago, the page said "We're building your car" even as Tesla was dropping it off in my driveway. The X was not much better. So, third time at the rodeo, I'm taking the status on the page with a grain of salt.

Hope so that would improve handling for sure, I wondering if they changed the rims under the wheel cover. Im not a big fan of the new arachnid, so I'm sticking with stock and going aftermarket in the future.

In the second photo - the driver is giving you a slightly "who the hell are you taking a picture of this vehicle" kind of glance.These rear tires look WIDE to anyone else?
Offer these images to Car and Driver etc. Make some $$$ out of your VIP moment...

Does anyone know if there are fog lights on the refresh? I didn’t think so but some pics show fog lights.

Similar nose but different. The shape of the fog lights are different between the 3 and S. Look at the inside coroners.
If this person is out there driving around in a test mule for a highly anticipated car finally being refreshed after nearly a decade, built by one of the hottest car companies on the planet, and isn't expecting attention, they should probably find a new job.

Well, those shots certainly put to bed any question about whether the refresh went with diffused LED taillights...
Can anyone tell by the pics, if the headlights are the newer style like on the Model Y with the more squared off beam?
So since none of us have heard a damn thing, do we want to pass the time by taking guesses at the surprises @Ribeyesteak's contact mentioned?
My guesses:
- Model S LR only has an 85-90kWh battery and is now the most efficient EV on the market (explains the weight reduction and faster than Model 3 charging speeds)
- All new visualizations thanks to either HW4 or the GPU (no more lines and cars jumping around all over the place - much more advanced graphics)
- Works with Xbox Game Pass (for video games)
- Screen in the back can be popped out and pulled up to eye level
- Comes with a rear and front megacasting, significantly reduce parts
- Battery has new system to improve cold weather performance.
Anyone else?
