A rubber stopper to keep the leading edge from folding in too far....
I was just about to post this. It's on both sides. Reminds me of the vents on the Toyota Camry, although those are intentional and I'm not sure these are intentional

These clearly are not intentional as you can see the rolled quarter panel metal - same as you would see if you pulled your current tail light.I was just about to post this. It's on both sides.

New charge port cooling function. When it rains, it will also flood the trunk. Trunk pool?

At least, clean up or align the corners on the headlight, fender, and bumper. Makes me cross eyed looking at it.
I heard that Model S is now getting the Matrix Headlight any chances of retrofit the Plaids without one ?

Will someone please take delivery of one of these re re re freshed Model S cars?! We need production delivered pictures of front, rear and charge port (open and closed) ASAP as these internet rumored photos just don’t cut it. Tesla can possible release production cars with this kind of crap, right? Right?
TL;DR is that it's technically feasible but unlikely to be offered - although even if it was, the part cost for one headlight is likely to be north of $2500 (as that's around what the current ones are). The cost of paying Tesla to retrofit would be far more expensive than just buying a new car and selling the old one.
Edit to add: Personally, I'm looking forward to the new lights when I buy another Model S in 3-4 years from now, although if I get bored and want a project I might source some from a junkyard a year or two from now.
@EndlessPlaid where are you? The thread is off the rails with negativity, it needs some Positivity quickly! Everyone wants the lights to fit and other such nonsense.

I would suggest “pragmatism” is the correct word here…
When I picked up my white/white LR last weekend, the FIRST thing my wife did when she walked around the back was point at the black bar across the rear/into the lights and say "I really like that bar. It complements the black part of the bottom of the bumper back there".
And she's not even really into cars..
About the same chance that Putin wont invade Ukraine
We need to come up with a name for the refreshed refresh. FTD (fresh to death) Refresh? Refresh^2?
A bit of positivity... if Tesla offers a retrofit of the head & tail lights for $5k or less, I'd probably go for it.

Na it's either lighting or just something else. The red one has no such issue, and it looks EXCELLENT. I'm excited for this change.

The white one is sporting the retrofit kit we are all waiting on… air vents included.
