For anyone who is new: there's no news, no delivery update, no one (or their imaginary friends) have any info. Oh, and Tesla is randomly changing *sugar* still and ****ed us all out of left/right tilt of the screen.

end of day, we are in the same position.
I think you are right--looking at the angle again, reflection makes more sense.@omarsultan Not sure what the black bar is across the roof. It does not appear to be inside the car. It looks like glass reflection underneath it. Compare it to where the rearview mirror is located.
Emphasis on WAITING!We should change the name of this thread to 'Model S Refresh Waiting Room' - feels more appropriate.
Then we can do a separate thread for delivery updates after we have ------ what's it called ------- oh, yeah - DELIVERIES!
Guilty as chargedI used to read threads on a number of subforums on TMC, but since finding this thread, I pretty much just refresh it a few times a day and don't go anywhere else, haha. Anyone else like this now?

Congrats. First time purchase for me too. MS LR Red/black interior. Here's to hoping our order doesn't get changed to the next model year, as our wait rolls into January.First time tesla. Ordered a refreshed model S. Delivery estimate August-September. Constant refreshing has begun
My current lease ends in November. If Tesla isn't available by then, the order is getting cancelledCongrats. First time purchase for me too. MS LR Red/black interior. Here's to hoping our order doesn't get changed to the next model year, as our wait rolls into January.
This is a second vehicle for me that will be mostly driven on nice sunny days. I can afford to sit on it for a bit.My current lease ends in November. If Tesla isn't available by then, the order is getting cancelled
There was one, that languished "Refreshed “2021” Model S waiting room" -- but we all stayed here. Hey, I have an update. Mine never had a "dash" under delivery before!It should be called the "Refresh S 12 Step Program Group Therapy"
Out of interest, I compared the cost to lease vs. purchase and I'm not sure which makes more sense. A plaid S for 36 months and 10k miles per year will cost $7500 down and $1,843 per month for 36 months ($1,680 plus 8.625% NY tax.) In total, the 36 month lease will cost about $74,500.Yeah the people in those chats are less than useless! I got my lease approval while ordering and saw last night that lease approval is only valid for 90 days. I PING'd the chat team and asked about it and 3 different dopes are like "yeah not to worry, we'll just have to reapply if the car isn't ready yet". HUH? Yeah just keep dinging someone's credit? 3 people...zero viable answers!
Same. I'm waiting (more than?) a year before I see mine, so I'm just eager to see what the refresh is like itself.Just excited for ANYONE to get a vin…. So we can all see what we are buying

To purchase the car, the total is $132k (with tax) compared to $74,500 for a 36 month lease.
So will the car with 30k miles be worth more or less than $57,500 ($132k - $74.5k) after 36 months.
If less, then leasing sounds better. If the car will be worth more than $57,500 after 3 years, then purchase makes more sense.
Anyone have an opinion of the value at the end of the lease? A 3 year old Plaid model S with 30,000 miles. I honestly have no idea lol
Edit: when leasing, you only pay tax on the total of payments plus the $7500 down.
Response from my SA (via email):May is going to be dead silence....
for a fixed screen with no tilt, viewing angle may cause a problem unless the screen is titled towards driver, similar to previous Model S vertical big screen. I hope the they retain the tilt/adjustment in the final production line.The used to have a high gloss "Piano Black" trim option--I think it was the base config. IIRC, it held up well, but never looked great because it was a dust and fingerprint magnet.
That is what I also noticed about the pics posted this morning--that tabled looks firmly mounted in place like the 3/Y. Also the big black beam stretching across the all glass roof
IIRC from the v11 UX leak, buttons and other things you interact with while you are driving are mostly on the left half of the screen, so that should be OK. I am not sure if they mirror the display in RHD countries.
Well my 2015 S70D (low mileage) was worth 43K (tax/title costs included) when it was totalled in November (about 5 and 1/2 yrs old) and cost about 91K (before taxes). so I think a Plaid would be at least 57.5K after 3 yrs. They do hold their value.Out of interest, I compared the cost to lease vs. purchase and I'm not sure which makes more sense.
