Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[EndlessPlaid]

Now waiting for visual confirmation to see if MS LR has the same changes too

That would suck if these changes are exclusive to plaid …..

@EndlessPlaid is sure that they do!

Woah woah woah. The Dual Motor Model S is getting these lights too! What's unsure at this point is whether it will be getting a body color or a black rear applique, and whether the Plaid will get a body or black applique.

Why do we think Tesla didn’t make the change on the Model X at the same time? Same production line; now people will hold back on X deliveries as they wait for these to show up. Bad business decision, IMHO.

Likely because either the lights for X haven't been done yet, or they don't want to do the changes with this much inventory left. From what I've heard, X does not appear to be far behind.

Yay!

Not familiar with the X lights. Are they not the same as the S?

They are not. Take a look at the DRLs, and the rear lights on the X:

And now compare to the MS tweets above.

Are my eyes just playing tricks on me, or does the video show a thin ambient light bar embedded in the dash trim in front of the passenger seat?

I have a production date of 2/14. Old lights, I assume? Any options ?

It looks like a reflection from the sun on the dash. We know already there is a "light bar" slot in the dash trim - thanks to this post Post in thread '2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features'. I doubt they removed it. And I doubt ambient light would be on while the car is off and (assumed to be) locked.

Probably. Could reject the VIN and await another one.

Finally confirmation on the new headlights! Note article from DTC. They say deliveries are currently mixed with old and new lights.

Tesla Model S deliveries with updated features to start next week

After a brief pause earlier this week to add a few new features, the Model S production line at Fremont is back up and running. Tesla has already started shipping out the electric sedan with […]

How does one go about doing that? I have a delivery date of 3/3.

Thanks for the link. That’s cool, I didn’t realize any vehicles had been shipped with actual slots or LEDs for the ambient lights in the trim - I thought it was just the empty connectors hidden behind opaque trim pieces so far. I’d love to get some RGB ambient lighting in my upcoming Plaid since I opted for the more boring back interior this time around.

This looks good!

Not headlight related, but thought I would share this cool pic of my car I took after washing it today.

Beautiful!

Is it possible to tell from these photos whether the new headlights are simply projectors or matrix-type projectors? Big difference to me. In Australia,outputs beyond a certain (input) power are illegal without headlight washer systems, so it matters to us.

I think from everything we have seen the light module itself uses LIN. (It has three connections: power, ground, and LIN.) Though it may be CAN up to the headlight assembly.

The tech I talked with the other day told me it was LIN controlled.
