Not mine… but was at the delivery center as I know some of you asked for pics of the refreshed white.

What does everyone expect to be the next change in model S following the lights? I expect LFP batteries. Enabling to charge up to 100% level is quiet useful for range.
Nah, LFP batteries would make the Model S absurdly heavy. Like 5500+ pounds. It would make no sense, except for a lower priced, lower range model, but that in itself would be useless, as demand is still off the charts for the new S and X, and they are currently maxed out on production capacity.

The next major change for Model S is the 4680 high nickel cells, along with the structural pack. This will happen likely sometime around 2025. Following that, I expect an all new Model S/X (including exterior), as we approach 2030.
 
I really like the yoke. The S also fit more in the back on my Costco run than the X6 could hold.
Hey, Congrats! I’m glad to hear you like the yoke. I’m all set to pick up my S tomorrow. I thought I’d have to postpone cause of the ’big storm’ here in NC but turns out it’s not so bad that I can’t do the 2.5 hour drive to the SC. How’d your delivery go? Any issues with the car’s build? Did you get the new lights?

Thanks. The S is more than I anticipated when I ordered in June. Only issue was summer tires. It came with all parcel shelves and looked good. I have not hand washed it yet since it’s 18 Degrees, that’s when I will notice if there are any imperfections.

That’s exciting yours is coming tomorrow, I would have picked it up in any weather. Would have definitely checked the tires if it was snowing that day, but would have taken it home anyways. It has the new lights and the guy I met at delivery was really nice and helpful. I could not figure out how to open the cigarette lighter for the radar detector (it’s push not pull).
 
Model S 2.0 refresh update. The autopilot limited to 80mph is the “worst” feature. Found myself driving faster than normal since I couldn’t use autopilot on the highway. It also gets really pissy when you make the car go 10-15mph over instead of the max 5 over. Two thumbs down for the new autopilot.
Is there a setting to adjust mph over limit?
