Of course the new refresh S has changes - nobody is contesting that.
But it's a *refresh* rather than a *redesign*, which typically comes with a new platform/chassis. Reusing the existing platform means that while they can still apply suspension tweaks and such, they're still constrained by the original hardware design.
If it were a new generation of S, accompanied with all-new platform/chassis components, then we might see the half-shaft problem fix.
But it is new components. The front/rear chassis castings, suspension comps, air shocks, brakes - all new. The batteries are redesigned but not sure the actual package is different.
