Model S range and interior update imminent?

The pictures make me believe the wireless charger will be where the current phone dock is now, which would be ideal for me. The Taptes insert looks interesting, but not at the expense of losing all of that space below in the center console.

You don’t “lose “the space. It just becomes a bi level space where one can store bulky things like collapsing umbrellas , sunglasses etc. there is still space in the upper tray for things as well as drink holders and there is the handy spring loaded detentes to allow the cover to go halfway back or all the way. I also got a cubby drawer for the space underneath the main screen for all the small Items I need more regularly like tissue, chapstick etc. that would get lost or buried in the lower console. Everything is nicely segregated and compartmentalized now.

Still patiently waiting for the new interior refresh I am still dying every day. I find myself googling "tesla refresh" on a daily basis lol.

 

[WildCCD]

Anyone have any guesses on when the interior refresh will come out?

3 months maybe, 6 months definitely.

The real question is which will come first, “feature complete FSD” or Model S refresh

I'm waiting for the new interior as well. Great to see Tesla has been "de-contenting" where ever possible like the single screen in the Model 3, etc. Personally I think all these "dodads" in the interior just add weight, add to the price and suck up range. Just pedals, steering wheel and single screen is all that's needed, lose all these bins, consoles, etc., hopefully the refreshed S will follow that theme...

The question is not if but when... I am stuck with my order scheduled to be delivered in May. Want that clean design too. BTW it‘s now 8ys since unveiling the X with the same interior design and orientation.... Unsure if to wait w buying my X after summer holidays? That do You think?

This is especially ironic since you may get tiny pieces of each periodically over the next five years.

...Just pedals, steering wheel and single screen...

As a minimalist I am mostly with you, as long as the display is vertical and not stuck on the dash. I would still hold out for a heads up display.

I would keep the old X. These are expensive cars. The only reason I bought new was I knew I wanted something later than AP1.

Maybe I was misunderstood. We don’t owe an X but have ordered one for delivery in may

You'll be very happy with your new X, enjoy it! Don't worry about the future, there is always something better to buy, if you waited until the new best thing, you wouldn't get to enjoy today.

I am probably one of the very few who would prefer a horizontal screen in S/X somewhat like the Model 3. I get how the S/X vertical screen looks so nice all recessed into the dash. BUT I really don’t like the distance of eye movement from the road ahead all the way down to the bottom of the screen. With a horizontal screen, much more can be presented within a much smaller change in view angle from the road. As long as the S/X continues to get some separate display on the dash behind the wheel, which could get smaller and still be ok with the left side of that horizontal screen so close as in the 3. Note the patents filed about putting tiny displays in the steering wheel itself, and more controls that are touch-based to eliminate physical switches/rollers.

And I love the vents all the way across in the 3, and the ability to aim them anywhere with software, no old-fashioned louvres.

I suppose once FSD gets really terrific, we will have less worry about looking away from the road. But when we can completely ignore the road I think I would also like the horizontal screen for watching videos

More details here... Tesla releases "Long Range Plus" Model S/X with 390/351 mile range, new wheels - Electrek

Tesla has updated their Model S and X offerings with ever-higher range numbers. The cars now have a listed 390 and 351 mile range, up from the previous 373 and 328 miles. In addition, the Model S Long Range Plus now comes standard with the new 19″ tempest wheels. The Model X retains the same 20″/22″ wheel selections as before the update.

Update: It looks like the “Plus” designation is nothing particularly new after all. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said tonight that “All S/X cars made in recent months have actually been above stated EPA range. Will be unlocked soon for free via software update.”

More range for S and X LR+ and P, but still 200 kW max charging. So battery upgrade still in the pipeline.

just a question, Why did you order now but expect delivery in May? I ask because im trying to time my order to get it in May. Seems like if you order now, it would show up way too early

 

[sw1008]

We ordered in December to be sure to get free SuC. The local staff at Tesla postponed delivery to May because we said we cant take delivery earlier

How does this work? Do they just hold off on building your car? or is it build then put on hold somewhere till you are ready to pick it up?
