Thinig is there's probably a decent sized group of people who had to do a lot of work on supply chain, procurement, design, engineering, training, finance, QC, compliance, etc, etc, etc to manage the incorporation of a lighted vanity mirror!

Don't get me wrong, but adding a lighted visor is well below the bottom end of what I would consider to be a "refresh".
Clearly you and my wife are in disagreement.

I'd guess there is a refresh in the works and we will start seeing more and more of this as they burn through old material and start using new material. This is just the beginning, a major refresh is "close", we will see it in June.

Don't get me wrong, but 9 months is well beyond what I would consider to be an "imminent" timeframe for a car.Don't get me wrong, but adding a lighted visor is well below the bottom end of what I would consider to be a "refresh".

And here is hoping the visor is the only thing refreshed. On the last one when they refreshed AP and side mirrors, it took 3 months and 3 mirror assemblies to get the mirrors to not fold while driving, 6 months before headlights would turn on automatically, over a year before the wipers would sense rain. I would rather have old but "working today" rather than new and "may work someday" .Says the guy who has a new one on the way.......
No doubt there is. Seriously. But I'm assuming that that team is capable of handling MORE than JUST that.
Good info, I had not seen that. One thing of note however regarding NAV is that @verygreen has found that the Model 3 uses the new Tesla maps and associated data. I wonder how much that plays into the speed difference. I believe he noted smoother refresh when he ran it on his X...

So what do we think? We now know there have been updates to the vanity mirror and possibly the MCU. Does this make a refresh more or less likely during this June delivery window? Is this a stopgap or will it be part of a greater interior refresh?
On one hand, we're seeing evidence of pieces being refreshed. If the MCU is verified, were these two changes easier to implement on the current interior so they started them first? And they're hints of a larger refresh to come this year?
Or, are these indicative of stopgaps/incremental changes before a larger refresh? Was the major refresh pushed back so much that they're just doing the low hanging fruit to get rid of some of the bigger complaints? I'm concerned an MCU replacement that fits into the exact same form factor means any interior update wouldn't be dramatic (like the Model 3 or Roadster). It seems unlikely they'd do a significant update to the MCU for the first time, only to change it in an interior refresh within a year. Unless the real work was on the software side and the MCU refresh is really just a drop-in replacement?
Thoughts?
