Unless they are developing and road testing in China free from prying eyes, I do not see how this will be a major change from the 8 year platform other than some new front and rear caps and upgraded interior. Which costs relatively little money. Starting to think with model S and 3 being similar in size, the new Plaid debuting later next year will be the defacto new Model S going forward, sharing the chassis with the new Roadster (sharing platforms reduces cost and speeds up product development, look at the Model Y). I would take all statements in the past about Plaid with a grain of salt. Doesn't have to be an AMG like track type of car. Just a way batter than the competition model S.
I have always thought any " new" Model S/X would use the 3/Y platform. With the new Y platform debuting at Berlin with, that still may be the case. Tesla has never replaced a present product with a new one before, so this should be interesting.
