From the rear trunk you can see it is Y shape not 3. Furthermore, all Teslas now have chrome delete as default. I propose above that the front of new S/X will be same as in 3/Y.

I doubt we will see major exterior changes, small changes like no chrome, changed diffusers and stuff sure but nothing major. The most major thing would probably be if they have to change the rear quarter panel to fit CCS for us in Europe (which is kinda a must at this point).

Just wanted to comment on a post by David29 *not sure how to copy that that and the poster details but anyway

Oh, and keys. I'd hate to lose my fob -- it has not failed me, and I am wary of relying on my phone as the key.

Lack of phone key was one of the top reasons we didnt rush to get the S -= and ended up with a Y -
Phone key is very reliable and a strength of the 3/Y - they really need to bring that to S/X

You can always have a fob for Y and 3 also. So I think it will work that way with S and X also...
Boy, that does seem to imply this isn't going to be minor (aka not just an interior refresh). Heck, almost seems to imply an embargo might be lifted as soon as tomorrow (although 01/27 seems more likely).

Spy shots have arrived of the refreshed S in testing at Fremont:
Tesla Model S “Refresh” spied track testing
Tesla Model S “Refresh” spied track testing
2006 called. They want their flip phone camera back.
Even if the test car was a fully refreshed one I doubt they would mount the screen that high. For it to be seen from the front it would have to be as high as the top of the steering wheel. If it is mounted at the same hight compared to the steering column as in the 3 it wouldn't stick over the dash in the S. And I really doubt they would rebuild the car enough to be able to lower the dash that much.
That said I doubt this is the actual car being tested.
I was hoping this might have a positive impact on the stock, but it could be a wash...unless they basically declare "we are in production with our new battery that will further reduce our costs significantly and are launching it today in the Model S and X with ranges of xxx and yyy respectively which puts us well ahead of our competition"...that might be nice. Come to think of it, that might be exactly what this refresh is all about.
After further image enhancement, analysts have a new interpretation ...
