Well, there's probably nobody who isn't waiting now. Not that I can find these images on Tesla's site... Anyone?
The picture is only on their events page, haven’t seen any other images updated on the order page.

Not clear what's going on there. Could be turn signals/reverse lights etc. Hopefully amber turn signals since having the brake lights flash is so lame on the S.

Guess I'll just wait some more until it's official official and on the order page.
New Headlights and Taillights Confirmed?
Looks like Tesla confirmed the new taillights, as well as improved headlights. I really don't care about the taillights, but I do wish I had the improved headlights.. Link to story below. https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-x/tesla-unveils-new-ccs2-charge-port-in-refresh-model-s-x/

Tesla unveils updated Model S with new headlights, taillights, and CCS charge ports
Tesla has unveiled an updated version of the Model S today with new headlights, taillights, and CCS charge ports. Tesla...

Why do I feel like I'm the only one looking at the comparisons and going...."so what"?
They look similar, I don't see what the big fuss is about. The taillights in my 2017 S work the same as my wife's 2021 Y and I don't think I have thought about it more than this 1 minute of reviewing this thread.
Why is this such a big deal?

Because the new head lights will also probably roll out with this refresh and those should be pretty awesome (if the friggen NHTSA would friggen approve them being active)
Also, for someone like me who's on the fence on getting a Refresh S, I'm not gonna wanna drop $100-$130k+ for the 'old' model if a 'new' one is right around the corner.
Unfortunately with Tesla that is a dilemma that constantly exists. Changes are always around the corner. But I hear what you are saying.
On a side note I know I'm the minority when I say this, but I do not understand what everyone's complaint is about the headlights. I have never had any visibility issues in my 2017 S.

It’s one of those things where if you don’t know, you don’t know. Go drive a Model 3 or Y at night and then go back to the S. Good grief is the difference dramatic.
My wife has a Y I've driven it plenty of times and still don't notice the difference. But ya I guess is just my. Everyone says they suck so they probably do
The rear changes are meh. If anything I like the original Palladium rear more, but this barely looks different, it's fine.
I'm with @WilliamG on wanting new headlights though. I didn't realize how bad our S's headlights are till our 3's first drive on unlit rural roads at night. WOW. Makes our S headlights feel like:
I haven't driven a Palladium yet, but it sounds like they're not much better. Our 3's matrix LED headlights are WORLDS BETTER. (Not sure about the older Model 3/Y headlights, never drove one at night.)
If the charge port door becomes a giant thing on an arm like the 3/Y I will miss the old one though. Stupid bulky CCS.

No way. For starters there are no Model S being delivered to Europe now and by all accounts it will be close to a year before any are.
Second, they’re all built at the same factory on the same production line. No way Tesla is building two different versions of the car at the same time and maintaining two parts supply chains.
