Can't wait to see how this new refresh looks in person

Was that a Lexus policy, or was that the policy of the dealership you were working with? (People seem to confuse those a lot.)

Truthfully, I can't answer that. There is only one Lexus dealer in Indianapolis so I can't compare.

Just going to pose a silly suggestion here for testing out the yoke: What if you took some tape or something, and wrapped the upper part of the wheel, and drive around for few days without touching it? Maybe even have some gooey stuff on it to really prevent you from wanting to touch it. Would that offer a suitable simulation?

Like a "chastity wheel"

I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been an event announced yet. Have we just given up on that idea at this point?

I’ve been looking for any information on the elusive “Elon call” on Model S that he announced during the earnings, but have not found anything on this. I’m not “influential” enough to get his attention, maybe someone with a Twitter account that he follows can ask him?

Same here .. but thinking about it, the website seems to cover all the changes .. not sure what an additional announcement would do ..

Yeah, I think every "event" in the past revealed stuff that was previously not on their website, but appeared immediately afterwards. In this case, the horse is out of the barn already.

Yep, I've been wearing Google out over tidbits but it's silent running per usual over at Tesla. I guess at this point we're just waiting for the first deliveries.

I saw a youtuber a week or so ago do something similar to this.

Is This The Refreshed Tesla Model S Plaid Spotted Testing In Fremont?

Twitter video of "maybe" the refreshed Model S.

I'd love to get more details on the rear seats/second row, as they seem to have made some pretty signification changes within the last 2 weeks:

Seems like they could add quite a bit more info around yoke & AI gear-selection at an event. There's still plenty of speculation about those & whether the current renders on the site are representative of what's actually going to ship. In particular, I'd love confirmation around whether the gear selection over-rides are going to be via MCU or physical buttons elsewhere (i.e., near where the hazard button is on the current renders).

I haven't followed past events , so I'm not sure if there are really any parallels like this in the past where we know generally about a feature but have also seen some conflicting information about implementation.

Agree with the steering wheel. Why? If they cannot make/ship it, it must be a commercial play to get people to buy nonsense. Not the first time for Tesla.

Thanks for posting that link .... hadn't seen that thread yet. Now I'm convinced the only thing holding back the event is that they haven't finalized the design yet. And I'm also convinced my "March" estimated delivery is a pipe dream at this point.

That's the Model X rear seat, look at the spoiler on the rear window.

Nikola World? Long wait. Time to give it up and shop at tesla.com.

Just in, the new MCU3 is going to mine crypto currency for Elon as you drive.

And it will go out in 2 years, users will need to update as it’s a wear item

Ditto. Especially how the interior looks and feels while sitting in it.
