Not surprising since they used a very similar wheel and interior layout on the CT. I believe roadster2 also has it.

My initial reaction as well. When I saw the earnings miss on the stock, I thought "Well, the refresh might help"...nope. It isn't just "gotta get used to the new one" either. I agree that from a design aesthetic it looks like they just tried to jam the Model 3 "look" in there. I know it is hard with an existing car, but it seems the engineers or bean counters (or both) really limited the designers here with "no you can't change that" "nope, can't move that brace" "no, the door can't change", etc. REALLY disappointed there were no sheet metal changes (or they are so slight as to be a big "meh"). On the flipside, I guess my "old" model S may not plummet in value quite as bad as it could have.
I have GOOD news for all you already MS owners!
The value of your car will NOT go down! People will prefer good old look and if anything your value will go up!
New interion is HORRIBLE

Yeah, so where are the shifter and turn signal controls? Buttons on the wheel ala Ferrari?
Finally chrome delete and fixed those led matrix LED taillights!
You'll change your tune in time. It always takes some time to get used to something new.
When the CT was shown, I went, WOW THAT IS UGLY! NO THANKS.
The next day I put in an order for one.
The model S interior looked dated and terrible next to the 3. Not just my opinion, I overheard multiple people at the Tesla showrooms saying the same thing. They thought the S was the old model or something.
Minimalistic interior can look cheap if you're used to buttons everywhere, but clean design will grow on you. Then buttons everywhere will look like something out of the 80's.
Add back the chrome. The all black now matches the entry level Toyota Corolla
You sure that's not the new BMW?

NOT a fan of the steering "wheel."
Since they already started calling the previous generation version a 2021 model at the end of last year, will this be considered a 2021.5 model? A 2022 model?

Yep. You can see buttons if you look closely.
Left side - Left, Right, Headlights.
Right side - ?
(At a guess Autopilot, Voice plus 2 more)
You get a door pocket! And you get a door pocket!

I was not in the market for an S/X. But after this I am REALLY not in the market for an S/X 
I like the minimalistic interior of the 3, so this goes in that direction. I really like it. The steering wheel is like the Cybertruck and Roadster 2. As with anything else, it can't please everybody. When the Cybertruck came out -- so many people hated it. Now, what's the verdict? Pre-orders seem to validate a different viewpoint.
$10k price increase... People who placed those $100 bets still thinking they're gonna get the old price honored?
I am one of those. I hope so. Ordered last week. I would be ok with current model or new. Someone will make a retrofit for the wheel and make it round. Not sure how, but there will probably be enough people to want that.
not only that, you want a design style for your vehicles.
The S was made in 2012 when their goal was to make it look like a regular car. The dash was tall like a regular car (for no reason). The exterior looked like a regular car (not a bad thing). They didn't make it look like a car built for 3 year olds with bright colors and other nonsense.
If the CT, 3, Y, Roadster 2, all have clean interior, the S and X should too.

Geez! I love the new S interior. All of it even the steering wheel! If I had not already told my wife that I would buy her a MY this year I'd be ordering a new S now.

One benefit no one has mentioned that it looks like the dashboard might be lower and visibility better....
Hope not, the low dash in the 3 is one of my biggest dislikes. No problem with visibility in the previous S.
