If Tesla has changed anything major? Surely by the end of the week there’s gotta be a pic or two right?

Shouldnt they update their customers who are taking delivery in the next few days? I mean if I was, I would want to know what I am paying for.

I think people are getting their hopes up too much.
Although you’re right, Byan1232 has a point. If I ordered a model s from the site looking like the current model and at delivery Tesla was giving me a different looking car I might be slightly annoyed if I wasn’t a fan of the updated look.
Heck even right now I can order a model s that still looks the same.
This is why I’m still convinced there’s no refresh coming post shut down. If it was as major as people on here are assuming then Tesla would have updated the site after they shut production down.
Unless of course Tesla doesn’t care about a customer ordering one thing and being delivered something different... which wouldn’t be the first time.

Gotta love that Home Depot-sourced molding, backyard engineering at its finest.
Most would be thrilled to get the new model as a surprise. I’d bet they can find a few of an older version for those that are not.
of course, this only matters if there is a big change coming. I’m not convinced.
That is typical for early quarter orders. First production in a quarter tends to get loaded on a ship so they can get sold in the same quarter.

I disagree, if the rumors of a model 3 like interior coming to the S are true I don’t think many would like that.
Actual improvement yes people would welcome that but something like looks which are subjective I don’t think many would be happy to get something they didn’t order.

They certainly could be doing that in preparation for using the new large cells. But, wouldn't that require crash testing?
similar with nosecone. Some liked, some didn’t. Once the grumbling was done many people preferred the new model.
sure the model 3 interior might be more polarizing though if they do a single screen only.
I think that as long as they don't make it as cheap feeling like the 3 it will probably be well received. Keep the alcantara roof and just generally better quality.
I don't think crash testing is a requirement for sale. The car can be very unsafe and still be sold. There is no certification for minimum crash ratings, and some cars are never crash tested.
Consumer reports says the The Jaguar F-Pace, Land Rover Discovery, and Porsche Macan are among those cars that have never been crash tested.
