See here, and image pasted below, taken from that thread. They also changed the bottom panels from black to body-colored in this mockup.

I'd assume that TMC is frequently monitored bymembers from Tesla itself. What wonders me is, that no matter how many peoplespeculating and waiting for such a change to happen, there is absolutely nocomment. Also not a denial.

I came across this picture of a Model 3 covered-up. Does it have the new Model X nose? Is that the new Model S next to it?

Can you explain? It looks to me that the Model 3 has a very narrow hood and the Model X nose. Certainly no nose cone. The car on the right appears to be large like a Model S and lacking a nose cone.
@Reeler, you are assuming that a specific covered up form in that photo is a Model 3. That is an assumption based on no evidence.

I pulled the photo from a Model 3 thread here purporting that the car on the left was a Model 3, but correct in that I don't know the providence.

Everything in that photo is an assumption based on no evidence.. except of course the 007 Lotus in the background.

The Model 3 photo is a scrape from a 60 Minutes Australia story. It is the Tesla design studio with clay models. EVIDENCE!

If you turn the contrast way up on that image, you can see four small triangles on the windscreen.. could that be Quad-Vision for AP V3?? Has to be.

Some have posted pics of LED headlights on a Model S charging publically with factory plates. So at least, that change can be expected soon. Not a facelift necessarily, but it does point to a refresh contrary to the naysayers.

AP V1 = one camera
AP V2 could be two cameras
AP V3 should be only three cameras
Quad-vision has to be AP V4.

Just because Tesla tested a car with LED headlights doesn't mean they will be showing up on cars anytime soon.
I don't expect any noticeable changes on the Model S until at least this fall, if not later. The only exception to that might be some features on the Model X that can be installed on the S with little or no engineering.
I thought the LED headlight rumors for the Model X were false. I guess I'm wrong. Tesla would have to redesign the light housing for LED headlights for the Model S, which may delay it.
I have seen these headlights up close. Unless they have multiple segmented HID bulbs in there, they are LEDs. You can also tell they are LEDs by the Xmas musical display Tesla did.
