There are already photos floating around of a classic Model S with the new bumper. Perhaps that was just a mule or an aftermarket offering. Will Tesla allow us to upgrade? Bonus question: How much would Tesla charge for that?
The hood looks different, less of a curve on the new nose. I don't think it's a simple bolt on replacement. If anything you should ask body shops if they can do it.
I think the hard part and "expensive" aspect will be matching the paint (especially on the Multicoat colors). I hope someone at Tesla is indeed thinking about "kitting" the front as and upgrade along with the new active headlights and LED fog lamps.
I have just seen my first picture of the new Frunk and based upon what I see there is no way that a retrofit can easily take place. The entire Frunk, and the surrounding plastic surrounds and interior have changed based upon that picture. So if that is the case the possibility of a retrofit has just become more complex.

No retrofit for any of this stuff, intentionally. They could have been offering battery upgrades and gotten a revenue stream for that, but they found that it's more profitable to force people to buy a car with bigger battery.
So I say the bumper cover and LED headlights will be rigged to prevent retrofits.
It’s cheaper to make a one piece plastic bumper/nose cone then to make and attach multiple parts. Anything can be altered or retrofitted it’s just a mater of cost.
I agree, no retrofits! The hood curve is very different -- if you wanted a "close" retrofit, at a minimum, you're going to need a new hood and full bumper. It's possible, but I think that would be way more than what fits in "retrofit" category (and very expensive due to the new hood and paint matching).
My first impression from the pics was that Tesla changed the lamps and front bumper cover/little black plastic bit. Can anyone provide some pics indicating the change in the hood itself?
