I picked up my White 70D today (VIN 87xxx) and traded in my S60 (VIN 33415), and there were significant refinements throughout. Things I have noticed so far:
- absolutely no motor noise, I have had this very loud motor whine with the S60 for quite some time, I heard it more when going by anything that could reflect the sound back (other vehicles, road walls, etc) and it was rather embarrassing.
- fit and finish throughout is much nicer, body panels appear closer together (no significant gaps).
- both screens look more clear.
- Only one latch on the frunk (and no crease, my S60 was delivered with a frunk crease), lots less space in the front, but I consider that crumble zone area and never use the front anyhow.
- The seats and the arm rest have alot more cushion in them, with the arm rests it is really noticeable - feels a bit odd, I am used to a rather hard surface.
- The positions of the cruse control and blink have switched, and there is this weird little button in the back.
- The paint looks perfect, no swirls, scuffs, or marks.
- That little space in the glovebox where I put the charging adapter is gone.
- The trunk without the power liftgate is surprising lightweight and easy to close, I thought that this was going to be one of the biggest things I would miss, but I am not worried anymore.
- My window apparently has no area for an ezpass... DS sighed when I asked where to put it, said to try the same spot as before, but was not hopeful, suggested getting the external one to mount behind the nose cone. I got the impression that he was either hoping, or had some knowledge, that they were going to bring back the area on the windshield for the ezpass. Checking online, I don't think it was read on the way home...
It seams clear to me that a year of small fixes is coming along well for Tesla, I'll give it a good ride tomorrow, but right now it looks and drives great. Anyone noticing similar improvements in the upgrades?
