The front fender cameras are really looking huge there. I'm wondering if they've made them wider to protrude past (or even with) the fender flares so they can better gauge curb clearance when maneuvering in tight quarters?

@sam3194 Your delivery date still the same?
Honestly, at this point given the weather in the mid Atlantic, I’d accept delivery without the doors.
Yes, click through to the side view here. Cameras seem massive...The front fender cameras are really looking huge there. I'm wondering if they've made them wider to protrude past (or even with) the fender flares so they can better gauge curb clearance when maneuvering in tight quarters?
I have a Model S Refresh LR on order. One of the items listed on the detail section of the order is "Yoke Steering". The order was placed last week and I doubt Tesla would list i Yoke Steering in the order if they didn't intend to deliver the vehicle that way.That red S looked like it had a more pronounced fender flare just looking at the rear door and 1/4 panel on teh video. Looks flared to me wonder if Plaid cars are getting a bigger wheel/tire package to handle that absurd performance? Sometimes these cars can be deceiving though since they're so sculpted already depending on the light. I would never have guessed they would do anything with the metal parts of the body on these but maybe they were able to justify a new rear fender stamping if it means a little more traction
It's definitely possible.Theory #2 for the larger side cameras - the legislation for removing the side mirrors is close to being a reality?
Off topic, but that was an odd tweet. Radar can’t possible hurt. Especially in poor weather, why he’d highlight NOT using it is beyond me.It's definitely possible.
My theory is from an Elon tweet, saying that full Autopilot would be vision-only, no radar. Thus more robust cameras are needed.
I don't know much about self-driving, but I think I'd prefer to have radar included, especially for fog and bad weather.
Agree. There will be a bunch of folks who do a “full” delete even with the refresh.Since they went chrome delete I think they should have made the side mirrors black too. My local SS manager chrome deleted his red S including the mirror housings and it looks great. He has black wheels too which completes the look
Do we have to wear the suits? I mean, really, the helmets seem a bit excessive.I think I’ve found a pic of the refreshed X interior. No more steering wheel, no more windshield (no more glass to crack!). FSD must be ready for full rollout.

If the AP fails and stops in the middle of an intersection you will be happy you had the helmet on.Do we have to wear the suits? I mean, really, the helmets seem a bit excessive.
As long as the suit is fireproof, has added padding, the helmet has it's own air supply and is crash-resistant then yeah, one might just survive that situation.If the AP fails and stops in the middle of an intersection you will be happy you had the helmet on.
Definitely flameproof and sealed. It would hold some air and provide some protection. Seems like a very well-engineered suit.As long as the suit is fireproof, has added padding, the helmet has it's own air supply and is crash-resistant then yeah, one might just survive that situation.
Thanks for posting. I saw something similar on twitter today.I stopped by my SC today and had a chance to sit in a refreshed Model S for a millisecond! Here's what I learned:
@elguapo, the answer is YES! Do I win a prize? LOL!
- It looks like there's a new UI. You can see from the attached photos that the background can change colors. Also (and I'm just comparing to my MX, so this might already be part of M3 and MY) the fonts seem tighter and lighter (not as chunky).
- Lots of swiping to move in an out of screens.
- The screen resolution is much better than my MX for sure! I've never been on a M3 or MY so I don't know how it compares to them.
- The smart shift override is going to be an icon of the car on the left side of the screen. You swipe it up for forward and down for reverse. I took a quick video of me swiping both ways. You can see it here:
- There are cloth inserts in the door panels. There is also black shiny plastic trim over the wood trim on the dash and door. Take a look at the attached photos.
- The side cameras are GINORMOUS! I took a pic of the driver's side camera and one with my two fingers on it for reference of how much they stick out. See attached photos.
- The horn is not on the center of the steering wheel. It's a soft button on the right. See attached photo.
Enjoy guys!
If it were up to me, you’d win a new X! Finally some good pix. Thank you!!!I stopped by my SC today and had a chance to sit in a refreshed Model S for a millisecond! Here's what I learned:
