This is Tesla, no quality control including in their marketing. Don’t forget, they also list features in the model S which still haven’t been activated. Did any forum members make it out to the list of events? Any word yet

Spot on what I mentioned yesterday - trunk, appliqué, lights and quarter panel all could need to be swapped out to make this work.
@EndlessPlaid - my friend went to the showroom on Santana Row. No Plaid inside, but he scoped out the parking lot where they keep vehicles and saw one. It didn't have plates, but no idea if it was a customer delivery or not. Anyways, old lights.

Tesla inconspicuously shows off new Model S taillights in event listing
Tesla was planning to show off new Model S headlights and taillights at a special event in Taiwan last month. However after pictures surfaced online a few hours before the event officially took place, Tesla […]driveteslacanada.ca

AFAIK, Santana Row doesn't handle any customer deliveries. It's only a showroom and test drive location. Quite sure that the one you saw is the test drive vehicle, especially if it was parked in the parking lot. Most if not all vehicles there are test drive vehicles.@EndlessPlaid - my friend went to the showroom on Santana Row.

I'm not seeing a sharper point, it looks the same to me.
I initially thought we were going to need new body panels, but seeing them it looks like they fit right in. They're not going to be retrofittable easily though, since the charge port is further back in the new taillight assembly. The EPC shows different busbars, the new ones are probably an inch or two longer, so those would have to be replaced to fit the new chargeport.

No way they retooled the quarter panels. Not likely the trunk either. There's just no need for it. New applique can click into the same trunk snap locations.
They have to be messing with us , teasing.
Why would they upload a new image and then remove it..

They're not so much messing with us as messing up lol. I think they put that image in there by accident.
That's what happens when you assign tasks you think are mundane to an intern. Meanwhile they have no idea we're out here watching every single word coming from Tesla.
I'm no expert, but I'd think this changing this much sheet metal would require crash testing and recertification... a lot of effort for tail lights and headlights.

Does Tesla ever come up on the trade-in offer? I haven’t accepted mine yet, and my delivery Is next week. I asked the unnamed person texting me about delivery to raise the offer.
If your trade valuation expires while you're waiting for delivery it will be re-evaluated, and I've read on this thread a number of times that the new number is higher than the old one (crazy used car market that it is right now). If you're just looking to negotiate a better number... I don't think Tesla does that, unfortunately. I'd love to be proved wrong, though.

I see EP is in the news again, quoted by Drive Tesla Canada.
Based on feedback that I had gotten this week, trade in value is non-negotiable from Tesla. Depending on the car/mileage, I have seen numbers all over the place, between what Tesla offers and comparative offers from others like vroom, carvana etc.

Another 80 pages to go. I wonder if all the battery day orders will be filled by then...
