Reekdog Many of us are curious as to what the "2016 Facelift" actually looks like in person. It looks like they're showing up outside of the US but so far. I haven't found one in the Los Angeles area.
Let's use this thread to locate and list which showrooms get them.�
Apr 26, 2016
mblakele Yesterday I saw a red one in the Dublin, CA showroom.�
Apr 26, 2016
AEdennis I would check Century City first, and then Newport Fashion Island for OC... (not that I have, but just guess that would probably be the first stores to get it.)�
Apr 26, 2016
Reekdog Tried century city, pasadena and santa monica... nothing yet�
Apr 26, 2016
AEdennis All good options... The one in Costa Mesa already has the NEW PICTURES, but not the car yet.�
Apr 26, 2016
Reekdog Pasadena had the new interior Wood Trim options but no car as yet.�
Apr 26, 2016
Mike K Burbank finally has an X but no new S.�
Apr 27, 2016
remarc Santa Monica on 3rd street just got a new Model S with facelift on the floor yesterday. In RED.�
Apr 27, 2016
Reekdog Fantastic, I'll go by there tomorrow! Any other locations get one in yet?�
Apr 27, 2016
Tree95 Rocklin, CA had one Monday.�
Apr 27, 2016
sorka I saw three at the Fremont supercharger yesterday so I'm assuming these are units being delivered to customers. It was morning around 10:00 AM. And when you say 2016, I assume you mean the refresh rather than a 2016 that does not have the new new front.�
Apr 27, 2016
Reekdog Wow, that's good news and Yes the new front end thanks
BTW this thread is for everyone so the showrooms can be in any state�
Apr 27, 2016
Bonlaw Spoke with Fashion Island today. They have a red one to look at.�
Apr 27, 2016
Reekdog Sweet�

Camera-Cruiser Red in Buena Park!
Connor O'Neill was my advisor for my CPO. Good guy, knows his stuff. He said all California cars come with the front licensed plate mount installed. He showed me how two screws hold it on, in the mouth, and that the top has a couple of pieces of sticky tape. You can easily feel them by just running your fingers under the lip below the frame. So no holes if your remove it.
We were talking, so I forgot to shoot the tail end, but it looks nice. For now I prefer the diffuser on the old S, but by a small margin. The facelift S reads 100% Tesla, just touched up a bit.
In person, the car looks smaller than my S. or the other S that was on the showroom floor. I think the body colored rocker panels create this illusion.
�
Apr 27, 2016
Reekdog Thanks camera cruiser, BTW which wood trim did it have?�
Apr 27, 2016
Camera-Cruiser The black Ash, and I thought it looked like Piano Black, actually. I didn't sit in the car long since it made me want to start handing unearned income over the longer I was in it. I have gen 1 seats, so these felt real good. Plus the interior was black on black, which was even more tempting. The only thing I didn't like were the slipstream wheels in person. From a few feet away they look fine, but as you get closer, they look like hubcaps because of the way the molded the wheels. Weird.�
Apr 27, 2016
eclipxe Mission Viejo has it�
Apr 27, 2016
eclipxe I don't believe any of the refreshed models for customer delivery have entered production yet.�
Apr 27, 2016
kp.sfo It struck me when I first saw your pictures why they would mount a front license plate holder on a showroom car. Perhaps they want the front to look a bit less different from the pre-facelift Model S?
Edit: Seems like this thread has the answer:
Model S Refresh: License Holder Part of Bumper?�
Apr 27, 2016
Bjornen My refreshed Model S came out of production yesterday, so I guess focus are on the Europe market right now.�
Apr 27, 2016
sorka Wish they'd open up Fremont 2 because if those are pre-production cars that caused me to wait 10 minutes to charge, I'm going to be really pissed
�
Apr 27, 2016
GasKilla I saw a MS and a MX parked next to each other on the street and I really prefer the "classic" MS front end over the new front end. Am I alone in this thinking? Not really a fan of the way the frunk meets the hood on the new design, but I'd take the increased range�
Apr 28, 2016
geovision Chiming in for WA state......Bellevue Square received a new Model S today.�
Apr 28, 2016
Mattzilla What color? Let's get some pics!�

Model S Refresh: License Holder Part of Bumper?�
Apr 28, 2016
patrick42h The Indianapolis showroom has a red 70D with the new front end. I went in and saw it on Tuesday. It looks really nice.�
Apr 28, 2016
Parebalo The newly opened Alpharetta, Ga, Avalon Mall store has a new red 70D. I'm really liking the new nose job. Super opening store bash tonight.... Well done Avalon Store!�
Apr 28, 2016
Reekdog went to the Santa Monica location today and saw the "Face Lift" MS up close! its really nice in person and the new headlights are sexy. the center console is much nicer that the original add on much better made. Just like the MX version, the top panel smoothly slides up with minimal effort to reveal a spacious storage area for drinks and/or personal items. when its time to close it, just a slight push of your finger and, the panel automatically slides back to it's original position. The "rear" cup holders, (sorry, nothing in the back seat area) are actually the same ones that are resting under the sliding arm rests.
Something else I found out thanks to Gordon, the new painted rocker panels don't stop on the sides but curve around and continue under the car about 6" or so for a smooth/clean look.
I also ran my fingers under the lip where front license plate is attached, you can feel the 2 screws that hold it in place and they are easily removed for a "clean look". No need to worry, as the screw are so far under the edge you have to get down on the ground and look up to see them. I tried to take a pict but wasn't able to get my phone far enough under to see the screws.

Apr 28, 2016
Hugh Mannity Was there a sale on red paint or something? Every single car in the stores are red? Not a complaint, merely interesting.�
Apr 28, 2016
Reekdog 
LOL my thoughts exactly. I did see this shot of the license plate mounting point under the bumper lip on, wait for it... a Black facelift car!
�
Apr 28, 2016
bradjc Did you notice how it attaches at the top? I haven't seen any hard evidence from anyone yet! Double sided tape? I guess it is, but straight from the factory it seems like a strange way to secure something to a very expensive luxury car. Bits held on with sticky tape.�
Apr 29, 2016
Reekdog It's hard to tell because it is a tight fit. I OK, the way the bracket is mounted, it appears to slide in and up and then basically held in place with the lone 2 bolts/screws at the bottom�
Apr 29, 2016
Reekdog Just curious, what color?�
Apr 29, 2016
Reekdog Sounds like Elon is taking a page out of Henry Ford's book for the showroom samples..."you can have any color you want, as long as it's RED!"�
Apr 30, 2016
BluestarE3 Was at The Village mall in Corte Madera, CA today and the store there has a Refreshed Red on display. As much as I love the "timeless" design of the Model S, the new coneless nose looks much better, especially seeing it in person.�
Apr 30, 2016
Lightmatrix Tesla corporate color = Red. We had one of the Las Vegas Social events here today. Everything in the store had the new facelifted image, however no facelifted MS at this time. They had a red MX for us to play with, included the new matte wood which looks okay. The dark almost piano black is really pretty, but could be a bit lighter so you can see the grain more. No ETA on a facelifted MS for the store.�
Apr 30, 2016
David29 I was told by a sales guy a few months ago that Tesla was standardizing on showroom models -- all would be red and have a certain set of wheels and tires (I forget exactly which). That was when the showroom had only Model S. The one Model X I have seen in a store was not red, it was gray or black.
Also, the Dedham (MA) store had a facelift Model S in its back lot today so I would not be surprised to see it in the showroom soon.�
May 3, 2016
geovision Its a Red 70D.�
May 4, 2016
Reekdog Watched the sale men remove the license plate frame at a local Showroom, it's held in place with double sided tape and 2 bolts underneath the front lip. The tape removes relatively easy and the bolt holes are recessed so you can't even tell the plate mount was there.
�
May 5, 2016
David29 I was told this AM that the store at the Natick Mall in Natick MA has the facelifted Model S in its showroom (a red one). Dedham MA store should have one in a few days.�
May 5, 2016
eclipxe What tool did they use? Can't find it anywhere�
May 5, 2016
AnonNJ Paramus, NJ has them delivering to customers. My DS looked for camera differences on Classic S, preproduction showroom S, and refresh customer S and cannot spot anything visibly different. Also does not appear to be a GVWR difference on 90's or other battery markings that suggest there are 100s tucked away in there.�
May 5, 2016
AnonNJ Needle nose vice grip pliers�
May 5, 2016
eclipxe If you can check if the refreshed customer S was an order that was placed pre design center changes and got upgraded (vs a model ordered at the new price)�
May 5, 2016
AnonNJ I'm inquiring.�
May 5, 2016
Reekdog It a star head driver similar to a Phillips head srewdriver. You can get them at your major hardware store along with some WD40 to help remove the adhesive tape.�

eclipxe The bolt is an e-torx male. Can't find an e-torx female with 6 spokes�
May 5, 2016
Reekdog Try home depot, lowes, sears or the equivalent in your area. Here
You don't have to buy the whole set they sell individual torx sockets. Also, check with Fry's electronics they have the screwdriver version and may go up to the size you need.�
May 5, 2016
Alex D I contacted my DS today and he confirmed that the Service Center will remove the front license plate holder for me and that there will be absolutely no damage or holes in the front afterwards.�
May 5, 2016
eclipxe Actually its 5 spokes.
See: Want to remove the license plate on the refresh? Better have something to use on this�

Dithermaster Highland Park, IL showroom also has a red refreshed 70D with 19" slipstream wheels.�

Tslagrl1 We can't get it off! Any solution yet?�

Tslagrl1 WE TOOK IT OFF!!! YAYYY!!!!�

TaoJones Not when I was there last. It's been a couple of weeks. White MX, Red pre-facelift MS. No wrinkles, tho.�
May 7, 2016
NoPetrolDream Went by Fort Worth, Texas Tesla store Thursday night. It has a red second generation Model S on display. I really like the new nosecone and headlights. Store was closed so I could not see car's interior. Out in the parking lot there were four demo cars, all first gen. Still all great looking rides.�

May 8, 2016
Troyrod Went to the 'Tesla Social' today at the Burbank location. They have a refreshed red 70D.
The social itself was kinda lame: 1 MX in the parking lot, no M3, and pastries from Vons. Almost forgot, they had a trip planner tutorial before i got there.�
May 9, 2016
ecarfan Burlingame CA showroom has a refreshed 70D on display.�
May 9, 2016
MorrisonHiker We were in the neighborhood on Saturday so we stopped by the Denver/Lonetree store hoping to see the refreshed S. We were surprised that they still didn't have one. Hopefully they will get one soon!�

Zaphod Can't imagine its on with a lot of torque, however could have some threadlocker on it. I would assume a vice-grips would work. Granted you may mess up the bolt head somewhat, but shouldn't be too much of a concern.�
