Tesla Model S Refreshed
Tesla.com
Model S gains similar front to Model X and some feature content
Adaptive Lighting
Model S now features full LED adaptive headlamps. Besides enhancing the already great styling, they also boost safety: 14 three-position LED dynamic turning lights improve visibility at night, especially on winding roads.
HEPA Air Filter
Model S now features a Medical grade HEPA air filtration system, which removes at least 99.97% of particulate exhaust pollution and effectively all allergens, bacteria and other contaminants from cabin air.

Tesla is not as luxurious as they are perceived to be. Tesla themselves state that Tesla designs and manufactures Premium electric vehicles.
The Model S does compare well with some flagships based on it's abundant technology, performance, quiet cabin, and safety. However, sit inside and some materials are cheap to the touch. The Mercedes-Benz parts bin window switches don't make it a Mercedes nor any fanicer

all that being said, i like the change, but it is really a minor one.

This Tesla is great in theory, but dreadful in practise.
Spwlf & Hoovey, I can't wait till Lexus releases their electric vehicle EV.
Any idea roughly when this will happen?
EV should be better than Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell, right?

I can't imagine hoards of customers wrote in to Tesla complaining they didn't want their cars to have grilles. Ugly facelift. The trend is way on the other side of having prominent grilles. If this starts an entire new direction for luxury cars (it often starts with things like this, by companies such as these), Lexus and Audi are in trouble.

If the X and 3 were any indication, we should have seen this coming for the S. It's very possible we're witnessing Tesla settle on and adopt a corporate face
