Good update overall - front styling is a Huge improvement.
It looks less goofy now.

I'm confused about the headlights - is it the very thin strip on either side of the full length light in the middle? That looks really small...

It looks like a light bar similar to the CT. They have also made the headlights thinner, similar to the new Model 3
But these are definitely a re-design, a way thinner version

The headlight is right below the drl where the vents are on the bumper.
After soaking in the design I think the front is a massive improvement. Press photos looks a lot better. The rear, I wish they did something below the rear light bar. It looks like just one plain flat slab of metal.

I think it looks great. I appreciate that they have differentiated it from the 3 so it doesn't just look like a taller 3.
I love the lightbar, I like that its like a big indirect ambient strip

such praise.
but seriously, new lights front/back are not exactly huge changes. the interior has nicer seats and ambient lighting and not much else.
the big news here is it will drive more comfortably and quieter than before.
will be interested to know if the range has improved.

Range is up a 3-5% so not much.
