The updates are relatively mild, to say the least. The biggest change is the addition of a camera in the front bumper.
Many industry watchers have been highlighting the need for a front bumper camera as a much-needed update to Tesla’s camera array. There are a few blind spots in Tesla’s current camera array, and some are particularly concerned about the ability to detect potholes and other smaller obstacles on the road.
A front bumper camera will help with that.
The blue tape in The Killowatts’ pictures also suggests that Tesla is adding light strips inside the Model S and Model X, similar to what it did with the Model 3 and Model Y over the past year.
There are also slight updates to the front-end and rear diffuser. A Model S Plaid prototype was also spotted on the Nurburgring race track last week with slight camouflage on the front and back bumpers, which would also point to slight updates to the front and rear ends.
Model S and Model X were last updated starting in 2021.
Electrek’s Take
Design-wise, this is as mild as an update gets. Tesla is adding RGB lighting strips to the interior of its vehicles and calling it an update.
