Tesla pressed the pause button on Model S and Model Y production on December 24 and is expected to hit play again on January 11. It is believed the hiatus is related to a much-expected design update the electric sedan and SUV are bound to go through. Adding fuel to this rumor is a new spy video showing what looks like a Model S facelift undergoing testing on public roads.<\/p>\n

Shared on YouTube today by the user The Kilowatts<\/a><\/em>, the footage shows a Model S that belongs to Tesla since the EV carried manufacturer plates. In other words, this isn\u2019t a car equipped with aftermarket equipment, even though the wider body might suggest the car stopped by a tuner shop. Also noticeable is the lack of chrome exterior trim, revised diffuser, and possibly a new alloy wheel design.<\/p>\n

A closer look at the front fascia shows the bumper has been modified to accommodate a new set of LED fog lights that take the shape of a horizontal light strip rather than the vertical clusters of the current Model S. The car was filmed near the company\u2019s HQ in Palo Alto, California and some say it\u2019s the range-topping Plaid version judging by the beefier wheel arches.<\/p>\n
