Tesla Motors is reportedly preparing to give its Model S a fresh new look sometime next year.
The facelift is expected to bring the sedan’s design language closer to the new Model X crossover, according to an Electrek report spotted by Green Car Reports. The rumor is based on alleged comments from a Tesla service advisor.
The claims have yet to be corroborated, however the move would not come as a surprise. Model S production will be entering its fourth year in 2016, seven years after the first prototype was unveiled. The company has revised the available powertrains and introduced Autopilot driving-assistance technology, without yet making any revisions to aesthetic appearance.
If true, the sedan could receive a revised front end with a smaller faux grille, new headlights and redesigned foglight surrounds.
The service representative cited in the original rumor allegedly suggested the facelift will not arrive until the Model 3 makes its debut in March.
