Casual viewers will notice the cleaner fascia that gets rid of the large, fake plastic grille replacing it with a slim decorative insert surrounding the Tesla logo and the re-profiled bumper with a slightly enlarged lower vent, while fans of the series will point to the tweaked headlamps that now feature full LED adaptive units with "14 three-position LED dynamic turning lights" as well.
These minor revisions bring the 2017 Model S’ exterior more in line with the Model X, as well as the upcoming Model 3 that was previewed in pre-production trim earlier last month.
Inside, the 2017 Model S gets two new trim accents, Figured Ash Wood Décor and Dark Ash Wood Décor, while also nabbing the Model X’s "medical grade" HEPA air-filtration system, which according to Tesla, “removes at least 99.97% of particulate exhaust pollution and effectively all allergens, bacteria and other contaminants from cabin air”.
Prices have increased by $1,500 across the board, with the base 70D Model S starting from $76,500.

Tesla is surely goin' the wrong way when it comes to the design of their cars. First the Model X, then the Model 3, and now this terrible facelift.
I HATE the lack of a grille in the front of the car, it looks so empty now...

100% agree, new Tesla's look like toy cars now... Elon Musk will sure notice that wrong design when the orders stop coming in.
Maybe you can get a aftermarked bumper for it.

Saleen did a bodykit for the original S, also removed the fake grille.

Saleen did a better Job on the front, IMO. So you probably can still grab that for the new one or wait for an adaption from Saleen.
Maybe it is time to show the real face of the electrical cars. They do not need grilles.
And just to remind you, back in the days when the first cars were made, they looked like Horse carriages. That changed too when Horses were not needed anymore.
