Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last month the first deliveries of the refresh Tesla Model S will begin in February. With just a few days left in the month, he may still meet that target as the first vehicles have been spotted in the shipping and logistics lot ready to be delivered to their lucky new owners.
Spotted by Ryan Levenson from The Kilowatts, a blue Model S was pictured in the lot with the window trim wrap and bar code stickers indicating this is not a test vehicle and will be delivered to a customer.
HERE WE GO!!!

This wasn’t the only vehicle seen today. While driving around the Fremont factory, Levenson saw another 5 refresh Model S, all with the same indications that they were destined for customer deliveries.

As we can see from the images, and confirmed by Levenson, all of the vehicles had the round steering wheel.
