We ordered a 2015 Tab CS-S Max and then received an email stating that it would be a 2016 model.  I don't believe there were any changes made between the 2015 mode but wanted to check in with members of this forum to see if that's true.  Thank you!

    Hmmmm - That link doesn't get me there, just gets me the home page. Looks like it should though.

    As per kabob, here are the changes for 2016:
    • 3D Logos
    • 100% Azdel Backers
    • Radial Tires (2015)
    • 30 amp power cord w/ built in LED light (2015)
    • Fantastic Fans will be clamp on which makes them screw free
    • Corrugated underbelly protectant & insulation
    • No fabric on window valances (they will be like the Outback)
    • Seat Panel Finger Inserts for Finished Look & EZ Opening
    • Upgrade upholstery foam's density
    I noted that my 2015 had two of the listed features.

    What, there really is foam in mine? Feels like I sitting on plywood =)

    Good for  for the factory making that upgrade.

    Ya, the current foam sucks - I suppose it's ok if you don't spend any time inside except when it's made into a bed but otherwise, ain't working.
    I have a sister-law that knows upholstery and retired the interior on my brothers old VW bus. Hoping I can get her to redo the foam and maybe a different color on the seat cushions.
    Wonder what they are replacing it with.

    I never thought of reupholstering the seats, I've done a VW Beetle a couple of times and took the fabric seat covers off of our Prius and installed leather but I've never done a T@B.  I'll have to give that one some thought-thanks!

    Thank you so much everyone!  I had been told by my dealer (wow, that doesn't sound very good lol) that there were no changes between the 2015 and 2016.  I really appreciate this forum because you are all more informed than the dealership.

    I can't wait until our Tab arrives (supposed to be here mid-June!  Already ordered the Travasak...but I'm very happy to hear that LG upgraded the foam.  I had asked if they would sell me slats for the bed (read on another post that LG offered "table top" slats) but I was told they do not offer any slats and, taking it a step further, do not recommend taking the table out and using it outside.  My guess is that they were referring to using the table in an unprotected space?
