USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Looks like they reimagined it! Apparently it's now a tanning salon.
The big window on top (TOS-R) now filters sunlight when orbiting nearer a star, because sometimes landing parties just don't give you that healthy tan.
You have to look your best when you're encountering Strange New Worlds.
I can't see the second promo video for season 2 but some people are saying there is an Enterprise with straight nacelle struts on a screen in the background. Is this true?

Hmmm, straight (still bifurcated) struts and a TOS impulse deck. I cannot make out the registry number (all the specifications are blurred) but it doesn't look like it ends in 01. Perhaps this is the USS Constitution, and the Enterprise and Defiant both vary in ways they couldn't cheaply depict in the 60's.
Trekyards had a discussion on the information seen in the graphic seen in the clip. They have an enhanced view of it. It canonizes the Star Trek Chronology information about the service career of the ship. The overall dimensions are copied from Starship Spotter and from Franz Joseph's technical manual (the crew complement, for one).
The orthos look pretty similar to the ones John Eaves drew up that have appeared in a recent talk and in the new "art of" book. I would guess that they're a preliminary version of the design, before the pylons were swept back and the other final adjustments that happened when the model was being built. It's not unprecedented; in season one, bridge displays on the Discovery used an older exterior design for the ship (as seen in behind-the-scenes shots and promos), but were CG'd with the final design in the actual episode.
So it's just another instance of the 2D graphics crew copying something from another source, not necessarily canon, but the closest we got until something else comes along.
Last season we had maps taken from Starcharts, which had information and planets that shouldn't been known yet. Including information about the Enterprise-A
The straight pylons are odd though, considering they've had a model with the angled ones since probably late last year.

Not even cheaply? Hmmm.
Unfortunately it's a production photo/video so unless it's in an episode it isn't canon.
Maybe the scene was shot during the Season 1 finale, before they had the final CG model.
TrekYards speculates that this might be from the end of the Season with the ship being refit, but I don't think so. Seems odd that Discovery would have that information up.
Well it might be come January. Unless they change it in post-production, or cut any shots.

I doubt it.
This just seems to be a case of copying info for an outside source with no fact checking.
And we've seen the angled pylons colouring in 2-3 trailers already.
The specs were copied directly from the Franz Josef Tech Manual. Only difference is some name labels, i.e. It says Phaser Emitters, not banks.That's a pretty HUGE-ARSE and Very Obvious wall panel.
I rather doubt that the FACTS weren't checked before something like that was OK'd.
And again these are the same people who nearly 1:1 copied the 2004 star charts book which had info post-2250s

True...
BUT... We're talking about the MOST ICONIC Spaceship in the history of Trek.
(or Sci-Fi in general for that matter)
I really can't believe that They just slapped together something that They obviously knew was going to be projected on a super huge background screen, without considering its effect or having the approval of Kurtzman.

As I said, it's 2018. The panel can be painted over in post. They replaced outdated graphics of the Discovery itself that were on-set in season one with the final version of the ship. Heck, they probably replaced that very same panel.

probably a bit harder with a transparent panel.
It's also got, in several places, light panel reflections from the set.
Anyway, I can't see Kurtzman letting something this substantial, go public only to have it changed in the actual series.
It seems to me lately, They have been going out of Their way trying to appease and restore confidence with the fandom.
If you're right, then it would be considered a big FU to those paying attention.
We already pretty much know thanks to John Eaves, that the CGI effects from Season 1 were done in such a manner that seemed like the Left Hand didn't know what the Right hand was doing.
The CGI effects team took it upon themselves to alter already approved designs and things were so rushed that what got made was used regardless of the quality or correctness.
This time around, Kurtzman and Co. had a much tighter grip on the production and also weren't forced to rush things due to constant last minute changes out of Their control.
It just seems to me that what you suggest, doesn't make much sense based on what has been presented so far.
