See my original post for background: center console | Forums | Tesla Motors
I moved to here so i can upload pics.
I've now firmed up a quote for this center console. I drew a picture (not to scale) but will serve as the guiding principle for the construction. I've committed to having 10 of these made for a total of $3,800. That's $380 per center console.
i) fit/finish: sides will be black leather; top will be black acrylic to match factory.
ii) two cup holders toward the back (closest to usb plugs) - see diagram
iii) a plate which will accept a phone mount on the left side (the proclipusa mounts will allow you to mount it at an upward angle)
iv) a tray that can store the misc. on the right side of the phone (i'm thinking sunglasses)
v) beyond that we would have a concealed compartment that would extend up to the factory tray. It would be accessed by some sort of roll up or flip up door (TBD)
Timing: Will be done inside two weeks.
Options/Colors: To quote Ford - you can have any colors you want as long as its black leather with the shiny black acrylic top. For this price he is not willing to customize colors. He's willing to add a second color combo but he would likely need a sample (donor car) to match it to and he would need several of the 10 orders in that color combo.
Location: Work is being done by an upholstery shop in Mountain View.
Can we get 10 people in the bay area who would like to pick up their consoles (as I really prefer to not ship these things around)? I'm not looking to make a dime on this transaction - I'll pay for mine just the same as everyone else and i'll have to give my car up for 3 days to have it built.
Now who's in?
