"The key should match the color of the car..."

I've shown the car to dozens of people in the last month-and-a-half. At least five people have made this comment to me when I show them the key. It's the only "flaw" that anyone has been able to point out after experiencing the car. Maybe color-matched keys would have gotten Tesla to an even 100 in Consumer Reports' road test. ;-)
 
First thought "The carpet should match the drapes" :)

Seriously though, I think for the Gen3, with a much larger production run planned, they could certainly use different color plastics on the injection molder that makes the keyfobs, but it's just an extra inventory expense and logistics issue right now. I'm not sure it adds value either. As a owner my feeling is "sure, nice", as a stockholder, I'd rather they put the money/energy into fixing the vampire power draw, and engineering a Chademo adapter, you know, things that will enhance the Model S in a meaningful way.
