Here is the first known picture of a 2010 Tesla Roadster interior.
This one is VIN #501.

This one has the executive leather option. Not a customer car. This is an engineering vehicle.
Notice the contrast stitching, the console in the center of the car, push button shifting, glove box, etc.

Is that VIN # confirmed? They were supposed to jump from 500 to 600 (601?) when they did the 2008 to 2010 jump. If it's a VP / Marketing car maybe all the marketing cars could be 500 series cars...

Still not a double DIN

I was told it is VIN #501 and it is an engineering Roadster.

Sorry to see that this one still has the JVC Audio/Nav unit. I had heard they were going to replace this for 2010. Maybe not yet. Darn!

I had never heard they ever had a plan to just skip 100 VINs. However, you are right that the VPs essentially have their own VIN sequence. So probably we need some confirmation.

Nice to have a glove box. The VDS seems smaller in that location somehow. Notice also, that since it's no longer hidden in the shadows, it may be harder to read in direct sunlight. At that angle, you might even get direct sun reflections driving mid day.

What's that hatched rectangle down and left of the HVAC controls?

Double DIN can't be done with the current chassis. At least without redoing the crash testing.

And the Sport mockup:

The leather border surrounding the VDS looks much too thick to be proportionally pleasing. The renderings I've previously seen is much more appealing than this. I hope this isn't final.

Here's the rendering of the VDS area. This is what I was expecting:

WOW, a glove box. THAT is a nice feature. My 2008 has no storage other than the tray. Does the AC in the 2010 work? That would be a nice upgrade too.

Not really a fan of replacing the lever with buttons...but otherwise, it's a more aesthetically-pleasing interior.
