"Real" Model S Colors

But Roadster would be the "R" so it all fits. Roadster = "R", Model S = "S", Bluestar = "T," just like the alphabet. They are just mad you guys figured it out .

That's pretty cool. It's been awhile since the Ford Model T came out so I doubt there'd be too much consumer confusion.
Interesting: From Wikipedia "The production model immediately before the Model T was the Ford Model S,[2] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N."

So there was Ford Model S (and a Model R too).

Some old "Model T" discussions:

• Trademarks
• First to notice?

“Development continues toward production for the Model S,” said Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive. “We now have two running prototypes, including the one on display here today.”

By the way, I'm really liking this red now that we have had a chance to see it with a proper camera.








That's 180(ish) deg away from my thoughts on the colour when we saw it last month. Shows the importance of Tesla getting some good publicity stills out there asap I think.

That red is very nice looking on the Model S.

I was looking at a rear picture of the Model S from the NAIAS 2010 Preview on Tesla's website and I don't like how the silver thing on the trunk extends over the tail lights. I think it would look better if they found a clean way to end it at tail lights.

However, maybe it will grow on me. I also may appreciate it more if I saw it in person.
