Greetings,
I think Tesla has selected an attractive set of colors for the Model S debut, but I am struck by the lack of any light/bright colors among the cars being delivered in 2012. (White and silver are certainly "light", but they are on the white/black spectrum -- I'm referring here to "colors" that are not some variation of white or black.)
I know (Sunset) Red will debut in 2013, and I'm hoping that it will be the first of a series of brighter colors in the Model S lineup. I thought it would be interesting to talk about what colors we as future owners would like to see. Maybe these choices will actually be available to some of us. (I will be choosing from the set of 8 available to early production buyers.)
So, I'll start! Personally, I wish for a bright blue, not unlike the "Estoril Blue" that I used to have on my BMW M3 back in 1996. Or, like the Audi A5 I saw today (photo below). Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a Model S in the bright orange that I've seen on an Aston Martin Rapide, but I don't know if I'd be able to bite the bullet and actually buy it!
Anybody else?
