Looks like P4 got lots of interior upgrades.

Lots of leather accents including the dash, arm rest, door pull, steering wheel, hand brake, etc.

Doug, how do you know that is P4?

Is this just a change of leather or a different steering wheel? The Roadster's steering wheel, borrowed from the Elise, is noticeably small. I doubt that they changed the steering wheel though because that could involve changes in the airbad design. Besides, a small steering wheel is not necessarily a problem; it allows for a more sensitive wheel at the expense of low-speed effort (I think)

P10 & P12
I saw P10 and P12 at the Menlo Park store, waiting for their battery packs to be installed.

P10 is one of the blacks.
P12 is Electric Blue.

I know it can look black, but it's actually signature green.

FYI- P16 was deivered last Friday. The owner highly recomends the "all leather interior upgrade." I have asked for photos.

Sergey Brin with his Roadster in San Francisco.



Looks like he got VIN F007 (Radiant Red). Also he's having trouble closing his trunk. I've noticed in the past that it's a little tricky.
