I am looking for some advice on color choice here. I have narrowed down my exterior color choice to Radiant Red or Electric Blue.

If I go with Radiant Red, I will do red/black two tone premium leather.
If I go with Electric Blue, I will do saddle/black two tone premium leather.

I am also planning on doing the black tesla wheels, so that comes into play also. I was told by Tesla Motors that we will have real pictures of the black wheels by next month.

Here are the images. Which do you like better?

Personally, I love the Radiant Red color. It would be very difficult to go wrong with that. The Electric Blue is great too, but for me, I like the Red better.

I think the black wheels will look good with Red. Not sure about the Blue though, I think the Silver would be better with Blue.

I think the Saddle/Black looks good with the blue.

The Red/Black *should* look good with the Red - but I recommend looking at it in person if you can find it. The Red Leather is not an exact color match of the Red exterior, which you might not like.

I like both of those interior color selections with those exterior colors.

The red is more "classic sports car", but the blue seems more elegant somehow.

If you want more envy and kudos probably the red. For the blue more subdued respect and appreciation. High five vs secret handshake. Classic vs classy.

By the way, I assume you noticed that the headrest was still black on the red example, but the blue one has the saddle headrest.

Would you want non-black headrest for either choice?

That is a good way to describe the difference between the two colors. I am not sure which one I want more.

I did that intentionally. With the Red, I don't like the red headrest. I prefer it black with that color scheme.

But with electric blue, it just seems right to have the headrest also be the saddle color.

What would you suggest as an interior to go with the Radiant Red? I am open to ideas here.

I don't really care for the Saddle/ Black combo with the blue car. Actually it is the Saddle part that I am not enthusiatic about. Kinda too many colors going on thing for me and too bold of a change. Just my opinion. I thing the Blue with Black wheels and black seats would be a nice combo.

I really like premium two-tone, rally 1 or rally 2, black/light gray, black (or light gray) head restraint with and Electric Blue Tesla.

I like the black and light gray combo because it really makes the aluminum color interior pieces stand out...take a look in the interior color options page.

Just hearing the Black/Grey option made me perk up. That sounds like it would be MUCH better with the Blue.
