Interior Options - Model S

[AnOutsider]

I'd like to see it darker as well, but hey, better than nothing. The black looks good though, so I guess I'll stick with that.

Here are some more shots of the boards, and my mistake, it's Zuma not Tuma:

I sincerely hope that Tesla makes additional versions of that board to install in all its stores. It's far better than the display in Santana Row; and stores like DC didn't have anything, even though they had the S Beta skateboard on display.

It looks like Tesla did go with a darker brown after the suggestion was made right here on this site. I like the new Mojave and the Mammoth.

I was told in the tent that the Zuma was the White Leather for the Signatures and not an option on General Production.

@AnOutsider - Thanks for the pics. What are we looking at here? Prototype-era Model S (i.e. pre-December 2011)? A reveal/update on where interior is headed on the initial Model S? 2014 Model S? Model X?

Edit:
Seeing WhiteKnight's post, is it like the following?

Interior

Black	Mammoth
Tan	Mojave?
Grey	Salton
White	Zuma

Exterior

Black
White	Catalina White
Silver	San Simeon Silver
Blue	Monterey Blue
Green	Sequoia Green
Grey	Tiburon Gray
Brown	Anza Brown
Pearl White	Shasta White
Signature Red

That would make sense. So it seems we got a new color, and names for old colors.

This was on the Model S side of the tent, so I think what WK says is right. Old colors, new names, and new color (dark tan/light brown) with new name (Mojave).

As an aside, we need to scour the site better in the future. GeorgeB was a tad disappointed it took us so long to recognize the new interior options available for Performance S's :tongue:

George isn't paying attention then. I posted on it that day.

Actually, he said it had been up for a few days before it was actually mentioned here on TMC.

 

[Beavis]

My bad the. I posted on the TM site. It was a couple more days before it was picked up here.

For the record, I posted when they accidentally changed it the first time. Back on January 12.

It was kind of hard to tell colors from those Zuma, etc photos. As you can see from Outsider's photos, they had swatches of leather on the concept board. I was really struck by how light the gray and tan were, even compared to the white. It really didn't seem to me like it would be that much harder to keep the white clean than the gray or tan. I may go with the white after seeing it. IMO the tan is quite a light tan.

The Zuma was pretty close to white but not a pure white. I think that's only an option on the Signature cars.

I have not seen this concern posted, so forgive me if has already been discussed, but I am not happy that there is only one choice for people who don't want a leather interior. I think at a minimum they should offer the other decor accents with black. Thoughts? I

 

[ljbad4life]

Mojave is exactly what I want for the interior! not too light, not too dark, perfect!

Wait a year.

Tesla's being extremely stingy with choices at the beginning of the production line, probably in order to aid with smooth production while "working the kinks out". The exterior color selection is frankly dreadful, and actually worse on the Signatures. The interior choices can only be described as minimalist.

I expect that the number of decorative options will be increased once Tesla is comfortable with the production line.

Interesting perspective; there are at least 4 exterior colors that would delight me, far more than any <$100k car I've ever researched. I agree that the interior options need expanding.

Just to clarify...
Are you saying the choices are dreadful or the narrowness of choices is?

If the former, I completely disagree.
If the latter, I understand Tesla's priorities and agree with them.

+1

I'm excited about the exterior color selection (on the Production version) because it includes, or will include, several real colors like red, green and blue. It seems as though most car companies currently offer, white, black, silver, and 6 shades of brown/grey (maybe red). I live in Oregon and have plenty of brown/grey in my life already! :wink:

 

[Apropos]

I noticed Next Gen Grey is no longer an option for leather interior, but it was when I ordered a few weeks ago. Was it just not a popular choice? I hope it looks good with Red Multi Coat....
