I drove that car...Lacewood interior confirmed. Was a good combination. Couldn't remember in my drive summary of it was tan or silver, but I fully remember now.

Yeah, and only comes with options I do not want...(perf.package, leather etc.).

I shot the front inside as well, and though a bit difficult to make out due to lighting, lacewood's identifying pattern is still apparent. So this car's interior was outfitted with lacewood. As a side note, I have one of the first Olympia auto-focus digital cameras and it is very slow to snap the picture when there are light and dark together; which obviously black and grey are. It's also exceeding slow when your holding up Tesla's car cue and I am grateful to Tesla for allowing me to shoot these.

Tommy, thank you for sharing the photographs. I love the grey interior with the lacewood!
Did you find the different color of the headliner noticeable? In the photograph you provided it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it might.
You may have helped me decide on my interior options. Thanks.

And surely you wouldn't delay delivery by 2-3 months just to get the Gray, would you? Our numbers ought to be up ~early November.
My error--I was thinking the Sunset Red 2013 timetable. It'll be interesting to learn when they'll let people start ordering cars configured with Gray interior.
Thanks Tommy. That's so weird, that looks like the older lacewood patterns that I actually liked. Here's a comparison of old to new from the various pics I've collected:

NEW:
So now I'm confused as to which version is the most recent and will be in the final cars...

It was definitely not the old version. Methinks the camera doth play tricks on thine eyes.

I am in a bit of the same quandary myself. To my eye, the grey leather and black dashboard really complement each other so well. However, the headliner's different color was not the issue, it's the pillar posts parchment color being adjacent to the black and grey. That's three colors adjacent to one another and that looks a bit busy to my eyes but not off putting. I prefer the grey/black combo, but as an integrated look would also consider the tan leather as that complements both the headliner, pillar and black dash. An all black dash and leather would obviously work as well, thou I personally like the lighter color for my seats.
I am going to give it a second look, and really once you're behind the wheel a lot of these details get lost in the enjoyment of the car itself.

I was worried about the grey clashing with the green as well and pulled up other Manufacturer's sites (Audi, BMW, MBZ, Porche & Jag) to see if grey is even an option with a green exterior; most don't even offer a green exterior. Jaguar does offer a green exterior and also offers a grey interior as an option with that color. Put my doubts a bit to rest. My taste might be odd as I really like the black/grey combo with the green exterior; at least Jag doesn't mind making their cars in this flavor.

That'd definitely be quite courageous, Tommy!
Was thinking of the Gray interior as I wanted to get away from all the Black crush inside (particularly if I went with Piano Black - Obeche may make things a bit better on that front). I'd have surely gone with the Gray leather with the Blue exterior had Blue been a bit brighter but, sadly, it's not...
I'll stick with the relatively conservative Green exterior - Black leather - Obeche Matte trim.
Got an email today that my config was changed to carbon fiber. Watch some pictures of matte obeche with black leather leak out and have me teetering again

I was all over the lacewood a few months ago after seeing some updated photos. But now seeing it last weekend in the flesh, I don't know what to do now. I agree that the pictures of the grey interior, with the lacewood - that's a fine match no doubt about it. We are either going to go brown or grey paint. If we get the grey, then the lacewood with grey interior is choice. But we are leaning towards brown exterior, so tan leather will be what we go with. I don't think the lacewood would work there. And I'm not too impressed with the Obeche wood - too much vertical grain - reminds me of a 70's veneer. Piano black doesn't impress me either, no texture. Hmm..
+1 for brushed aluminum. Some others on the forum have mentioned that as an idea. That would be nice up against the leather. But we may have to go with the obeche if we pick the brown exterior.

I was an early champion for brushed aluminum, but to be honest, I think it would be too much here. BA should be an accent, but there's too much dash to cover here and it would end up being a strong focal point IMO.
