yeah - i couldn't tell either. I imagine that particular distinction will have to be seen in real life to really be appreciated.
And on the general comments - i was all about pearl white/black interior, but i actually really like the way the tan interior looks - i know there was a lot of complaints about the 2 tone, but in that picture, i think it looks really nice.

It's still there seemingly. In pics of the exterior, it appears to be glass while in those of the interior, it looks solid black and maybe smaller too.
What kind of plug is that she's holding?

I'm not sure exactly where I heard this, but I'm certain that someone official has said that they're identical except for the finish.
At one point I was told "cast" vs. "forged" was a difference between the two, but I never explored the assertion further.

Okay, here are my choices for interior/exterior. Still trying to decide on the Lacewood vs. CF, though.
I think you are right, and I am pretty sure it is posted somewhere on this site.
I think it is unlikely that Tesla would pay for tooling to make both forged and cast versions of the same wheel. They are much smarter with their money than that.

It's for my Model X.

@ddenboer: I'm thinking the same: blue, grey, lacewood. I'll probably not get the pano. The tan shouldhave been my first choice interior, but the black & tan bicolor, with the off-white headliner, just looks too jumbled. I really wish they had put a tan-interior Beta in the mix at Santana Row so we could really see how that played.
Okay, here's my crack at it:
For the interior, I like black. The red highlights look great. I'm really glad they came up with the CF option for Performance.
I didn't like how the "Performance Wheels" looked with the red. Is it just me or did that look funny, especially with the other chrome parts. I think I'd have to see it in person to be sure.

I too am considering the blue exterior although I was initially leaning toward black. I think the CF looks great, but non an option for my non-performance S. What do you all think about the lacewood versus piano black with the black leather interior?
I'm considering blue as well, although I was initially leaning toward black. I'd go with CF, but not an option on my non-performance S, so it's down to lacewood or piano black for me. How did the lacewood look in the beta cars?

I love the doors on this earlier prototype and sort of prefer the lack of chrome on it (the door handles for one). Just an observation, but the older rims have 9 "spokes" vs. the 10 in the current rims. It sort of makes it look less cluttered. It's another reason I prefer the 19" rims.
Yea, the prototype is still my favorite. I wasn't fond of the Alpha's, the lines were too harsh, then the Beta's softened up again as sort of a middle ground between the prototype and alpha.
