I'm guessing Muir Red is metallic? Has anyone looked at it closely?

Here's the picture from the October 1st event.

They've now fixed this $900 typo.

OK, so now we know why they haven't hired a proof-reader; they have brianman and gg!

Actually I found one more typo:
It seems the tech package is listed at $3750, while it should actually be, say... $1750. Tesla, can you go ahead and fix that too? Tesla... Hello?

 

[Mycroft]

Nice try Trnsl8r.

I think a lot of the people buying the HPC are simply looking to have a second charger, so that the mobile charger can stay stowed away in the car all the time, and they can just pull into their garage and plug in. I could not imagine taking a model s out in the public charging station wasteland that is also known as Cincinnati without at least bringing along the means to pug into a 110 or 220 outlet if I get myself into trouble range wise. As a result, I will either need to buy a second mobile charger, or a HPC.

Surely an extra mobile charger would be much less than $1200?

If it is, it won't be by much. The Roadster UMC is $1,500!

The cost to produce the ridiculously heavy and overengineered Roadster connector has to be a lot more than the sleek Model S connector.

Wonder why they are not using the Zuma, Mojave, Monterey, etc. adjectives on the options page?! The web site designers found them too tacky?! :smile:

the "hide signature model" buttons also disappeared ..

Hmm, I just reloaded the Pricing & Options page, and Decor Accents for the Performance model still shows only Carbon Fiber. Am I missing something?

I was happy there was more interior options for the performance S. I'm not totally sold on the performance version and I have reservations about the looks of carbon fiber on the interior. Carbon fiber interior just doesn't seem classy. Hopefully Tesla will give us more options as they finalize everything in the next few months.

 

[AnOutsider]

True, but if you're going for a classy cruiser (or tourer), you may not need the performance package in the first place. I agree though, i get theyre trying to give the P's a distinct look, but something so simple as the inserts should be interchangeable.

 

[Mycroft]

I really doubt the CF will be an option for the Sport. The "stealth" campaigners lost and Elon won. He wants the Sport to say "performance" before and after getting into it just like the AMG and M-series do. I think there will be a rear spoiler, probably CF.

Which is silly since Signatures are sold out.

 

[Mycroft]

There will be more Sigs sold as people drop down to P or out altogether. The sig page won't go away until all of them have been built.

I think they just wanted to simplify the page and make it more consistent.

I worry that CF is going to look dated in a few years. It reminds me of a series of architectural fads, such as the Brutalists with their exposed concrete walls, like the Boston City Hall, and the Structural Expressionism with their exposed systems, like the Pomidou Centre. Neither wear well, in my opinion.

 

[Mycroft]

Go ahead and worry about that Robert. That way I don't have to. :biggrin:

 

[AnOutsider]

i think both of those buildings look nice myself. In any case, if there were something else i liked, like brushed aluminum, id care more, but the other interior options arent to my taste so im glad to have the cf.

now, how a huge expanse of it will look on that dash is another matter, but that's the case for all the options. Its the dash thats the problem. Your "trim" shouldnt be a huge piece if the puzzle as it is in the s.

You just alienated about half the Roadster owners.....

Now you're talking. We need a brushed aluminum option for the Performance model. I'd much rather have that than the CF.

 

[ckessel]

What exactly is the big deal with CF accents? From what I understand, CF is great from an engineering perspective. Light, strong, but expensive. From a style perspective, if you like it, great, but I don't understand why the sport model would require it as the interior option.

 

[Beavis]

I just hope that there isn't so much CF that the car looks like it belongs in the next Fast & Furious sequel.
