Everyone has different tastes but if there is one practical advantage to getting the matte wood, it would be that it's MUCH easier to maintain than anything glossy. I go over all the surfaces in the car with a Swiffer duster and voila, job done. Had a loaner with beige interior and carbon fiber last week and personally did not like it as much. I also ordered the matte wood almost sight unseen but my OA was amazing and drove a car out on his day off that had it just so I could see it in person so don't be afraid to ask because Tesla customer service is amazing.
