Yes, you could assume that, but we really don't know what the production colors are (only what they painted the RCs). It may turn out that the RC colors are the available colors, but until they tell us . . . And interiors — hopefully black is not the only choice.Wouldn't one assume that SN001 will be one of the production colors?
I cannot explain it at all. And it drives me nuts. For the last decade almost all cars are black, white, grey or silver. It's like the automotive world went monochrome. There is some evidence of this starting to change, but it's slow.
Tesla, should be offering a pallet like what Austin Martin offers! On the Rapid S, which looks like a ICE version of the S, they offer 29 body colors, 6 wheel caliper colors and dozens of colors for every little interior detail!

I really hope we start to get something other than black, white, varying mixes of black and white, one red and one blue.

It might have something to do with the colors dealers think their customers want, or are willing to accept. Since their business model is selling cars on the lot, not to order, buyers are subject to what sales people have sitting around (unless they're willing to order and wait for what they might prefer). Lots of pressure to sell what's out there instead.It's crazy. When I've traveled outside the US, I've always been happily surprised how many buildings and cars were something with real color (not 10 gradations of gray). There are a few theories; metallic paint, "boldness", risk aversion, etc. Most boil down to, from what I can tell, "safety". How many customers, what's the resale value, does it draw attention, etc.
A Brief History Of Car Colors — And Why Are We So Boring Now?
Why Are Our Cars Painted Such Boring Colors?

Is this safety just in car colors or a societal shift? Who knows. For what it's worth, my car is red and I love red.
I think many people (manufacturers, dealers, owners) may be afraid of ending up with the automotive equivalent of avocado or burnt sienna refrigerators. What may be a trendy color now may seem dated a few years down the line, especially if you keep your cars for a long time. Blah colors may be more timeless because they're never "in style".
Steve Jurvetson got Model S Founders VIN 1. Elon got the Model X Founders VIN 1. A forum member here received Signature VIN 1 for the Model X. I'm pretty sure they'll give it out.Do we really know that VIN1 will go to a customer? If QA reveals minor problems with VIN1 they might just decide not to give it out.
Or maybe they give the VIN1 # to another car? Of course we'll likely never know..
