Hi All,
I may finally be getting a Tesla next year after a very long wait. I have questions about customizations because on the website when you order a new Tesla there are only options for very basic stuff like choosing a paint color, interior color and wheel size.
I see many cars on the street that have customized every little detail such as the silver/black trim around the windows, logo color, the bar below the logo on the model X, color of door nobs, etc. How can I customize these things when I order it and also where do I see what options are available for all these small things to customize? I'm assuming these customizations are done by Tesla itself and not by owners after market? Is there a chance to customize this stuff before they build it since when you place the order on the site there is no option for any of this stuff?
For example, these are some of the things I would probably want to do to my car:
1) Black Tesla (T) emblem logo
2) No logo for the words "Tesla" on the back, I don't like that
3) No "Model X" logo on the back
4) The bar below the logo, some are stainless steel and some are black
5) Black door knob handles & the border of the windows, some are stainless steel and some are black rubber. I kind of like the older stainless steel border around the window it feels more luxurious than the black cheap rubber border... What do you guys feel about this? Also the door knob I kind of feel the stainless steel looks better too, seems like all the new models are now black so maybe this is not an option to get stainless steel?
6) I also don't like the rubber piece under the trunk, I feel like it looks very cheap and for such an expensive car I'd want actual aluminium (same as the trunk and rest of car material) rather than a rubber piece. Is this even an option as I don't think I have ever seen that before on a Tesla?
7) No license plate on the front of the car, how do you tell Tesla you don't want this, or do they not put it on the front by default?
8) Colored brake pads, I want colored ones instead of the standard one. I see most cars that have colored brake pads are red which I like red but I have also seen a few yellow. How do you specify this and besides red and yellow, what other color options are there?
I have not been inside any of these cars I see on the street so I'm not sure what kind of customizations are available for the interior of the car but if there are any, I'd like to hear what they are so I can start thinking about them too =)
Thanks everyone for your help, I would really appreciate any information and guidance on these exterior customizations.
