'Design Studio' on Tesla website needs improvement

Agreed that their website is pretty basic for a car that has an average selling price of $100,000 and they make 25% profit. They have a lot of resources to improve the colour representations on their site. They should start with a gallery of literally hundreds of pictures of Tesla Model S cars in different lighting conditions and circumstances, since you get the average of all those in your mind after looking at them. Each photo can be put into a database with its options checked or unchecked, so you can filter it and see specific colours, options, or combinations.

For example, right now they don't give you a way to see interior and exterior colours together. I'd like to see a gallery of different coloured cars with their windows down, doors open or whatever, so you could see the different combinations.

They could easily take these pictures at the factory and soon have every combination.
 
As for great 3D car configurators, take this one. I think you hardly get a better one anwhere right now, expecially for the interior (3 positions, and ever better than "just 360 degrees").
Some insiders might even recognize the vehicle ;-)

Sorry, it's in German, but I think the icons are self-explanatory. If not, I am sure there is also an English version. Ah yes, here:

Nice, yup, that's it. It needs quite a bit of Tesla refinement :) but that's exactly the idea. I know Tesla is focusing resources on the most important things but it doesn't seem like this should cost too much, and being essentially the storefront of their online business, I consider it particularly important!
