Perhaps drive the car once you get it for sometime and then see if you need it. I was gung-ho about getting the Tesla console as well, but now I find that I like the extra openness and space over storage space.

This debate has been going on for some time here. Those that want the center console believe as you do. Those that like the open area don't want to pay for something they don't need.
Here's another floor (pardon the pun). If you want to purchase the Yacht Floor on a new Model S the Design Studio says its $500. (Interestingly the Tesla store no longer lists the price.)
So if Tesla is actually charging new customers $500 just for the Yacht Floor today, its difficult to conceive of a situation where the entire console wouldn't cost at least two or three times this amount.

Tesla Model S Premium Center Console Update
Dear Tesla Model S Owner,
You are receiving this note because you are on the Tesla Model S Premium Center Console wait list.
We understand that the wait has been long and frustrating for many of you. We appreciate your patience and would like to offer the console to you at a special discounted aftermarket wait list price. The pricing is as follows:
Piano Black: $600
Obeche Matte: $650
Obeche Gloss: $650
Lacewood: $650
Carbon Fiber: $800
Wait list members will also be offered the iPhone 5/S lightning cable dock kit or the micro USB dock kit at no additional charge. There will not be a dock kit available for phones that use other charging cables (iPhone 4, etc.).
We are excited to announce that we have the first console samples installed in our Model S and we are going forward with production. The production rate will take some time to ramp up and the first few batches of consoles will be small. There are over 1100 people on the wait list. In the next couple of weeks we will start sending out emails to those at the top of the wait list with links to place orders for the console, and we will begin delivering the first batch of consoles shortly after that.
We do not have the exact delivery timing for each wait list entry so please bear with us as we work our way down the wait list and send out ordering information as more consoles become available. Generally speaking, those that were placed on the wait list after August are unlikely to receive a console before the end of the year. When production has ramped up we expect to have consoles available to order for everyone on the wait list by January and February of next year.
All available information regarding pricing, options and delivery timing is contained in this email. It is not necessary to reply to this email as we have all the information from you that we need and we do have not more details available at this time.
Thank you again for your patience and have a happy holidays.

The email doesn't say whether we will be able to see it in person before finalizing an order.
edit: you beat me to it.

Some of you may not be aware, but you haven't bought anything if you haven't paid anything. I "ordered" a console months ago. I sort of knew it would be expensive, and am pleased with the published price, but I never ever thought that somehow by waiting it would give me an advantage, and if you haven't paid, *you can always back out*.
If you are displeased, consider it education.
By the way, I also got on the waiting list for my Model S as early as possible. I picked up my car 3 1/2 years later, number 64 off the line. After 30,000 miles, I have never been sorry.
Formed the Tesla store web page for the console:
"Sign up for wait list and product updates by emailing: [email protected]."
I'm glad I got on the wait list a while ago. I was assuming the wait list people would get them first, but the discount is a nice unexpected bonus.
It looks like January at the earliest though, since I did not get on the list until September.
