Wow. That is just ridiculous.

How hard can it be to replace the hinged cover, with a version with wood on it?

It's actually kinda disturbing that they can't figure this out given the technical know-how and innovative skill that this company has demonstrated in other areas. Would be nice if they'd give us just a little clue as to why this appears to be so difficult for them instead of leaving us to wonder how in the world they can't figure out something that appears to be so dang simple.

I received an email on 2/18 saying the additional decor trims will be available in the spring.

I suspect what is shown on the web site may be for fulfilling new orders, after everyone on the waiting list.

That is a possibility. Similar to the CHAdeMO adapter, which you can't even order online while the wait list is being fulfilled.

Hopefully that is true.

Oh dear, maybe they need to recruit some more Apple employees. LOL

Push downwards a little as you slide it open.

Doesn't help at all. I have to open the phone dock cover halfways and push really really hard directly in the sliding direction for the sliding cover to open at all...

You're definitely sure you're pressing downward first before you push in the sliding direction? It's very difficult to open if you don't push it downward first.

I've been on the list for Obeche Matte since I first ordered my car some 5 months ago. I'm using a cheap Walmart substitute right now but really hope "Spring" means March or April

If spring winds up being any day that falls within the season of Spring in the year 2015 I will be satisfied.

If spring winds up being any day that falls withing Spring in the year 2015 I will be satisfied.

I just exchanged emails with online ordering this week and they indicated a fall 2015 delivery.

And as fall approaches they'll probably be talking about Spring of 2016. They can keep this going indefinitely.

Did you already have a reservation?

I also just exchanged emails and they said Spring (2015)

When I asked about 4 weeks ago I was told summer time!

Here is their exact response to me:

Thank you for contacting Tesla Motors. We are currently estimating the console with your décor will be available in the spring. Then, we will begin working our way down the waitlist to contact customers to place orders. Based upon your position on the waitlist, you should receive the link to purchase the console within the first couple of weeks after they are released.

The latest delays surrounding the console affect the rotating panel that has the décor. The console itself had to go through strict testing. Through those tests, we found that the panels with décor options other than Piano Black required additional development, and thus, additional testing. We have made progress with the remaining consoles, though we are still estimating they will be released in the spring.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience.

I'm guessing summer is new orders.

After 11 months of waiting, vague dates, etc I pulled the trigger and got the Evannex CCI came within 5 days of ordering. No regrets except for waiting so long for something that Tesla couldn't deliver.

I just sent in my request to be put on the list for a matte obeche unit. They're now reporting that I can expect it in the fall!

Who the heck is making these things? Are they being hand assembled in somebody's basement by their kids after school?

 

[eco5280]

I'd own the CCI if it offered half the storage space as the OEM console I'd own it.

I'd also own the CCI if it looked like it had been designed by someone other than a starving intern.
