Grey Next Gen Seats - Available January 2017 ?!

[Petra]

Wow, that's crazy!

That said, I'd think it was worth the wait... but I might be a little biased, since I really love my grey interior.

My delivery got pushed from late November - December (what I wanted) to late December - January 2017.

Ditto.

 

[Pantoot]

I picked up my car with grey interior yesterday.
Hopefully it is a supply problem and not a quality problem...
So far I love them.

If you wanted to speculate wildly (and who wouldn't) if Tesla was transitioning to Model X seats the grey might be the most difficult transition since the X does not currently offer that color.

Ordered MS July 15 with Grey NGEN seats. Still shows delivery late Aug, or Sept.

My Model S was slated for delivery in late October / early November, and I also noticed my delivery status changed to late December / January. I am betting they have enough inventory to get through the next month or two, but then the supply for the gray next generation seats is gone.

Tesla can't afford any shortage that could delay deliveries or compromise sales until January, so I bet we will be offered a change to a different color for no extra fee or we will be hearing about new seat options in the near future!

C'mon Tesla -- give us ultra white ventilated seats!!

I also ordered the grey seats (confirmed on 7/9/2016) and mine just went into production. Estimated delivery is week of August 8th.

I love the grey next gen seats. My car is 13 months old and they still look new.

If I were a betting man, this would seem to suggest that their current inventory gets them to the end of the year after which they transition to something else. Possibly the same style next gen seats as the X.

Took delivery of my MS90D with Next Gen grey seats two weeks ago. My DS told me at delivery that there was huge demand on that color and they were expecting future orders to have a delay, along with the matte obeche wood, since many people were going with that combination. I have to tell you, the grey seats look great - haven't had any staining or marking issues like some have described.

That's crap... Just made my mind up to order an Obsidian Black S60D with black headliner and grey seats..
It's a company car and can't put in the order until Sept 1, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens with the status over the current month

 

[mediocreguy]

Ugh... I just ordered a Midnight Silver S60 - not confirmed yet. I was hoping for September delivery, but it looks like it's going to be January - I will wait - I don't like the tan or black. If this is a favorite, a lot of 3Q2016 and 4Q2016 deliveries are going to be delayed or cancelled - bad timing for increasing delivery expectations. I realize unforeseen complications can arise, but Tesla will certainly need to do better supply chain management if they want to deliver 500,000 vehicles / year.

Sudden increase in demand after people saw the very helpful replies to my thread, no doubt . I thought grey + obeche was a super rare combo, but maybe not anymore...

The grey seats are great!

 

[Joostdz]

@ScottnAZ Please keep us posted on the delivery expectations from Tesla. I am ordering S60D with grey seats on Sept 1, so I am curious to learn how much the potential delay will be.

 

[Moneesh]

I have the grey seats, got the car three weeks ago, and love them. If you can wait until they're available and aren't in a rush, I would recommend it.

That being said, if the white seats from the Model X ever become available for the S, I would get those. I've seen them in person and they really pop, especially with a darker exterior pain color.

 

[theaxe]

Not sure if this is useful but my order (with grey seats) was confirmed July 20th and entered production last week without any apparent delays.

 

[Ken395]

My order for a 90D with the Grey seats was confirmed August 1 and showed an August / Early September expected delivery. The "Delivery Experience Specialist" stated that it would finish production the last day of August. So far there's no mention of being delayed for availability of parts.
