Interior Options?

[Chrisrok64]

I've narrowed my paint color options to black or midnight silver, what will be the interior color options?

 

[Chrisrok64]

Never mind, found my answer in a previous post:

The beginning configuration is a Long Range Battery with rear-wheel drive and premium upgrades, starting at $49,000. These vehicles come with three options for customization: wheel size, exterior color and Autopilot features.

Which future options will be made available to order, and when?
We are planning to introduce the following options in the coming months:

Fall 2017: White interior option, standard configuration (non-Premium Upgrades)
November 2017: Standard Battery, $35,000 car
Spring 2018: Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive

Additional options will become available over time.

I've been wondering about this as well, hoping for tan first, or white as a back-up, with a white exterior. Until tan or white launches, I'm on the side despite my delivery timing 3-month window starting in February. Black interior is a deal-breaker.

Unfortunately, as Tesla pushes out on their delivery schedule, I am having trouble believing that we will see the white interior option available this Fall. It is still in the FAQ, but I suspect that it will be revised

How would reflection be with a white interior? is it just the seats or even the dash?

The newest one hour video did touch upon briefly that black is good because there is less issues with reflections.

Yes to the seats; it’s not the instrument panel, so comfortable visibility out should not be a problem.

However, lack of reflection is exactly the problem for the seats! Black absorbs, and gets very hot. When we have triple digit temperatures outdoors, heat absorption is the last thing I want!

Can’t quite understand why timing should slip along with the vehicle assembly program. The material supplier should have been working to their own launch ramp timing. Once the seats are trimmed, neither the plant nor the car knows nor cares what color the seat is...they all install the same and they will have already facilitized for plant space (four hours is typical) for a bit more inventory as just-in-time/in-sequence seat sets are pushed to the line. Same applies to door trim panels. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Given that they have in-sourced seat production, one should expect that any Tesla delays could include any component they are producing themselves.

Producing a seat in one color is one thing. Producing a seat in multiple colors/materials is another.

It's not clear what the white (or presumed cream if/when available) will have for the dash. It is believed that the wood part that is on the dash now, will be white with the white seats. The upper part of the dash would remain black so as to not have distracting reflections on the windshield.

Here is the the one that was spotted a couple months ago.
