So now it's official, there is an "Integrated Center Console" available on the official Tesla Accessories website.
This unit is a complete, one piece center console that goes from under the touch screen, back to the rear seat vents; and it has two rear cupholders.
It's unknown how many refreshed Model S's made it into the wild with this exact console minus the rear cup holders, and it's still unknown if this is the same unit that will be included going foreword (I think it is).
Here are the groups of people that should care about this:
If you have a pre March refresh Model S and you have never purchased the discontinued "Premium Center Console", then this is now your only option for center area storage from Tesla.
If you have had any aftermarket center console installed Tesla or otherwise, you can still purchase this one piece unit if you (a) want rear cup holders or (b) don't like your current solution.
If you have a premium console already and you want the new one, there are many on here that would buy yours; 600 is way less than 1200. And my understanding is that Tesla will still do the swap and may even do the shipping in some cases.
If you decide to get this Integrated Console, you will be left with your armrest tower but sans facia piece (piano black, carbon fiber, etc) and both armrests. These pieces are transplanted too the new console. However, you have every right to keep the old pieces for whatever reason, including the ability to revert back later and resell.
Hope that helps anyone looking to upgrade as well as encourage people to make trades so supply can meet demand.
