If it's any help, I test drove a grey Model S at the Garden State Plaza store in Northern NJ 2 weeks ago...maybe that's within your range to go take a look?

It certainly is. I'll see if the gray car will be there this weekend. Thanks.

Definitely call around to all of your nearby stores. They are moving these cars around between stores at a fairly rapid (or at least unpredictable) pace.
Changed my res p5810 from blue 60 kwh to red at cost of delivery est from jan/feb to mar/apr. but the 60 kw was probably making it march anyway I am told. Wow the delay hurts but I love the red!

Sorry, this photo was taken at the Miami Beach opening celebration. They had a little problem and they couldn't get an occupancy permit in time for the celebration so we weren't permited inside the store to take closeups.

Steve,
I personally think that you are going to be very happy with your decision despite the delay. That is a color that makes a statement and most larger sized cars might not be up to the task, but the Model S can handle that added attention.

My configuration specialist has verified that the grey car will be at the Garden State Plaze store this weekend, so I will drop by and snap some pix. Will I still need a grey card with the grey car?:biggrin:

A few days ago I called Tesla to inquire how much delivery would be delayed if I changed from blue to the new red, which I've been tempted to do. I also asked the same question at the Tesla store in DC when I was there last weekend. Even though I said that I was ok with delivery delays, both times the Tesla reps urged me to stay with the blue. I found that curious to say the least. Any idea why that might be the case? Might it just be the personal preferences of the people I spoke to?
I was told it would increase delivery time from March until approximately May also I previously had blue and switched to the multi coat red. I would say personal preference is a possibility.

I had a similar situation where I called a store guy to ask his opinion on whether I should switch from green to silver, just for ease of maintenance with how silver never looks as dirty. He definitely encouraged me to stick with green...but I know for a fact that green is his personal favorite Tesla color, as is mine!

I drove this grey beauty at the Topanga Tesla store today (my first test drive, woohoo!).
Sorry my picture sucks. I really found it to be stunning. Very little metallic flake (not a gunmetal grey).
I had no interest in the grey before today.
Almost made me switch from the blue.

I've now made an formal request to change my color to red, leaving all else the same. The rep I spoke to said that all production now is focused on 85KWH air suspension orders and since mine is already in the queue, it may not be possible to change. Will hear back this afternoon. Fingers crossed.
good luck, they are cranking them out right now. I think they should be pretty close to the 100 /day mark - they are piling up faster than they can get them out it seems
that would be helpful. I hear the final version of the new red is darker than the version you see in the list of photos here, essentially closer to signature red.
Two shots of a grey card with 2013 Red color board that had just come in to the White Plains store. First is with a Signature red board (yes, it looked that brown in person) and second is just with grey card to its right. These were taken under skylights in the atrium of the mall when there was a heavy overcast sky. In person the 2013 red was not quite as bright as it appears in the 2nd shot on my monitor, but I suspect it will be at least that bright in full sun.
I have reduced the resolution to 1/8 of original.
