Hello,
I'm just about to finalize my order for the new Model S P85+. I've spent the last 3 days going back and forth between the black/black/cf/Silver and the red/black/cf/grey. Both are beautiful cars, in their own way. The black is sleek, professional and stylish whilst the red is more sexy, stands out and hopefully not as common around these parts (Norway) than the more anonymous black.
I just can't make up my mind and I'm hoping you guys can share your 2 cents regarding these to color combinations. I'd especially love some feedback from owners of these combinations (black/black/CF/silver and red/black/CF/grey).
Both will be equipped with the pano roof, CF-spoiler, Performance+, and all the other bells and whistles (expet for the child seats).
Here are some questions I'd love to have had answered:
1. Is it true that it's easier to keep the red one clean than the average black car?
2. For those of you who have red cars, how long have you had the red one? Do you feel at all as if you are starting to get tired of the bright red color?
3. I have yet to find any pictures of the red on during night. Anyone got any to share?
4. For those of you with grey wheels, do you regret getting the grey wheels instead of the silver ones?
5. Do you think that toning down the chrome parts on a Model S with grey wheels is a must?
6. It hasn't been easy finding video that show the grey wheels in motion. What I really like with the silver ones is that they come off as huge on the car since they are of a lighter color than the car itself. I'm afraid that the grey ones would somehow feel/look slightly smaller, especially from a distance where one might not be able to distinguish the rim from the rubber. Also the silver ones omit a cool turbine effect when driving in slower speeds. Thes effect is not as visible on the grey ones.
7. Is it true that the grey wheels dont show dirt as much as the silver ones?
8. I live in a country where we dont get a lot of summer of sun for that matter (Norway). We get mostly rain and of course snow in wintertime. Lot of cloudy days etc. Would you recommend the red color in a country with not that many sunny days?
9. Have you seen many cars on the road with your color combination?
10. Is there absolutely anything you regret with this color combo? Any disadvantages that you hadn't thought of before getting this combo?
Lastly, I know that I should make up my own mind, but I'd love for you guys to post your personal preference if you'd have to chose of of these two color combinations
As you may understand I'm really curious about the red color combo, but I'm just too nervous that I might make a huge mistake and regret it only a short time after recieving the car. The black/black is a much safer bet, one which I will definately be happy with, but even though it's nice looking as hell it doesn't stand out like the red one does and it doesn't have the same sporty look either, plus all of my previous cars (except the Roadster) have been black.
I really hope that as many as possible can share their views on this subject, preferably today since I have to finalize my order to get the promised rebates and also to keep my sequence number.
