Yup, it will be even moreso after I mount that giant fin on the roof! It will move back and forth with the pano

Didn't mention that I have two other cars - a Starlight Silver Acura MDX (2001 1st model year, 262,000 miles, still really pretty), and an average silver Forester. Yes, time for something different.

Three personal favorites:
silver with black interior (classic, but some may find boring and all chrome accents fade into the car)
blue with tan interior (sharp, the blue outlines the car nicely and all the chrome accents pop. Keep in mind tan interiors in Minnesota are difficult to keep clean and show everything, if that bothers you)
black with black or tan interior (also classic, but it outlines the car nicely and all the chrome accents pop. Keep in mind tan interiors in Minnesota are difficult to keep clean and show everything, if that bothers you.)
Not a huge fan of dolphin gray, as it has a gray blue green hue. Again, just my personal opinion.
I almost went with gray but ended up with silver. Either is beautiful. Silver is easier to keep clean looking but I really liked the gray.
An update on this - got this email from Tesla:
"It is too late to make changes to this Model S. Please inform the customer that we cannot change the paint to Grey Metallic."
Oddly, by profile still says "sourcing parts", but I guess you can't cut it too close. But decided, yes, I can live with a silver Tesla

You'll love your silver the second you see it, and never look back. With a black interior, silver is the better choice anyway (in my humble opinion).

dsm363 is correct, after you get it you will be so jazzed with everything else you won't think about "what if." My wife says she knows where to find me now, in the garage playing with my car.

Yes, I am biased. But I love my silver and I think you'll be happy with it too. Not only does it look great, it's also much easier to maintain.

As previously stated all of the colors are great but there is a reason Tesla uses silver in so many ads. It is the best one!
Of course the best is not available to everyone and you'll need to pass certain qualifiers to actually be allowed ownership. While many over rely on their Mensa scores, I find the swimsuit completion results to be a much clearer indicator.

These are great posts, thanks!
I actually have a couple silver cars, one which is rather famous around these parts – Ghost X, which is a 2000 (1[SUP]st[/SUP] model year) MDX, also known as the Death Star. And when I ordered the Tesla, silver was a natural choice, as I have a mile of dirt road to deal with, and silver always looks clean.
But I did get in a gray mindset, as silver with the black pano is, well, in no sense subtle, and I’m of a certain age where I don’t really need to shout out anymore. But while I do think gray has this pretty cool and understated look, I have no objection to showing the world “hey, this is an awesome car, you should think of getting off gas and trying one of these!”
