Well - if it had been available when I found my Jet Black roadster, ipdamages CPO Very Orange w/ exterior CF would be in my garage instead of the Jet Black
Black isn't my first choice, but its definitely among the acceptable colors. The most surprising thing to me about the Jet Black - I never realized black could provide a mirror surface. When it's clean (which it needs frequently - but you already knew that about black), if the sun is at the wrong angle, then even sunglasses aren't enough to look at it. Literally gleams, and could even use it as a mirror. I never thought that would work with black
I haven't seen enough Roadsters to provide a comparison.
If you look through this Roadster forum for the thread on detailing / washing / cleaning one's Roadster, early in the thread (first page), there is a link from a detailer showing the work they did to a Jet Black roadster, and some finishing shots. Turns out that they were working on my Jet Black Roadster a few years before it arrived in my garage. The gleam and 'black mirror' effect shows up clearly there.
Here we go:

Picture of #969 at ~500 miles directly at that link, along with a link to the blog post by the detailer with lots more pics. I'm still learning how to make it look that nice (I have lots to learn). Several of the photos in the detailer's blog literally shows the mirror finish (they took a picture of themselves in the 'mirror').
Yeah - Jet Black can be unreal.
EDIT: I found a SECOND Jet Black 2.5 Sport at the Newport Beach Tesla Store this week as I was driving through San Diego as I make my way up and down the coast. #967 is also a Jet Black Sport 2.5, and is either their loaner car or a CPO that they are stocking at that store. First time I saw it, I thought "hey - that's my car. Except I'm sitting in my car"
