Thanks TEG! I don't live anywhere close to a Tesla store but am in Seattle this weekend so was able to see a few more colors in person except the green so that helps. Have been working on making this decision for a few years so looking forward to finally just ordering something.

dsm, I was sold on the Fusion Red with the silver wheels (Ferrari classy look) until I was seduced at the test drive by the (bad boy look) Arctic White / Ext carbon & black wheels...
Still, as TEG says, it's all personal preference...

@dsm363: If you can get to the Eastside, specifically Redmond Town Center, in the parking lot right by the Claim Jumper restaurant, between 8am and noon, you'll be able to talk to a few Tesla Roadster owners, including me.
Thanks. It's tough ordering a car without seeing it in person and I never thought I'd order a green (color) car before but I'm leaning that way. Think it looks sweet with the CF and black wheels. Will hopefully order it in the next month or two.
FWIW, I was originally thinking of the Radiant Red... but at the last minute flipped to Fusion Red. I'm very happy with that decision; on delivery day I saw it side-by-side with the (former) Toronto demo store car, and I strongly preferred the Fusion. I can never tell what something is going to look like from a small color chip.
Arctic White sounds pretty cool, though.
It was VFX I was referring to. The picture in his avatar is in the "Custom Paint Options"; 5th row and the right edge.
My personal favorite (at least in pictures) is Thunder Gray with Silver Wheels. I actually like the look better than Thunder Gray with Black Wheels.

Actually I remember taking multiple of these photos that showed up there.
Here are a few:

Anyone here own a Fusion Red with CF exterior and black wheels? They don't have it here http://picasaweb.google.com/TeslaHQ
I'm having a tough time deciding on a color. Was set on Radiant Red then saw it in person next to Fusion Red and think I prefer Fusion red but they both look great. I then was leaning towards Lighting green but haven't seen it in person as I stated previously so am rethinking it although I agree it looks good. The white looks sweet as well with the CF but had always thought of white for a sedan over a sports car. Tough decision but not a bad one to have I guess. Hopefully I can make up my mind soon. Have been thinking about this car for about 4 years. Thanks.

Thanks for posting the picture, TEG.
I must have missed the picture of the Thunder Grey Roadster with Grey wheels. Now I'm engaged in a personal debate between which one I like better, TG with Grey wheels or TG with Silver wheels.
I think I like the spoke design of the Grey wheels even better than the 2.5 wheels. I wonder how a Thunder Grey Roadster would look with the Grey wheels in Silver, maybe it's time to reinstall Photoshop. :wink:

Keep in mind that those particular gray wheels were a limited run and called by some as a "production mistake" with later wheels having a different finish.
Now they look like this:
I really like those "erroneous" wheels. When I went to the Menlo Park store for my test drive, I saw one roadster being readied for delivery that had them.
When I ordered mine, I requested those "erroneous" wheels. The sales guy explained that they were a "mistake". I asked him if I could have those "rejects" installed on my roadster to which he replied that he would see what he could do. My car was delivered with "correct" wheels...
Anyone in the SF Bay Area with those "erroneous" wheels wiling to swap? (wheels, no roadsters ;-))
