Pictures of my bad ass black Tesla model S!

Did you have the car on autopilot when you drove in the middle of that road?

I had auto pilot activated on the drone

Nice shots. What drone/camera?

I kind of wish I hadn't seen this. I think if I had seen this yesterday I would have changed my s60 order to black from midnight silver. The black here is just about perfect. My order was confirmed yesterday.

Wow!! That is a sweet looking color with those rims! Bravo!

I appreciate that. I figure you used a drone for the video? Looks kickass! I preordered my wife the M3, didn't know what color she wanted to get it in until I showed her your pictures and video. Black!

I love my black!

If I were you I would pay the $500 and switch it to the black. Its hands down worth it, the best looking color when kept up!

Jason,
Car looks great!!! Mine looks real close to yours. Even the rims are the same except I have them powder coated "wet gloss black". I live in Fresno but will be in San Diego with it this weekend for a wedding and all star game. Congrats.

 

[glusc2002]

Yes it is in OC, San Pedro to be specific!

How much was the coat? You got this and opted out of the protective film, can you let us know your reasoning, also is yours on air suspension and riding lower or is that stock height? thanks,

Wait! What? Coated black?? PLEASE SHOW US! I would do that in a heart beat! How much did you pay to have that done?

Yes air suspension, lowered setting for the photos. I am leasing the car cause in 3 years I will want the newest car out that Tesla has. So I paid 1200 for the coating instead of the clear bra that would have been 5k to 6k.

when i went to the SC in costa mesa, they had the MX wheels on display in black, however those are 22" and was told it wouldnt fit on the MS. I really wanted the black option too. Coat would definitely be an option for me too

I'm in the same situation regarding the lease and reason for leasing. Why did you choose that coat brand over others or do you see similar other brands to be equal in quality and durability? Does the coat last all 3 years and does it prevent swirls and make the car easier to clean?

Yes so I had to do all my research and found the CQuartz Finest is the best for a black car and lasts about 3 years. The less washing the less swirls. So in return the car is much easier to wash and dry. Just add water and lightly clean with the softest material you can find then rinse. The water will run off the car like magic. Then I dab a towel to get the extra water that is still on the car. So in return yes it'll prevent swirls but if you wash it rough then no it won't prevent swirls. I hope that all makes sense

Finally got back from San Diego. Here are a couple of pics of my black MS. Also a pic of my "wet gloss black" powder coated rims

 

[Jason Shelton]

I added even more to my car. I had the brake calipers painted red, looks amazing to say the least!!

Rims scratched already?!? Sad
