Premium Rear Console

[matbl]

It's available in grey, tan and black leather as expected. But it's also available in white leather? Why? There is no white leather trim?

 

[JakeP]

There was a white leather option on Signature and Founders vehicles.

Deleted. JakeP answered right before me.

I see that there is also a vegan option (synthetic black leather) for Leilani and other concerned global citizens!

That's there to match the textile seats that have synthetic black leather inserts on the seats.

This is what I received from Tesla in the UK:
"Unfortunately this item cannot be retro fitted and can only be added at point of order for new vehicles. Currently not a upgrade option on UK cars." /...

Can this possibly be accurate?

What separes a UK back seat from one in the US

Probably an employee unaware of this and thinking they're talking about the executive seats.

I just ordered one with shipment to Norway, so it is available in Europe as well. Ordered online from Tesla Gear Shop.

 

[JakeP]

I'm pretty sure the UK back seats are on the opposite side of the road.

Gonna hold off on being an early adopter on this one til I hear some reviews from you guys

Hoping its a nice design and doesn't wiggle around, but based on the way it anchors I have some concern about it wiggling left/right.

 

[JohnQ]

Damn you, morbot. I was set to order until your comment kickstarted the rational part of my brain. I've lived without it for two years, I can wait a few weeks for comments.

 

[morbot]

Sorry, my rational part of my brain is a wet blanket I know...
But he's also taken over control of my decision making for awhile since it just came time to pay up on my stealth wrap & window tint :biggrin:

I am interested, but find it shockingly expensive. IMHO, I think $400 would have been expensive. I still want it. I will sleep on it for a few nights.

$700 drink holder and part-time storage. Hard to justify.

Think of it this way. It's about $5000 cheaper than the executive rear seat option. And there is nothing about Model S ownership that makes sense financially. It's an emotional and satisfaction decision.

 

[Firewired]

Wow talk about seemingly unprecedented rapidity. Ordered late last night (Black Nappa / Obeche matte), received shipping notice with tracking number a little while ago.

Why the heck can't the center console be ready and shipped this fast???

Outsourced to different companies?

Same rationale here. Was starting to get jealous of the new executive seats, but now with this option I have something OEM, functional, and removable. Mine arrives tomorrow. Will take pictures. I have a feeling it'll look and feel great with the NextGen seats on my P85D.

That's what I've been thinking. Tesla cannot be happy with the company that did the front consoles.

Then again, maybe these were supposed to be ready 2 years ago, but nothing went up in the store until they were really ready. There were some picture back then...

Wow. How are you getting yours so soon? I ordered the first day they were available, and have not even got the shipping confirmation yet. Maybe Tan/Obeche Matte is slower than Black/Carbon Fiber?
