here are some color shots with a 18% grey card

sorry no blue : ( it was hiding at a supercharger when I went to get color shots

I think I'm going for the dark grey. Blue was super pretty though and green and brown look really nice in the sun. Actually,I think all of the colors look really nice and wouldn't be opposed to any of them (1 for every day of the week please! :wink

Very smart to bring the grey card. Thanks.

Did you get a shot with the Sig Red as well?

 

[bint2k]

omg that dark grey is the shiiiiiitzzz i just pissed myself

 

[goyogi]

omg that dark grey is amazing

Yes, now that I see it on the car the dark grey is my new favorite besides sig-red. Especially with the performance trim it's probably the most sporty looking.

 

[bint2k]

hard choice between black and dolphin grey now....

 

[Zextraterrestrial]

yep, dark grey w/ dark rims ..mmm
change pants
oh I forgot to even put any on today WTF

Thanks for posting the colors with the reference card.

I do like the grey, but my current car is a very similar grey...think I will go blue.

Anyone have an opinion on the best leather match with the blue?

Sunset Red is the best, IMHO. As soon as that becomes available in the design studio, I'll switch to that for my perfect Tesla.

What would be the perfect interior match, though? Black or tan?

For the sunset red, the white interior. You'd need to get a sig reservation and pony up $12k for it. (Or buy the interior aftermarket.)

Edit: You might want to go the aftermarket anyway, because you'd likely want white (not cream) and maybe with some piping.

Signature Red is the limited color. The Sunset (read bright) Red will be available in 2013 I think.

I have about 5 pictures of the white model S that was on display at the Fremont factory adjacent to the area selling Tesla apparel and etc.

Well done on bringing the gray card! What a great help.

You may want to think twice about that :biggrin:

Color is a confounding variable here.

People with the personality to have a red car probably like to show it off...hence more droppings. Green is a hideous color for a car, so I'd want to hide it in a garage as well!

That reminded me; another tidbit from Fremont: the $12k custom color deal, atleast according to one of the Tesla reps there, is now closed! Five or so early SSLs were allowed to add that to their contract but, no more apparently. The prospect of pulling the car off the assembly line and do a custom paint job (possibly offsite according to this rep) has been deemed to be too onerous since.

Well, that makes my hand-wringing over the brown a tad easier then

Indeed! You cannot go wrong with Sig Red though; beats the hell out of any other color. And, it should be unique enough in your neck of the woods. In the Bay Area OTOH, Sig Red's going to be a dime a dozen

Need more photos of cars in different colors? Sure you do... Only got four of them - plus a wild card...

Upside-down pics deleted...

I've always been partial to the blue, but brown and green are strong contenders...

EDIT: OK, my phone played tricks on me again and rotated the pictures... *sigh*. I'll edit the pics tomorrow when I'm on a faster connection...
EDIT 2: Lyon fixed it for me. Nice.
EDIT 3: Deleted the pics, but the thumbnails are still showing... I'm not great at posting pictures...
