REAL Pictures of Model S

[kevincwelch]

I'm finally in.

I visited the Tesla Store in Oak Brook, IL and after about 45 minutes with the guys there I made my reservation. Quite excited by all this.

I snapped a bunch of pictures while I was there. Probably old news for many of you, but I thought I would share them anyway.

Thanks for sharing your shots!

I think yours is the first picture I've seen of the rear-facing seats folded down in the trunk.

And congrats on your reservation! Now the waiting...

Does anyone have any pictures of a signature red performance car with the 21" carbon grey wheels? Every red car seems to have the 21" silver wheels. According to the salesman who was finalizing my order, the carbon grey are supposed to go well with the carbon fiber accents on the exterior of the car.

I've only seen the white. At the westchester event I wanted to ask to bring a wheel and lay it next to the red to snap a pic, but it was insanely busy

Hadn't seen these before....."Tesla" brake blocks:

This is VIN#29 BTW.

Here's the full luggage space with rear seats folded down on VIN#29:

Looks like we could comfortably sleep in there.

Thanks Nigel. Anymore lacewood interior shots? Would like to see how brown it looked, as well as any shots of it on the armrests if possible.

Looks SUV size!

I didn't measure it, but I'd say it was a little narrower than my wife's Mountaineer but was definitely longer.

I'm in the next batch of cars to get the call (in the 590s). I've decided on the Performance Red with white interior. Can't decide between the carbon vs silver wheels. Especially hard given that I've never seen anything other than the white with the carbon wheesl (I thought it looked great but white is very different than dark red). Any thoughts on how people think the carbon will go with this car? Just looking for anything that will help push me off this line!

Silver wheels with Red, imho. The carbon just doesn't seem to go with the red as well.

Maybe if they changed the other chrome fixtures to the carbon, then I would go for the carbon wheels. But as is, the shiny goes with the shiny. :tongue:

That's what I'm thinking as well. Kind of already locked into the performance wheels though. Might be able to change to the silver wheels. This is where at least seeing real pictures would have been nice before locking in. I hope the Sig Red looks ok with the performance wheels. I'm not as sure now looking at the design studio.

I think the pics look ok, but personally I think the silver wheels look awesome on the red. I have seen (actual) the grey wheels on the white and they looked awesome there.

 

[dsm363]

I was able to change it in time to silver wheels. Little disappointed they picked sport wheels that were grey instead of black. Think that would have looked better. Oh well, matches the chrome trim now at least.

I asked if they could send me any real pictures of the performance wheels on the sig red and was told just the design studio picture at this point.

No armrest shots, but I did find this one on my camera:

I know the event is coming up, but I stumbled on this pics from my iPhone and since black is sorta sparse here, I'll add em:

Has there ever been a blue car taken a picture of? I would really like to see it.
