Just received my S last night, and have now had some time with it. Both my wife and I have observed that the color of the so-called Tan leather is much closer to beige/white than the tan shown in the Design Studio. Anyone else notice this?

Can you show us a photo? Please put something that you know is a neutral white in the image, so one can color-correct if necessary.

That had been reported quite a while back during the test rides/drives...I was glad b/c I really didn't like the tan color in the photos, couldn't get gray until December which was suggested as a cause of delay (turns out it wasn't). But I'm glad it's a less gaudy color.

Interesting. I made a point of visiting a Tesla store to look at the leather samples. While the tan is less brown/orange than in the Design Studio, it was still far too brown/orange for my tastes.
The grey, however, was a lot lighter and closer to off-white than I expected. The grey appears really dark in the studio but it's actually very pale.

I think it's very dependent on the lighting conditions. You should definitely view some real samples, preferably in an actual Model S. I had been making all my color decisions based on the website design studio and showroom samples, but I completely changed my decisions after seeing them in an actual Model S.
Heh. And I was thinking the grey would be too dark, and discovered that it was a very washed out grey and I liked it. :biggrin:Similarly, I drove a silver/grey car in Oakbrook not too long ago, and I was thinking the grey would look similar to the grey leather in my Honda. In reality, the leather was a very washed out grey and I personally hated it.
So, if you can see it in the flesh, you might make some very unexpected changes in your configuration. I certainly did.
