i think the graphite looks better in light and dark. Oak is cool too. may have considered it if given the option back when i ordered.

i honestly think this is just a little change to keep sales #'s up before the truly re-designed S & X hit the market either at the end of June or sometime in Q3...
In general, i like brightwork and feel as if it looks a bit less luxurious in the photos. On the other hand, the "silver" trim in Model S is very soft and has accumulated a number of little dings over the years. So, I hope the new material is also more resistant to dents. That would make it worthwhile.

Tesla has been fairly consistent with incremental updates to the interior trim. I don't think that there are many pieces of the current Model S interior that are still the same as they were on the 2012 model. The X has not has as many changes, but it also has no been available as long either.

i took delivery of my car with dings in the silver trim...it was a DEMO car so i looked past it.
Thats why I like the darker trim, in my Bolt that chrome bit on the dash was awful when it came to glare.

I doubt it will be realistic to retrofit it with parts directly from Tesla as most of the trim is sold a part of a much larger assembly. I will probably just vinyl wrap it in the end.

I doubt it's a new material and any more damage resistant — just a new finish.
Here is a photo of the Premium Whiter Interior with Carbon Fiber and the new graphite trim.

Yes. The silver trim is just a bit stronger than aluminium foil.
Tesla replaced the trim that was dented on my driver's door as a courtesy - no idea how that ding got there. On the passenger side, a "friend" let go of their seatbelt when unbuckling instead of guiding it back to a resting position and the metal part left a nice dent on the trim just below the B pillar.
I would have to imagine this change is at least partially meant to improve the durability of the trim pieces.
Hold on here!!! They took away the accent material off the inside door panel? Before this change the wood, carbon fiber etc wrapped around from the front dash to the sides of the door. That's not cool if this is the case, first they take the velvet like material off the dash and now the accent trim off the door panels? What is going on with the Model X, are they making the door panels Like the Model S to save money and time?
Lets hope the pictures they are sending out are generic showing the Model S. The notice I received with the attached picture has no trim accent on the door of my newly ordered model X.
Here is my notice pasted below, look how the door panel accent is gone.

I order my Apple MacBooks in Silver and my trim reminds me a lot of that on my S and X, now this is just my opinion but this looks like a space grey and I’m not a fan. My Tesla’s are like a fine wine getting better with age!
Alcantara dash, Ventilated seats, and now silver trim I’m doing better with every refresh!

That's an S. The X does not have the upholstered panel on the B pillar.Hold on here!!! They took away the accent material off the inside door panel?

Too much trouble for them to send out the right picture of what your buying, I guess.
