I’vre never liked the black interior for this reason. It’s too monotone. Everything is black. And then there’s the issue of heat. Personally I like the cream interior, as it’s classy, and gives the cabin a light and airy feel. That’s especially true with its light headliner, something even the sterile white seats don’t offer. There is the issue of cleanliness with the lighter colors, but I think it’s well worth it.

No, because the cream interior still has a ton of black pieces in it. A little too much for my taste, but it’s very much dual tone.

yes, and you don't get the "closed-in" claustrophobic feeling that black interiors give you.
this X is the first all black interior i've owned and my next car will be light again.
I'd have to see the oak and the new trim in person to judge it. I was at my service center today for a repair, so i wandered into the showroom and tried to find a sample of the new oak. There did not yet seem to be sample of it on the wall. (I was there early, so there were no sales staff in yet to ask.) I have not yet seen a car with the cream interior. One thing I did notice is that the cream sample on the wall did not seem that different in tone from my car's gray upholstery, which we like but is no longer offered. Hard to judge from the wall sample, though....

cream is absolutely lovely.
i was given a Midnight Silver X100D for the weekend with cream 6 seat configuration and it was absolutely divine...

I can share some pictures of my cream model X later. Really goes well with a darker exterior, like the Midnight Silver for instance. Doesn't look gray at all
I created an album of midnight silver with cream, for those curious how it looks

So the MCU bezel which includes the 2 buttons was $361 to replace last I got a quote from the SvC.
There’s one silver trim piece above that (this is for the S) and it is very tempting to replace them both with the grey pieces.
It’s a shame there isn’t an exterior chrome to graphite option that would include the door handles.

Did you get to change the cream interior (either to a different color or add carbon fiber) without the $500 change fee?
I don't like the oak wood color change with the cream interior and my OA says that there's no way they can waive the $500 change fee .not what I was expecting from Tesla . I wouldn't have asked for this change in the first place if Tesla hadn't changed the ash wood to oak wood.
If someone got to change it at no cost, please share your experience. I would like to use it to argue my case .my vehicle will probably enter production in the next week or so.
Thanks!
It's just a generic, you can go to the configurator and see the MX interior and it still has the accents.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.
We wanted to let you know that your Model X order has been upgraded: the silver interior trim throughout your cabin has been updated with our new graphite finish.
Since your Model X was configured before we introduced this interior update, your order has already been upgraded and there is no action required on your end.
If you have any questions about your order, contact us at (888) 518‑3752.
"Ventilated seats" ... as much I see they are re-introduced with the new P-model interior.
I agree the black interior is way too black! But a light headliner is IMO a disaster if you have kids around the car, bad weather or even if the SC guys get their grubby hands on them. It's one thing using a wet wipe to clean a light faux leather seat, but headliners are not so easy to keep clean and they can quickly look grubby. I saw an X at a show last weekend with light headlining and it was indeed quite grubby. I'm so glad ours has dark headlining, it's far more practical. We went for the white seats to give some contrast and I think that works very well.
Nice. I'm glad you're enjoying the white seats. I haven't had any problems keeping the headliner clean, as it's never really touched. Granted I don't have kids, but do have a crazy yellow lab and many obnoxious friends haha.

the cynic in me says that Tesla is using up some scrap parts. Bunch of reject bright Al trim with scuffs - paint it to hide the marks and sell it as an exciting new option.
well I did say that was the cynical view :runs
