This is it...I want this color for my Model S please!!!

I'm always a big fan of grey cars.. been through 6 grey ones so far, the best was long time ago BMW E36's Dark Graphite (can't remember exact name...).

Anyway current M6 Frozen Grey looks grrrrreat and would go very well with Model S I think.:love:

Kinda' looks like plain Aluminum with Clear Coat to me (although the Bimmer had to have paint that makes the steel look like aluminum)!

Has been suggested before; Tesla can easily get that done!

Exactly the color I would kill for. That should have been a "Signature Color"!

Zow. It's also substantially de-chromed. Is that a matte finish?

Why not go for the military gray?????

MikeK, it's a matte finish. Looks fabulous in real life, but at certain angles it loses that special *pop* that a gloss color gives.

Must be interesting to maintain.

I like the tesla silver. More unique than all the bmws everywhere IMO

Can't agreed more!!!

Maintenance seems quite easy...

And you never have to wax or polish your car, since that destroys the look of a matte finish.

Since all auto assembly lines have a sanding/polishing area for getting out small imperfections, makes it real tough to get a piece of dirt when you cannot easily just knock it out in this area. If you thought there were delays now, imagine a whole line with Signature vehicles that each have to have the paint specially repaired in an areas that something has gone wrong.

Tesla was smart to avoid this initially. Maybe bring in as an option eventually, but way more trouble than it's worth for them at launch.

Yes, that make sense and I agreed with you. Even BMW can only offer that in their Individual Line..
