It's said that Tesla already will do this, but they charge a fortune for it, any idea what Porsche charges for that?Not that hard (or revolutionary). In Porsche-speak, that's called "paint to sample"

1208, that burnt orange is sick.
Precisely. The sea of boring monochromatic vehicles on the 405 FWY is depressing. I think people go for 'colors' that look great in a showroom or in a driveway. They forget that the 'values' they actually choose are low visibility while in motion. Too many sharks and sleepers in the water. So ultimately you can't tell one from the other against a background of gray.
I would have bought any of these. Though my preferences are Banana Yellow and top of all, Lavender.Lime, Mint, Orange Candy and Electric Blue
Tesla actually shut up about this a while back. They are currently using a plain old paint shop which is decades out of date in technology, basically the NUMMI shop unmodified.We keep hearing about how Tesla will have the most advanced paint shop in the world or some such thing,
Paint-to-sample is the way to go for the future. I hope they manage to pull this off with a new paint shop because it would be really, really popular.if that's really the case they should be able to let you pick ANY colour, just give them the CMYK values and if you want metallic, gloss, flat, or multi-coat.
Last I heard, Porsche charges something like $5500. I don't think they let you pick any color (certainly not by CMYK value or Pantone #) - you have to select one from their very large palette (ie, one that they know how to mix successfully). But it's a big palette and not hard to find something pretty close to your target.It's said that Tesla already will do this, but they charge a fortune for it, any idea what Porsche charges for that?
Which decade are we talking about?I'm not sure about mint, but the other three are great. Had enough silver and gray for the decade.
Hehe, have you checked the design center lately? The "no extra cost" white is gone. The only "no extra cost" color left is "solid black", all others are $1000 or $1500 for the two multi coat colors (white and red)...I'm surprised that neither of the whites are higher, especially given one of them's a no-cost option.

You are correct and no, I don't think their data is based on the last week of ordering. I was much more commenting on the half sentence "one of them's a no-cost option" - I should have made that more clear.But that only happened, what, a week ago? Certainly their data isn't from only the period since the color changes?
Here is a real world custom paint Terracotta Pearl, on forum member dennis's car http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/show...factory-custom?p=957767&viewfull=1#post957767
Its not quite as bright as the orange but still good non the less.
