White interior available for AWD /nonP
- Thread starter Adeon
- Start date
Probably a little of both up'ed production and lower than expected P Orders/White Interior addons

I think you’re discounting the most obvious possibility. There was never a limit and the “limit” was set to maximize profits. How hard could it possibly be to source white vinyl? It was planned to be released Fall 2017.

I can say with confidence that is probably not happening any time soon. They’ll ship internationally before that happens. Every move they’re making is to maximize profits. No way the non PUP model will cost $5k less to build.
We've been waiting for white seats, LR or SR, for my wife's car. AWD at $4k with full tax credit versus maybe half credit waiting for white seats on LR RWD was not too hard to decide. We ordered AWD, red, white interior, EAP, Sep - Nov delivery estimate.
We have had our X with white seats for nearly a year and a half. I wiped the interior down last week for the first time. No kids helps, but it's not a fussy interior. That includes a bunch of family kids playing in the X with shoes on, climbing on the seats and over the front center console arm rest. It just doesn't grab onto dirt like a fabric might. And you can sit on the seats when it's 115F outside even without Cabin Overheat Protection enabled.

Not if people keep posting glowing reviews of the P.
I wish they'd just stop that.
We really need a review of the AWD without the P ASAP.
We have the white interior in our X. We received delivery in March 2016 when our little one was almost 2 and have had no issues with staining or tearing and it gets abused. We are very happy with it. It was a no brainer for me to configure it on my 3P.

I'm going to call them first thing tomorrow, and ask them about it before editing my order. If changing it online updates the order date, perhaps I can get a sales rep over the phone to do it at their end without changing the date.
EDIT:
OK, I lied. I was deathly afraid of my edit link disappearing by morning, so after reading on Facebook that someone else had already called and confirmed that order date won't change, I went ahead and updated to white interior. It will be a shame if Facebook is wrong, but really, what are the chances of that?

There isn't a good reason for why white seats cost more. And there isn't a good reason why there isn't a free white paint, either.
Incorrect. Multi-coat has always been more expensive than flat black.
"Catalina White" (on Model S/X), when it was offered, was the same price as "Solid Black".

I didn't say the current white should be free. I said there wasn't a good reason for not offering a free version of white paint (like they do with black).
Agreed. I'm also not sure I like the white dash panel either - I wish it was CF. Even though I have always wanted white - I'm pretty sure I'm just going to stick with the black.

can't argue that, but they got me good, i would have gone for a more basic white if it was cheaper and white interior and saved 3k. 3k is no joke just to get a decent color for my Climate. black is no good when it's 118 out!
I'm going to pony up on this one knowing it may not be the best decision, i would have opted for any color car and interior than black...
Now if they'll make the 20" wheels available as an option rather than a separate sale thing...

Would probably save ~$2k by getting all black and then tinting all of the glass with quality film. Not sure there'd be a noticeable difference in temperature at that point. I also plan on using the preconditioning most of the time, too.
