White Interior

[Pieter Knispel]

I have been jonzing for the white interior since I heard it might be an option, and I feel like I had finally settled on my colour choices, but then I saw some of the pics from Model 3's in the wild, with the white interior... and the door panels have a white cutout, and the current faux wood panel piece, is also replaced by a white piece of trim. Im kind of aghast at this... am I wrong to dislike those choices? I just want the white faux leather seats, and not on these other spots!

What does everyone else think?

Unfortunately, until the white interior is actually released, we won't know what it will look like. I too am waiting for that.

I actually prefer the white panels and dash trim also being white. I don't see the point of a white interior if only the seats are white. It just doesn't fit the theme, in my opinion.

My model X has a white interior, and my wife's has a black interior. The white on various non-seat surfaces makes my vehicle feel noticably larger. So far as I know the vehicles have identical interior space.

I really like the white seats and white inner door skins but not the white dash panel. Door skins look smooth like seat material. The only thing ‘off’ to me is the light grey headliner with the white interior. Really like the black/contrast.

I like the white interior but not the white dash insert. I much prefer the wood in the black interior personally. That being said I don’t think it would look good as is in the white interior but maybe if it were stained a different color for the white interior ...

Will it be a white iPAD as well?

I agree. Seats and door inserts, no problem. Dash, horrible. At least the center console won't be white. Just needs a black headliner.

That white presumably non-wood dash will be easier to cover than the wood veneer one. You can use the same material you will be using for the piano black center console.

Did anyone else notice the white interior pictures above are from a Model 3?? Where were these pictures taken? This looks like a production grade quality interior.

Will the white interior cost more than current PUP?

We don't know, but on the Model S, it is $3,300 more. I'm expecting it to be about $3,000 more, but it really is anybody's guess right now.

I liked the white center console in the prototype very much, but don't see it in these pics.

Anything other than the textile seats are additional cost for example on the S and X. Since the current offered black for the 3 is not the textile, one would assume that the cost is already included and no reason the white should cost more. For the S or X, the white doesn't cost any more than the other non-textile options. Of course, how it ends up being is anyone's guess.

I just looked, isn't the white faux-leather upgrade the same as the black ($3300)?

So maybe the PUP with white would the be same $5000 cost?

It is entirely possible that the White interior will just be a variant option only available when you choose the PUP. Tesla gets their up-sell margins and happy to take that.

"Because if you are willing to hold out this long for a white interior surely you're willing to step up to an LRD price tag to get it months earlier."

I assume they happened to check the VINs to decode that? Not sure how they would know for sure otherwise.
