artsci I think the red car at the Motor Trend COTY award was the new red. I would not say that it's darker, but perhaps brighter with a bit more orange. It's more like a Ferrari red.�
Dec 11, 2012
PhatCat My configuration specialist told me that the MT COTY car is the 2013 red. He also said that it would be a 3 month delay in my delivery�

xhawk101 Delicious red! Are they going to give it a proper name other than just red?

Dec 12, 2012
PhatCat My delivery specialist refers to it as 2013 Red. Pretty prosaic.
More poetic, Flame or Madder. Corvette already has Magnetic Red. They could go the Apple route with New Red. Or prophetically, Ticket Magnet Red. Personally I would prefer something with a little more pop, say Kick S Red, but somehow I don't see Tesla going with that one.�
Dec 12, 2012
artsci Don't care what they call it, just love it, especially now that my change from blue to red has been finalized and April/May delivery is looming.
Did some checking and this color appears close to PMS 186. I'll be visiting the Tesla store in DC on Monday, so I'll take some PMS samples with me to check the match.�
Dec 12, 2012
kevincwelch All right.
I like the red. I have never contemplated buying a red car in the past. I've seen the published pictured in this thread -- they seem more studio production photos.
Just got done with the design studio. For any of you who have seen it in person or have an opinion, how much is it like the design studio?

artsci I first saw this red on one of the two cars on stage at the Motor Trend MOTY event in New York City. It was what set in motion my desire to change from blue to red. Like you, I've never had a red car or planned to have one. But this red... The Design Studio does not do full justice to the color.�
Dec 13, 2012
kevincwelch So, a couple questions.
1. Is this different from the "Sunset Red" people saw on the Get Amped Tour?
2. Is the red more like a Ferrari red and less like the deep red in the design studio?�

artsci Love the scenes around Boston. Brings back many memories of those sites, as I've visited most of them (my brother has lived in Concord for most of his adult life). You've taken very good photos but I agree that the camera does not do full justice to the green. It might be cool at some point in the future to shoot a few photos around Harvard and MIT, as Boston is the birthplace of several of the very best universities in the world.�

Martin Germany Hello from Germany,
I am waiting for my delivery. will probably be in September or October of this year. Here's my question: Has anyone dared to chose grey exterior with tan leather/gloss wood interior yet? it is daring, but it might be very avantgarde. If so, can you please post a picture with doors open?
Thanks and cheers, Martin�
Mar 7, 2013
mulder1231 Martin, that's a very beautiful configuration, I'm sure many people (like me) ordered that combination. I don't have a photo with the door open, but in this one you can see the tan leather color from the outside through the window. I'll try to take some pictures with the door open and the dash in view, and post them here later.
- - - Updated - - -
Couple of pics added with the doors open (not the best quality, dirty iPad lens).
�
Mar 8, 2013
medved Nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Added to the album here and here. I like the combination grey/tan leather but are you not afraid that the tan leather will show more dirt?�
Mar 8, 2013
Cheerose Thanks for this thread and the Picassa album. Is there something similar regarding interior colors?
I think that I want my MS in blue, but not sure what would go well with it on the inside.�
Mar 8, 2013
mulder1231 I does show dirt more, so you will have to be a little more careful. But I expect you would be able to clean spots in most cases.
Btw. I'm surprised blue is the most popular color according to the poll so far. I see several Teslas on the road every day, here in the Bay Area, but most are black, white, signature red or grey.�
Mar 11, 2013
Martin Germany hello Mulder1231,
thank you so much for those pictures. That is exactly (!) what I was looking for! Helped me tremendously.
God, it's beautiful! Exactly how I immagined. A bit "Aston-Martin"-like. Very cool. So that's settled. Can't wait now!

RSargeant Boring colours?
OK, we took the plunge and are eagerly awaiting our S here in Switzerland, but what colour?
I have to say that the reduced colour selection is pretty boring!
Here's what I see in my configurator as of 15 November 2014:
Non-metallic black
Non-metallic white
Silver metallic
Dark blue metallic
Dark grey metallic
Pearl white
Red multi-layer metallic
Both the dark green and brown have thankfully vanished, but in my opinion the remaining selection is pretty boring and we are hoping that Tesla introduce some more before we finally have to decide.
Am I alone in thinking this a pretty limited selection? And many of these are "non-colours" like greys and blacks. OK, the pearl white is pretty, but downtown Z�rich doesn't get Californian sun, and that red is "not quite right". A deeper shade would be great. Silver is deeply boring, black is a pain to keep clean, I like the dark blue but again worry about keeping it clean. That's probably be the colour if we are forced to choose, but "forced" is the operative word here.
We are really looking forward - but colours...
Richard
(By the way, I'm British in case anyone is wondering about my spelling of "colours")!�
Nov 15, 2014
doug I don't know that I'd call them boring, but they certainly aren't extreme. I'm sure they represent what the majority of customers want, and since Tesla is production limited, it makes sense what they are offering.
It's pretty easy to get a wrap in whatever color you want these days anyhow.�
Nov 15, 2014
andrewket Interesting to note, at least on the P85D tracking thread, that silver is the least common. It's interesting that Tesla didn't kill silver.
I agree with rsargeant, the current color options are limiting. I think Tesla is going to do something special with the new paint shop once it's online.�
Nov 19, 2014
gg_got_a_tesla I take exception to that! The green's classy and the brown has its own appeal. It was always better to have them on the roster than otherwise.
Btw, how can a Brit not like green?!! Agreed, it's not quite the British Racing Green, but all the same...�

bwa I've been following Tesla cars for a while now, and I have a note regarding their colors.
They should offer a high class range of cheery colors, by which I mean, brighter lighter colors, happy colors. Psychology studies show that darker colors make people more depressed and negative. For success of the people seeing, owning, and purchasing the car, a wider selection of factory-standard positive psychology colors should be available. And since these are luxury cars, the available colors should be high class (i.e., not some mid-brightness cheap Toyota blue or something). I recently saw a P85D "racing blue" which is similar to a pretty sky blue driven supposedly by some kid in a Redwood City neighborhood, and that is exactly the beautiful positive color type that I'm talking about which should be among the factory options. This would require an investment by Tesla to offer these additional colors, but would be made back by Tesla in the big picture many fold by increased sales and satisfaction (higher yields).
As to what particular colors to choose, I leave that up to a color designer. So far, I already identified one: that "racing blue". Since White is already available, and the available Red seems almost "bright" enough by itself, and I do believe you also have a happy Green (which is for whatever reason an odd color to choose), I think perhaps a color expert would have to do an expensive selection of at least one more "happy" color. I mulled over this myself, and besides banana (yellow) which to me is just silly, I came up with Amber. It's not quite prison construction orange nor activist florescent yellow, and nor is it poop gold or piss yellow; it's more like a richer luminescent dusk sunset color. And I'm not satisfied with that being the "other new color" I'm trying to pinpoint. What I know the color should be is something of a fantastic tint that might not have a "regular" color name, and that should be fine.
Also, if they brightened up their "dark blue" just a small tad to a nice tint that is visibly a nice deep dark blue even in darker lighting, that might "lift the spirits" of the average factory colors. A similar attempt could be done with their cream, silvers, grays, and other non-black dark colors available.
As a business strategy, it made sense to start with subdued colors to "sneak" the product out into the public without much fanfare. And going forward, a lot of really good customers want to maintain the full availability of those subdued understated colors. However, now that Tesla is well known, it makes a decent business strategy to invest in additional "happy" cheery colors as well. They don't have to sell like hotcakes: they just have to be rich enough, high class enough, and happy enough that the positive vibe of those beautiful Teslas driving around our road systems is just all that much better.

Hmm. Correction: I do not see the "bright green" I thought was available factory; that must have been custom. My mistake. (And I can't find the Edit button.)

The closest I can find is the KP Pigments color "Deep Sea Blue"... I'm also considering this Deep Sea Blue with a blend of Alien RL-71 (see this link: Genesis Coupe, Deep Sea blue w/ alien RL-71).
Your color is very close to these.

Tech_Guy Go with your gut on the color choice... For me originally I was thinking black midnight silver or blue, but living in Los Angeles those colors are everywhere, not just on Teslas but every other car as well, red however really stands out and I've always wanted a red car... Once I saw one in the local showroom in RED it was all over it had to be Multi Coat RED.
Something else I did was coat the whole car in paint protective film from 3M, specifically the scotch guard pro product as I want my car to look showroom new for years to come and be easy to clean, without worry of damaging the paint or adding swirls. With the film coating I can use a spray wax for a quick detail while supercharging without worry of damaging the paint creating scratches by rubbing dirt on the clear coat of the paint.�
