It's Spring! The Model S Design Studio is Live! part 1

    indeed it is. The "two-tone" white interior looks great in this shot. If I were getting a black car, I might be tempted on this:

    FYI, it looks like they updated the renders too. If you compare old and new:

    OLD:

    NEW:

    Might need to open both images side by side to see the red is lighter in the new renders.

    Here's the black comparison. New version is definitely lighter as you see less shadow and see more of the lines of the car:

    Force quit all your browser processes/tasks and restart it. Clearing your cache may also work. Or reboot if you can handle it.

    try holding shift while you click the refresh button. In most browsers this clears your cache and does a "hard refresh"

    I noticed if you send your design to PDF, the text in the PDF refers to my design as having a black roof, even though I chose panoramic.

    After attending the open house last weekend, I must say that the pictures on the website don't do the interior justice. I'm not sure I like the black interior as much on the website as I did live at the open house.

    Also the exterior colors look a lot better in person than in the design studio. I would really love to see the blue and green exterior colors live.

    No problems for me with Chrome.

    The wife and I narrowed it down to Silver/Gray/Pearl exterior (need to see in person), Gray interior with Lacewood/Carbon depending of if we get base or perf. I was really keen on the Pearl White, but the brighter colors in this version of the design studio made the other colors really stand out for me and made me reconsider.

    The base vs. performance decision purely boils down to whether Tesla will decide to give me a credit on the 21"->19" tire downgrade or I can find someone willing to swap for, say, $2750. It gripes me to no end to even have to deal with that.

    I see a small bug. Select wood or lacewood then scroll through the interior renderings. Then select piano black and scroll through and it will cling onto the old decor

    Yes, I noticed the same thing. I keep selecting the Piano Black decor, and it keeps changing it to banana leaf when I cycle through the different views.

    The design studio worked great on the iPad; it's touch-enabled as well and one can just swipe through all the views! Well done, Tesla!

    Wife and I are set with our config:
    - Blue
    - Piano Black
    - Gray leather
    - 19" default wheels
    - Pano roof

    The Blue/Piano-Black/Gray-leather come together beautifully, IMHO! See the top-view.

    Heck, my future license plate (my avatar to the left) would complement the Blue nicely!

    I was wondering that too, but when I go and look at the TM site the whole design / config section is non functional.

    Anyone want to see some unusual colours ? ... name a colour ...

    Thanks. Probably some problem with my browser. I couldn't get the Design Studio to load "fresh", but I did have 2 car already configured so I told it to reconfigure one of the 2 cars I already had done and then I finally got the choice to look at a Performance package.

    +1 I wonder when Tesla will build a beta in blue so that we can see it in person. I'm also torn between lacewood versus piano black with black leather interior. Piano black looks safe, but lacewood is more interesting. I'd be interested in others' opinions, especially from anyone who has seen the lacewood on one of the betas.

    Not sure if it's considered a bug, but did anyone else notice that the big interior shot always has the pano-roof, even if you didn't select it?
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    dsm363
    I don't think they mean it to be the pano roof. If you look, there's absolutely nothing there. It looks like they are trying to show you a peak through the top as if it weren't even there.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    AnOutsider
    There's a bar across the middle though. Doesn't the pano roof have that?
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    dsm363
    Yeah. In the middle of the car. From the top down view it's missing so it looks like they are trying to give you a look of the entire interior from the top without anything blocking your view (even the glass is missing).

    I'm a little disappointed in the performance seats. Other than the red piping (black leather), they didn't do much. A two toned Rally style seat like the Roadster or maybe the Tesla logo in the head rest would have been great.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012

    I think Trnsl8r is talking about the full passenger side interior view, not the overhead view. If so, it looks like he's correct: That view shows the pano roof even if you have selected a solid roof.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012

    You're right. Definitely a bug. I was initially responding the post with the overhead shot.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012

    The other thing I've noticed is that on every interior view/selection, it shows a white, or cream colored headliner. If this is the only headliner color choice, I'm disappointed. I've never seen a car with a mandatory headliner choice other than dark charcoal. White is an anomaly, and seems to throw yet another color into the mix.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    onlinespending
    It's certainly not pure white, but a cream color as you say. A light headliner gives a much more open feeling to the cabin. You're not gonna want a dark headliner. It'll feel suffocating. Light gray seems to be a common headliner choice for cars, even with dark interiors, which makes sense. I think they made the right choice here.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Larry Chanin
    Based on the Design Studio renderings I agree that from my perspective a cream colored headliner doesn't really go well with the grey or black interior, black or white would. I think cream looks fine with the tan interior.

    Larry
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Larry Chanin
    Are you saying the headliner is cream or light grey? In my opinion it makes a difference in matching the interiors provided.

    I agree the headliner should be a light color.

    Larry

    Hi all,

    My wife and I have been debating the importance of matching the color of the interior to the color of the exterior. Assuming our color selections are fixed as presented in the Design Studio, in selecting an interior color, which is more important to you, matching the interior to the exterior, or matching to the headliner color?

    Thanks.

    Larry
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    gg_got_a_tesla
    Larry, matching (or contrasting, according to some) the interior to the exterior would be more important, IMO. The headliner color is surely going to be neutral enough to go with any of the interior combos of upholstery and trim.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    brianman
    I don't think anybody's mentioned it yet...

    1. The seat belt receptacle for the driver's side matches the interior coloration [of the side, ceiling].
    2. The "key" portion of the seat belt looks chrome with a black frame around it.
    3. The "lock" portion of the rear seatbelts is black.

    All three of the above appears to be consistent across all interior combinations.

    The fabric of the seat belt is color-matched to the white interior OR is black. This appears to be a Signature exclusive.

    Edit in brackets.

    Hi, Larry -- Like you, I find the slight clash between the cream headliner and the gray leather to be jarring -- jarring enough that I'm nervous about choosing gray. I don't have the same problem with the cream and black, and I agree that the cream and tan look good together.

    From my perspective, either the tan or gray goes with either the blue or green exterior, so I haven't had to face the question of giving up my preferred paint to accommodate the mismatched headliner/leather. I take some comfort from reports that the tan in the Design Studio is yellower than the actual samples at Santana Row -- perhaps that's the case with the headliner, too?
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Larry Chanin
    Hi Robert,

    Thanks for the response.

    Weren't you also considering a silver exterior at one time? Would your answer have been different if silver was your preferred exterior color?

    Larry
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Robert.Boston
    Silver is a distant third on my preferred color list, but it's getting bumped up because

    • I think the black interior is the most cohesive look Tesla offers.
    • I don't like black interiors with very dark exterior paint.
    Silver's still third, though. At least today.:biggrin:
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Tommy
    I can live with the headliner being cream colored, it's the creme pillar posts next to the gray leather that is so jarring. I hope that they are being misrepresented in the Design studio as creme colored. The interior would look much more integrated if the pillar posts matched the interior color selected.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Larry Chanin
    Hi Tommy,

    If Tesla doesn't match the pillar posts color to the interior, would you consider changing your interior color selection?

    Thanks.

    Larry
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Robert.Boston
    It's industry-standard to use the headliner fabric on the pillar posts -- check out the interiors on BMW 5-series, Audi A6, or MB E-class.

    Revisiting the MB E-class configurator was instructional. Note that MB, like Tesla, keeps nearly all of the (gray/black) interior the same regardless of the leather color. Audi, OTOH, uses the same silver-white headliner for the black, brown, and gray leather, but shifts to a cream headliner for the tan leather. BMW changes most interior elements to match or complement the interior upholstery--even the dead pedal is color-coded!
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Tommy
    Yes, I would consider changing my interior color selection. I prefer the gray interior but have the color conflict with the pillars to deal with. The tan color interior matches the pillar posts the best IMO, however on my display the tan has an orange hue to it which I do not care for. So I am left with waiting to see actual production car interiors to finalize my decision.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Robert.Boston
    Hmm, did anyone else notice that the interior does not include:
    • Grab handles above the doors
    • Small hooks above the rear doors, to hang a jacket
    I certainly use those hooks on a regular basis -- I don't drive in my suit-jacket to avoid creasing, and hanging it above the left rear passenger door is very convenient (and standard on every competing vehicle I've driven). The grab handle was something that my (now deceased) arthritic mother always used to help on entry and egress. I'd put those hooks on a higher priority list than the grab bars, inasmuch as they aren't nearly as intrusive.

    Did anyone fiddle around with the backseat? It appears that there are fold-down arms built in back there -- yes, no? If so, did they have any cupholders?
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Tommy
    True for today's cars, yet I remember fondly my '81 MB 300SD having an off-white headliner with the rest of the interior gray, very elegant. Maybe I am trying to hard to relive the great memories I had of that car.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    spatterso911
    I too took notice of the lack of headliner handles (OSH) in any beta I sat in. The bulges in the rear seat aren't functional AFAIK, they are sewn in and do not fold out. I wonder if the seat hinges are behind them to allow the seat to fold forward.
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Larry Chanin
    Hi Robert,

    I was in the white beta when it visited Florida. There were no fold-down armrests. The Tesla rep said it had something to do with the 60-40 fold-down seatbacks. No cupholders in the back either.

    I'm guessing they offer the revised center console it will have one or two cupholders for rear passengers.

    Larry
    �
  • Mar 25, 2012
    Tommy
    The Tesla rep. would be mistaken than. I own a Lexus 350RX that has 60-40 fold-down seatbacks and Lexus has integrated both cup holders and arm rests into the seats. The wheel doesn't always have to be reinvented.

    I always match the exterior to the interior. I.E. I pick the interior color first. That's the view of the car I see most. Then I pick an exterior that goes with it.

    For the last car (my daughter's car - but one I borrow at will) - that meant picking the red leather with black-anodized aluminum trim first - then getting a matching exterior (white). I never would have chosen a white exterior first.

    Interesting, MB uses dual-tone interior as well. As far as interior colors are concerned, I have to admit that I like the "almond" color. It's warmer than gray, but not as yellow/orange as beige (tan is more like beige). i think I'd choose almond if it were available on the S. However I like all 4 of Tesla's dash trims better than the 2 MB trims (although I'm sure some would like those).

  • Mar 25, 2012

    Btw, did anyone else notice the two "gills" at the bottom of the headliner for the A pillar on the driver's side? You can see them in the interior view staring right at the steering wheel and the touchscreen. What are they?!

    Those are defogging vents to keep the side windows from fogging up.

    OK, cream pillars and headliner with gray interior is pretty bad combo. If the headliner is always cream, that's definitely a minus. I'm hoping its a "bug" in the studio. Otherwise, really only tan and black are the viable interior colors.
    �
  • Mar 26, 2012
    Robert.Boston
    I'll repost (from the TM boards) an idea I had last night -- Tesla should assemble kits of all the exterior paints (on curved surfaces) and all the interior materials. A reservation-holder puts down a $100 deposit, Tesla ships a kit. When you send the kit back, Tesla refunds $80, keeping $20 for shipping/handling/kit-degradation. (Take the numbers as "for instances".)

    Many reservation holders live a long ways from a Tesla store, and the cost of getting all the relevant decision-makers to a store may be steep. These kits -- similar to ones made available to Roadster reservation holders -- would solve the problem in a way that the Design Studio can't.

    I have understood that having light upper level colors on the interior is for visual continuity. You are generally looking out bright windows, and the surround is light. Less contrast. You don't need to see your feet or other distracting things below the seats, so that area is dark. It's for us ADD people.
    �
  • Mar 26, 2012
    Robert.Boston
    But you can have a "light upper level color" for the headliner without creating a color clash: use cream for the tan, and silvery-grey-white for the other colors.

    I like that, I'd like samples of the interior stuff in particular as I'm not wanting to upgrade to leather, but if the microfiber stuff is cheap/or doesn't look good or durable I'd consider the extra expense. Exterior paint isn't as big an issue for me.

    But being at least 8 hours drive from the closest Tesla store definately puts me at a disadvantage for all the color/material matching.
