AnOutsider OK, since this was bugging me, I figured I'd start this thread to help anyone else who may be having trouble choosing. Here are pics I gathered from various threads of the interior trim currently available. If you find any not posted here, please share! (though please try to keep it to REAL pictures).
*edit* thanks to all who helped build this list!�

For the sake of completeness (and a hope that it may come back), here's the original lacewood I fell in love with

AndyM 'Outsider, you are officially my hero of the day. Thank you!�
May 30, 2012
Grendal Love the piano black personally, but your pictures definitely scream...fingerprints!
That old lacewood had a lot of character. I can easily see why you loved it.�
May 30, 2012
kevincwelch The banana leaf looks great with the white leather. I wonder how it would look with all black. I'm favoring an all-black car. I know, a bit boring and the piano black does (as Grendal says) "screams" finger prints...
PS: Thanks for posting this, AnOutsider.�
May 30, 2012
AnOutsider Well apparently banana leaf is being nixed and replaced. I liked the piano lack, but in the end the wife said it was far too plain so we went with the new lacewood. She did make a point that we'd already be wiping the screen down. I don't wanna have to do the same with the dash.
@AndyM surely I can get 2 days outta it!
Hope these help those when your emails come in�
May 30, 2012
Tommy @AnOutsider, the first picture in the # 2 post showing the instrument cluster and surrounding carbon fiber also is the best example I have seen of the true color of the Tan interior. Great find.�
May 30, 2012
jasminewj The Piano Black definitely! Lacewood - too weird. Furniture maybe, but not my car.�
May 30, 2012
AndyM They will. I would also count the previous 'user manual' posts as another heroic effort.
I'm going with the new lacewood... Having seen it in person, it looks nearly as elegant as piano black, but will take less constant wiping.�
May 30, 2012
Larry Chanin Hi,
I'll probably go with Piano Black as well, and I agree that the black and brown stained lacewood looks weird.
However, I keep hoping that Tesla will simply put a clear coat over its natural color. That would look great with a tan interior.
Larry�
May 30, 2012
thomas.rueesch I would pay for carbon fiber in a standard Model S...why not?
Brushed aluminium would also be nice.
Until now only the piano black is the acceptable choice for me in a Standard Model S�
May 30, 2012
Larry Chanin Hi Thomas,
Just as the exclusive colors and badging are reserved to distinguish Signature models, I believe that Tesla plans to use the carbon fibre accents, along with dark wheels, piping, bolsters and spoilers, to distinguish the Performance models.
Larry�
May 31, 2012
AnOutsider So done commented in another thread that it was soft. I'm really torn between the two. My wife chose this weird wood m the Q5 though and I ends up loving it, so i guess I'll defer
I used to +1 brushed aluminum, but I honestly think it would be too much on that expanse of dash. Can't get behind the natural lacewood though, sorry Larry
�
May 31, 2012
ElSupreme I am with you on this. I generally do not like wood in vehicles.
I would probably pay a little to get carbon fiber (although not expecting the option) and would really want brushed Aluminum. I happen to think the piano black will look great, except during pollen season when it will be speckled yellow.�
May 31, 2012
thomas.rueesch Hi Larry
Thanks for the answer, but just as offering the 85kWh for a standard Model S, why block customer choices.
And IMHO a techie-product as the TESLA Model S is...wood just doesn't fit for me...leaving only piano black.
Thomas�
May 31, 2012
jerry33 Ditto for me. Wood in a car makes it look so out of date (being charitable here). So it's piano black for me too, though I'd much rather have something non-glossy. I suppose taking sandpaper to it is out of the question�
Jun 15, 2012
AnOutsider I believe this is our first shot of the black leather with red piping
oh and that carbon fiber actually looks pretty nice on the dash and armrest!

AnOutsider I don't, but I was worried about the lighter-colored ceiling -- no more! Looks pretty good�

gg_got_a_tesla Did you finally go with Lacewood?! No regrets about the CF interior?!�

Jun 15, 2012
mlascano Thanks Nigel.�
Jun 15, 2012
AnOutsider I've got lacewood in yes. I asked my rep if I could change my order when I saw pics of the cars next weekend. She said that should be fine. I'm curious how Piano black holds up to finger prints/dust, and how the CF looks on all that expanse of dash. It looks like it's much more matte now, which should help with finger prints and dust a bit. I really liked the way Jurvetson's car looked like it had leather or matte piano black on the dash.�
Jun 15, 2012
pguerra Super important for buyers in Texas!!! Otherwise it'll be like a high tech greenhouse with cracked leather seats when parked outside, uncovered.�
Jun 15, 2012
jomo25 Have to agree on this point. From these pics, the lighter colored ceiling looks less obnoxious. But I still want more pics of this before I move away from the tan leather interior in my saved design.�

heems Any one can point me to an interior picture of black leather + matte obeche?�
Aug 19, 2012
bbmertz A picture of black leather with glossy Obeche would be helpful as well. I'm still debating between matte and glossy. Was leaning toward matte based on the website, but now considering glossy after visiting the Fashion Island store.�

grisnjam From the motortrend photo set:

Aug 29, 2012
dtich @bb, i'm in the same boat... black interior, debating matte or glossy obeche. was also leaning toward glossy after test drive because it had some actual colors in it, unlike the matte which seems just kind of warm grey... but i'm having second thoughts, or something.. just don't want it TOO glossy. like some sort of toy.
i have black leather and warm wood finish in my car (bmw) now and love it, just trying to get close to that really....�
Aug 29, 2012
bbmertz Me too. I ended up ordering the glossy trim yesterday since the matte looked too drab to me. It is quite shiny but I think it looks a bit more finished. Realistically, either will look good with black leather and it just comes down to personal preference. Good luck with your decision...
@grisnjam, thanks for the pix! Makes me feel even better about my decision.�
Aug 30, 2012
ModelS1079 Interior of R#1079:
Tan Leather.
Glossy Obeche.
I like all the trims, and I also wonder if there could be some better options overall, but...
Why the Obeche? I actually like the wood. I like the grain, the contrast with the uniform leather. I know, I know - it has been called Detroit, dated, many things - but it is not dated. Well, let's say it's as dated as a wooden baseball bat. Wood is the only finish that has stayed the test of time. Like 90 years. And it is real wood (veneer, I am sure, yes), not plastic or composite. The matte lacewood and obeche are very nice, but I held the gloss obeche in daylight in NYC and White Plains - there is depth and color - warm colors - that come out. Much more so than the matte, to my eye, which seemed a little greyish. Fingerprints? Yes, but the trim is only on a few frequently touched surfaces - the console and area behind and around the cup holders. For me the wood brings a warmth and -yes - a connection to the past I can't wait to see change in the light and feel as I drive. I spoke with Elon about this and I am pretty sure that is why he chose the obeche gloss. Okay, so I made that up - gotcha. But he did choose obeche gloss.�
Aug 31, 2012
Schlermie It's a real shame what they did to the lacewood. I'm still getting it, but it used to be so cool in the original samples. I guess it was just too expensive to produce.�
Aug 31, 2012
Grendal This is one of the items that could easily become a choke point for production. The various interior panels (except piano black) are likely made by an outside vendor. If they can't keep up with Tesla's demand then the entire line comes to a halt awaiting those parts.
The same thing happened with the aerodynamic wheels. The vendor can't pull it off and then Tesla gets egg on their face.�
Sep 12, 2012
neroden I'm also a fan of wood interiors.
If I don't get to see them for myself, I may go with your recommendation here. You're, what, the third person who preferred glossy obeche to matte obeche despite not particularly wanting glossy. I have been having trouble deciding between the matte and glossy obeche.
(There is something I don't like about the lacewood pattern.) I hope I get a chance to see them.�
Sep 12, 2012
ModelS1079 Hope you have a chance to hold a sample of the woods. My opinion is just an opinion. However, the comment I made about the depth and colors revealed in the gloss is noticeable and others have commented the same, and the only question is then whether you want that. A tesla rep indicated he expected the gloss to b less scratch able which I found counterintuitive. Said the gloss is protected by the coating. Came up as I was concerned about stuff put on the console scratching, and the console is made from the same wood finish. I would not bank on his opinion though. you know, I have seen several of the finishes and they all step up to he plate and are great looking in this Sweet looking car. It's all a win win choice.�

wycolo Leather seats in the Roadster seem to be 1/4 inch thick and hard. Impervious to 5 month of dog use. Can the ModelS seats be so sturdy, or should I stick with the cloth that I ordered?
--�
Sep 21, 2012
Robert.Boston The Get Amped test cars were reportedly showing some wear on the leather upholstery, so I'd be concerned that extended use with dogs could take a toll. I'd be inclined to put a thick polarfleece blanket on my dog-designated seat, regardless.�
Sep 21, 2012
wycolo > I'd be inclined to put a thick polarfleece blanket on my dog-designated seat [Robert.Boston]
Thanx. So that's what that stuff is called. The keyword here is thick. Being a cattledog, she might like a coyote pelt tied to the passenger seat. You just don't get leather like the Roadster seats any more.

TheAustin Wow, thank you for posting...This totally confirms my decision to go with grey and NOT tan...I can't believe how bad the tan looks, especially with the other fabric color on the upper interior frame of the car, as well as with the Obeche matte (which I also selected).
�
Sep 25, 2012
slindell Just shows you that different folks like different things. I think the tan looks fantastic. The wonder of the Obeche is that it matches black, grey, tan and white interiors.�
Sep 26, 2012
ModelS1079 Blue. Tan. Gloss obiche. You can't beat that. Elon chose gloss obiche. Unless you just happen to like another combination more... So many great ways to go. Where will your Tesla find architectural,harmony?�
Sep 27, 2012
daripalli Any signs of the Tan leather interior and if there are going to be all weather floor mats?�
Sep 29, 2012
Dborn I will be going with the gloss Obeche. i am a big fan of wood. The great pity is that the lacewood has been stained. In it's natural state it is quite beautiful with a lacy texture and a reddish brown colour. Admittedly, over time, with real wood, even if coated with varnish, the red does go more brown but this only adds to the character. I have made lots of items with this wood. All the trim colours are Grey or black, and while they seem to go with all the available trim colours, a brown would have been good. As part of a wish list, something like birds eye maple also would be fantastic as also European Ash. Both the latter are very light pale yellow timbers which also will darken slightly with age, but look fantastic either way.�
Sep 30, 2012
artsci Visited the Tesla Store in DC today for another test drive. While I was there I shot some interior photos. Hope these are helpful.

Oct 1, 2012
ModelS1079 Looks a lot like my configuration - tan, obiche - which is great because I've never actually seen it in a car! Nothing like buying a car you've never driven in a configuration you've never seen. Oh, and I ordered blue metallic exterior, and no, I have never seen that either...
Thanks for the pics. Love the comments about wood a few posts above.�

chrissam42 I would love to see some shots of the seats from the people who have taken delivery. I've seen lots of exteriors, instrument clusters and 17" display shots, but most of the new owners don't seem to be pointing the camera down at the seats!�
Oct 2, 2012
kevincwelch I'm sure you've seen pics, but these were mine of the blue/tan at the DC store. Loved it.
�
Oct 2, 2012
JakeP Nice shots, KevinCWelch, they really capture the depth of the blue. Agreed, ModelS1079 is going to love the blue. I drove the blue/tan in Chicago and would have immediately opted for blue, if not for the fact that my BMW is Monaco blue, which is extremely similar.
�
Oct 2, 2012
daripalli Did anyof you guys see a MultiCoat Pearl White Performance Non Sig, with Tan/Carbon interior? Is the Carbon Trim a matte finish or gloss?�
Oct 2, 2012
JakeP The Oak Brook store in Chicago had a Pearl White static vehicle, it may have been a Beta...the paint is gorgeous. I can't recall what the interior trim was. The CF trim is very nice, not overly glossy but with a nice sheen in the pattern.�
Oct 2, 2012
xhawk101 Hmm blue is kindof nice
from my Samsung galaxy s3�
Oct 2, 2012
kevincwelch The static display at Oak Brook used to be a Sig red beta. I believe the white one at Oak Brook is a release candidate. It has tan leather and obeche (I think obeche). The VIN is R00109. These pictures I took were to primarily show the paint armor, which shows an obvious discoloration.
The test drive vehicle is a silver/grey model. I didn't look at the VIN when I drove it.�

Does the performance have smoked taillights? because i saw some pics and wasnt sure if they were smoked or the lighting made it look like that. because i would like to see if i could opt for no smoke.�
Oct 2, 2012
ModelS1079 Hard to say thanks with enough thanks. I just happened to check back to this thread. The blue is red hot and other colors pale by comparison and make many green with envy or breathlessly purple, and with no shade of gray there. I am back in black in Blue, indeed. Wow. Search "Will the real pacific blue"... In the forum and enjoy MattK's beautiful expos� of why It's Easy Being Blue.�
Oct 3, 2012
sublimaze1 This car (if it was the same one I was in at the Dallas Amp Tour) changed my mind on two fronts:
1) The blue was stunning. I did not have a color chosen at this point. When I left the property, I did.
2) The non-pano roof allowed me to understand what other tall people in the back felt like. I sat in the Brown Static Model in the lot (which had the pano roof) and had a bit more headroom in the back. So that sold me on the pano roof.
As an aside, Diana wanted the brown. She thought it was a cool chocolate color. I reminded her of her wardrobe - which is 87.4% brown - and that we can evaluate any outside factors that may skew one toward one color or another. We also discussed her desire to escape that extensive brown persona and move towards other colors in the closet region of our domicile. The eleven second stare gave me a stomach ache. We got blue.�

Oct 3, 2012
AnOutsider We know this is the INTERIOR shots thread right?�
Oct 3, 2012
kevincwelch I love that thread.
I am finding it to be a real challenge deciding between blue/tan and blue/black. Tan did make the car feel nice and open, but black leather gives the inside such a sleek look. I've never had a car with black leather, and there's something appealing about that. I envision the tan getting roughed up by the children with dirty shoes. Maybe I need to get over that.

Robert.Boston Remember that the "tan" interior is really "black and tan". Only the seating surface, portions of the side panel, top of the center console, and underside of the dash are tan. The carpet and back of the seats are black. So, just tell the kids to keep their feet on the floor, and you'll be fine.�

IlliniT Some of these pics are of the white leather interior offered only in the signature models. I'm not sure if this was pointed out.
The tan has more of a brownish hue to it. I was considering the Blue/Tan but just realized that I was basing this on the pics I've seen of the blue model with the WHITE interior. I'll probably go with grey now.�
Oct 23, 2012
Schlermie This thread doesn't have any pics of blue with white interior. That's not a valid combination.�
Oct 23, 2012
MikeK However, I think at least one of the blue demo cars was set up this way. It had Signature badging, too.�

Omer wish Tesla made the white interior available for non-signature cars. They are making the sig red available so why not the interior. For a futuristic car the white interior looks more fitting than the tan or grey. I would guess if the white were available as an option it would probably be #1 or #2 most popular (black being the other). I really hope they drop either the tan or grey and offer white.�
Nov 2, 2012
Jason S They are making sunset red available. Not signature red. The white isn't even a popular option for the Sig either, I'm seeing a lot of the black ones.�
Nov 2, 2012
brianman If I didn't think I'd ruin it in less than a month, I would have gotten the white. Instead I'm getting the black.
I also like the red piping much better than the piping that the white gets.�

Regular:
Nappa Leather $1,500
Hand-wrapped surfaces of soft supple Nappa leather. 12-way, power adjustable, heated seats.
Performance:
Nappa Leather STANDARD
Nappa leather seats with contrast piping and Alcantara bolsters. Extensive leather throughout. 12-way power adjustable, heated seats.�
Nov 12, 2012
tomanik I believe it is supposed to be vinyl, faux leather, in the general production interior.�
Nov 12, 2012
Oyvind.H Ok, so it will hopefully look similar to the Signature dash? I really like the look of the dash, and would hate if I had to settle with something plastic-looking stuff. Getting the leather pack anyway, but hope dash and doors look leather-covered as well as the seats.�
Nov 13, 2012
artsci Are we sure the Signature dash is covered in leather? I have doubts -- it's not a good material for the kind of constant exposure to the sun that a dash top receives and thus would not hold up well.�
Nov 13, 2012
Oyvind.H Well, no. I just assumed it was leather. Thought I read it somewhere, but as you point out, other fabrics are better. The most important for me is still that the dash and doors look leather-coated. It gives the interior a luxury feeling�
Nov 15, 2012
MikeK The biggest difference I've noticed is that the entire headliner in the Performance cars is Alcantara.�
Nov 15, 2012
Twiddler I have been told by multiple store employees that all headliners will be alcanatra (including my P60) - is this not the case?�
Nov 15, 2012
shokunin Production headliner was supposedly microfiber.. I think it was neroden who was commenting on the different headliner materials.�
Nov 15, 2012
felixtb as far as I know. alcantara is a brand and their product is the worlds best known automotive finishings microfiber..........but just the same a microfiber. and the name has become synonymous with the product kind of like a xerox copy...........�
Nov 15, 2012
MikeK I have definitely seen two different headliner materials in the demo cars, and I have on one of my videos from the Palo Alto event a brief snippet of a Tesla person demonstrating the difference to another customer.
However, perhaps things have changed, and they are all Alcantara now. I'd be delighted if so -- the headliner in my friend's Sig Performance was very nice.

Nov 17, 2012
bosgig Does anyone know whether cleaning the Alcantara will be a problem, particularly with the tan interior? Sorry, showing some ignorance here, but it seems like it would stain easily relative to leather. I may have that totally backwards since it's a microfiber.?.?�
Nov 17, 2012
jerry33 The Alcantara upholstery in my 2004 Prius have no stains after 140,000+ miles and I haven't been particularly careful. It's the leather that will have the problem (and unfortunately, you're forced into leather to get heated seating--someone screwed up big-time there).�
Nov 20, 2012
ModelS1079 This is not only very true, but also a key point. The test car at White Plains is Blue with Tan interior and I was impressed - happily so - by the black accents supporting the tan - or are they tan accents on black? In any case, it looks more fast and much less Chevy than I feared when I ordered tan. I want the warmth of tan, but the sleekness of black. I do have many pics of this and will try and upload.�
