After my test drive today, I took some time to really examine the (few) interior and exterior color options again for my own order.
Biggest disappointment is that I haven't seen how the black really looks in person on this size and shape of vehicle. I've been leaning towards Black (at least until they get around to adding a Zenith Red which they'll undoubtedly do at some point).
Exterior Colors: Well, can't offer much comparison info here because both test drive vehicles AND the new showroom production sample were all Aurora Green.
So it's the only color I've now seen in person. Wasn't super excited by it based on the web configurator nor the little sample color model thingy in showrooms... but after seeing it, it is definitely more attractive in person than I expected, as @borski has been saying. It's now high on my list, possibly first.
Interior colors: Made some big (and highly subjective) conclusions today. The Tahoe is better than expected, definitely seems more "baseball mitt" color and doesn't come off as "orange"... and I'm now considering that choice. So Tahoe is moving up in my book...
... and wow, I learned I really really don't like the Yosemite interior. Obviously we all have different tastes, but immediately felt a strong aversion to this one when I saw and drove it in person. It's like a very light whitish gray, and even in this test car with just a couple hundred miles of journalist use, was already looking dirty to me. I didn't mind the Tesla white interiors, but somehow this one doesn't look as good to me...
^^^ this is shot outside under natural light / cloudy skies, so should be a good impression of the color.
The one below is not in ideal conditions, it's in the underground garage under fluourescent lights, so probably not as good a representation:
BUT, the color I REALLY REALLY want to see is Ojai leather. On the web configurator, it's by far my favorite... kind of a pewter-meets-taupe color I think. That one is probably the one I'm going to go for, and am so disappointed it's not offered on the Dream Edition. So now I'm faced with a "second-choice" Yosemite on a DE or waiting on a GT to get Ojai and my other chosen options. hmmm...
