I think it's a very attractive color; don't know why Tesla dropped it as an option.

I figured Tesla had completed most of its beta testing, and looked like it was going to be stable enough to be around for a few years.

I like not having to gas up, and I take a book along for some quality reading time when I hit the (free) superchargers to juice up.

Audi, BMW, Porsche, and MB see the writing on the wall and getting their electric car developments going. They'll need to have something to compete with Tesla's promised Model 3 in 2018, if it comes out anywhere near the $35k price point Elon is shooting for.
