I live in Virginia.

I have had black interiors....but no more.

PLUS, at least with the R1T, the roof is all glass with NO sunshade. Some owners have noticed their R1Ts get toasty sitting in the sun. Is the R1S a glass panoramic roof? With no sun shade?

FE would be better than BM. I hope they get the Ocean Coast going by the fall, as promised. I would like the Ocean Coast mostly because of the heat factor.

Yeah, R1S is panoramic all glass. I've seen posts talking of having it aftermarket tinted to avoid sun.

OC makes me think dirty/stained over the long term. If you've ever seen the blue jean stains on white leather, that's my thinking.

I'd like to see the FE in person since green really isn't my thing, but the heat issue has me thinking hard. Why didn't they do a gray option to go with El Cap and LA Silver.

I have had grey leather with 2 cars in the past. That worked well.

PS I have also had two (BMWs) with Oyster leather and never got blue jean stains...or dirty for that matter.

OC is the gray option. Perhaps not as dark as you would like.

Black is really dark Gray. Green seem to be greenish gray. And I have a feeling OC is very light gray. I don't believe any of them are an extreme case. I have to note, I have only seen black in person and it was not black at all.

Fair enough. I guess that's like the people who say LA silver is "light gray" vs El Cap being "dark gray".:D

decided to go for the matte wrap and put some tint on the windows, which really blocks the heat. pretty happy with the results.

The matte definitely grabs my vibe. It adds sophistication in my book.

I need to see ElCap with matte next to Limestone with matte to see which one is grabbing me more (don't call me an Elcap traitor, I'm just wondering).

Matte looks like an excellent choice for El Cap. Beautiful truck. The matte finish seems to highlight its lines and character.

I have Xpel Stealth on my 2021 Model S (Solid Black). Easier to maintain, lots of compliments, hides dust and dirt.

Correct. Black Mountain is really grey, not black.

right about 8k after tax for the matte PPF of all the el cap color, clear for the black/lights, and tint for the windows (not sure what the tint kind was, but they sold me on the demonstration of how much heat was blocked so I went highest end there)

Nice, and thank you. That sounds like almost exactly what I was thinking lol. Only difference is I’m considering tinting the light bar across the front black as well.
