I’m about to flip my crayon exterior / crayon interior for Bordeaux. Any pictures where both paint and interior are showing welcome!
Congrats it looks amazing. New summer wheels planned at all?

i went with 35% front and back!

Here is another angle and one in the showroom.

I’ve said this in other threads before but it’s appropriate to say it here again - but these stock “free” 20” wheels for the GTS look awesome! (Yes, I know I’m in the minority for thinking this). These pics further justify my decision to stick with them. They especially look great with crayon/chalk exterior, which I’ve also chosen. They are certainly not as sporty or aggressively styled as the 21” options but in my view these 20” are more distinctive and still retain a classy look with unique electric car chic, which none of the 21” offer, aside from the mission-E. A bonus attribute of the free 20s is its higher resistance to damage against potholes and poor roads. I just got a tire bubble in one of my GT3’s tires from smashing over a deep one so 21” on a 5k lb car is just inviting more of that.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing the pics and congrats on that beautiful GTS. Nicely spec’d and the only thing I can’t agree on are the “electric“ badges on front doors, which is forgivable since it’s a free option that can easily be removed later anyway.

I agree with everything you said except the last part ;)

it is a lovely sight with the “electric” badge while charging:

Thanks - it looks quite vivid in places but probably due to sunshine
The combo definitely works!

Not a fan of the "electric" badge.

It's kind of like buying a t-shirt, then ironing an adhesive badge onto the front of it, with the word "T-shirt".

... We get it, it's a t-shirt...

The color Bordeaux red is quite rich and saturated. I am very happy with it. The rendering on the configurator is a bit greyish.

Can you pay it forward with a few pics of your interior and exterior both showing too? I'm still deciding on Race Tex vs Crayon/Black Leather interior.

I’d love to but I meant I have a crayon/crayon on order and thought I’d flip to crayon/red!
Although a few people here have been very helpful helping me to gather crayon/crayon pics, see below a few
