Please welcome my 24 760!!!

I picked it up a few days ago and what a beauty. I made an order but this was on the lot and loved the rims as it has the 21 inch aero wheels. Also the rear seat executive package (useless to me but my kids enjoyed the massage), b&w upgrade, and basically everything except the theater.

I’m still lost on how to use everything, I have an appointment with the genius tomorrow to guide me through it.

I do find it strange that there is no sport or comfort modes, just “my modes” but no way to customize the colors or what is displayed on the dash board. I don’t want to post a bunch of questions until I sit with the genius.

I’ll also update pics after getting the windows tinted. I think I’m going to go dark as possible.

What a BEAUTY!! Of course all these variously configured 7s are. That dark inner trim with that leather seat color is sharp as a pin, maybe the classiest and stylish I've ever seen, I mean you and/or Dean Martin in a tuxedo ONLY sharp! What a first impression! Are the seats the Amarone or Mocha (I'm slightly color blind)? Also, what is that color choice on the doors -- it appears to be a single-color dark blue -- what is it exactly?! I just ordered the EV variant i7 myself -- it goes into production next month. In any event, CONGRATULATIONS, I'm jealous of course!

Enjoy it. Looks like mine except for the wheels. Wish I could go bigger but in NY with roads like minefields, i wouldn't go past 20.
Where is Fl are you? Will be there in Jan-Mar.

It’s actually black leather. I wasn’t a fan of black on black but this car IMO looks best in black. The leather on my order was the mocha but this was on the lot and thought the black leather was timeless and looked beautiful.

There is no blue and I don’t see blue at all but you’re not the first to say it looks blue.

Thanks, I’m super excited about it, it’s been a joy to drive so far!

I’m in Wellington which is close to west palm beach.

I was hesitant about the 21 inch wheels as I know that means a stiffer ride and in general more tire maintenance but I couldn’t resist! And they look super cool. Plus they are not run flats which I prefer. I’ve had so much trouble with run flats in the past. 21 inch wheels with run flats means a lot less air in the tires which will further cause a stiffer ride. I plan to rack up a bunch of miles on this beauty so the less maintenance the better.

OK, I gotcha -- thanks! The light on your front seat gave what I thought were dark brown or mocha accents but I understand now it's all black inside. What stands out as really nice as opposed to my Amarone build, is that your single color dark doors look more dignified than my 2-tone Amarone/black doors. I'm going to keep that build however because I prefer that extra character to the seats. I would then say that while your cockpit look is definitely classically outstanding, mine looks sophisticatedly modern. Either is A+!! :-)
