Roanoke appears to have a bunch on the way as well.

[SmoknTires]

Yep, Roanoke ordered 10.

That's where I ordered mine....Alex, you didn't order yours from Roanoke, did you? What # do you have? I'm 10.

[SmoknTires]

Yep, I did. But I don't know the #. As you might imagine it's been busy and I never really asked John - though our agreement was that I wouldn't mind #1.. ;.) I just want it soon. Can't look at these pictures any longer.

What color did you get - O?

[Synergy]

What other color is the TA offered in other than orange?

They actually look mostly leather, just the inserts are ballistic nylon. I actually like the way they look, better than the $3000 leather upgrade I put into my '13 SRT.

Where is the cup holder?

Actually the cars were not orderable . Roanoke did a good job in 2013 and so did we at Woodhouse, so each store was allocated a generous number of TAs. The good news is there were strong overall sales in Canada and it sure appears they are going to get their fair share of Orange, White, and Black TAs. Just letting our friends up North know, as Chrysler is the #1 car brand in the provinces and folks at SRT have noticed the enthusiasm and demand.

Hi Bill! A quick question, if TA's were not "orderable" will they all come equipped the same way (less color) or will they be with various equipment? Thanks, Dan

When you order a t/a, there actually aren't any options allowed at all (outside of what comes on it). The t/a is actually an option itself, added to the SRT model. However it's a perfect blend of a lot of options for people who want to track their car or simply look cool (and orange is only available on t/a model). The only option I wish I could add is the 18 speaker audio, but not the end of the world. But yes, no options available on the t/a.

In regard to cloth seats, I was talking to the SRT guys a couple weeks ago and they said it was done for a few reasons. It's more durable, grippy, and actually saves money over leather. It's only the insert that is cloth (they had a name for it, I forget), the rest of the seat is standard leather. They also wanted it to be different than the other cars, in addition to using orange stitching.

There is a killer document on the t/a that explains all the things that changed on the 2014 models and what is included in the t/a specifically, I need to put it on the Web so I can link it here. I'll dig it up and will share it.
