Terra - leather interior (beige or black)
Halo - brown with blue stitching interior. This was the premium interior before Pure Impulse.
All of the initial European press and customer brochures were printed with these three interiors. Likewise, the press cars in the US, which were built in April and May, were built with Terra or Halo interiors. That's why you see these cars on the street.
The Pebble Beach car was produced with a modified Halo interior - brown with i8 headrests, brakes, etc. it's a one of a kind interior that matches very well with the frozen gray exterior.

Mega is the base leather/cloth interior in the US, but you can't order one this way yet
Giga in the US is full leather in either Black or White...but again, you can't order it yet
I think they only opened up Tera after the Pure Impulse shortage. I'd be willing to bet they weren't going to offer it until later but the shortage forced a change in plan.
The profit margin on the Pure Impulse package has to be way higher than the others and they wanted to have a unique package only available in early builds for posterity.
All that said, the grey looks fine, I just prefer black.
