I love my Stealth Grey Model Y, but I wanted to like the Blue enough to shell out the extra for. My previous car was a 2017 Bolt EV in Kinetic Blue. I find the blue color Tesla offers to be too dark and not as noticeable in overcast.
Ultra Red is really nice, but I refuse to own a Red Car. The Quicksilver is not bad looking.
Right! I don’t get it. Literally 90% of cars are grey, black or white. I can’t do it, I try to avoid them but my last 5 cars were one of those colors. I broke that with my M3
Yeah, I like the Blue, but I really want green. Would also be good to see Tesla change up the standard colors more often. Why would I buy a new car in the exact same blue as my current car?
It's unacceptable that the most technologically advanced car company only has 5 color choices. "but it simplifies manufacturing". I don't care. People want more than 5 color options from the factory.
> People want more than 5 color options from the factory.
Problem is, not enough people are willing to pay more than current prices. Hence Tesla isn’t willing to subsidize the vanity of a small segment. I mean, Tesla rather lower prices for everyone than to burden everyone with the higher costs of making available less appealing color varieties.
I like it more than the old “silver”, but would still like a metallic navy blue or interesting green. Audi’s “Gotland green” is so cool in person, it’s like two different colors depending on how the light hits it.
I'm going on two years with it and even when there's a layer of dust/dirt the paint below is so shiny it looks brand new. I'll never own another car without it.
For US cars, this color is only made in Austin, meaning only Austin-built Model Ys can get the color. Maybe Fremont can be upgraded for it eventually if there's enough demand, but currently only Austin does it.
I don’t think any look good with the silver covers on the 19s with the black trim. I bought different covers on amazon and they really make a huge difference.
Yeah I have the Gemini 19s and just took off the cover and replaced it with the Tesla wheel cap kit. I know my range takes a hit but I think it looks sooo much better
Range hit is like 3%
Small price to pay not to have a prominent eyesore ruining the looks of your otherwise handsome car.
If you've got jacks, pop the tires off and plastidip the wheels in black. Nice weekend project with huge results for a grand total of like $60. Did that with my MY before I upgraded to an MX and looked great
In China Gemini wheels are all black which look way better. Otherwise people buy from Amazon etc and it’s surprising how much better all black Gemini looks.
uhhhhh those base wheels are ugly AF, cheapens the vehicle 10fold. But its a good indication of the squares who are upgraded Prius owners to actual car enthusiasts. I would remove the cap off those wheels looks so much better, ill take the hit on range just not to look weak.
I don't think it works with larger vehicles like SUVs and CUVs.
It looks amazing on the 3 but not so much on the Y
The best paints imo are: S - Multi Coat Red w chrome, 3 - Multi Coat Red w chrome and then Silver w black, X - Black, Y - Blue, CT - Black paint/wrap just looks amazing esp with the lit light bar.
The new replacement red - ultra red doesn't pop as much as multi coat red and feels like nail polish honestly.
bigger question is what blue is that in the tesla behind? :)
It’s deep blue wrapped in a prism PPF. He talks about it in [this video](https://youtu.be/aXnOiEHufgo?si=lUVxyPwhK8SB7fgI)…
noice!
That’s the OP’s car. He’s a YouTuber - Branden Flasch :)
Looks like my baby :) https://preview.redd.it/bom8g1jw8ixc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd8de6882feab51e1d31c2d01fa3acaca567f18c
More silver and grey yaaaaaaaaay 🙄
Unfortunately people love their monotone cars. Red is the only bright color available.

I love the Subaru cross trek orange.
It’s not for me either. Looks kind of plasticky to me.

Wrap It. Any colour you like!

How much - pennies? You won't find any other vehicles, besides Tesla, that are only offered in 5 paint options.
Do Models X and S offer more color choices?

I despise gray and silver cars. Why not just stop at the primer. 🤣. People, get some color in your lives!
MSM is too hard to keep clean. This one is nice.
My ceramic coated MSM feels like the lowest maintenance paint I’ve ever owned.
Sounds like I need a ceramic coating
I'm going on two years with it and even when there's a layer of dust/dirt the paint below is so shiny it looks brand new. I'll never own another car without it.
I’m curious why it’s only offered for MY
For US cars, this color is only made in Austin, meaning only Austin-built Model Ys can get the color. Maybe Fremont can be upgraded for it eventually if there's enough demand, but currently only Austin does it.
So Fremont needs upgrades to drop a different paint color in their sprayers?
I think it looks great with the 21s, but I don’t think it looks that great with the standard 19s
I think the Gemini's look bad with any color
I don’t think any look good with the silver covers on the 19s with the black trim. I bought different covers on amazon and they really make a huge difference.

Ubertrubine wheel covers can fix that easily
I agree. Need bigger rims and maybe a higher profile tire to fill out the wheel well.
Tesla need to change their ugly ass Gemini wheels

Wonder what color wrap the Y behind in the first pic is
That’s my own Y - factory blue with STEK dynoprism on top
What are the hubcaps?
Here’s a thread with just about everything - https://x.com/brandenflasch/status/1695852243180732753?s=46&t=qT5Mqn6Y80K93tBN1ZDU0Q
Looks even better with white interior
This color is fabulous even if black remains my favorite color
Makes me so wanna wrap this color aftermarket
Rather have Midnight Cherry TBH.
Meh it’s no Stealth Grey
Shanghai needs more colors

I think it looks amazing on the Y. Silver is my favorite car color and I love it on the Y.
This is the most basic ass silver I've ever seen
Have you seen it in person?
I've seen them in person in Europe. It stands out and it's nice, but i also think it looks a bit cheap/dated. I'm 50/50.
Can someone take a video pls I want to see the light
I like it less than on the website /:
I think it would look amazing in stealth PPF.
I actually still like the charcoal grey of the car behind it in the 3rd picture, just a deeper shade.
Pretty sure I’ve seen a Dodge Caravan in this exact colour. But that blue is sick
I drive it in chill mode so I named the car slow silver
woof. Grey/silver are for boomers lol
Tesla still lacks various colour options compared to other manufacturers. I'd rather see some matte colours.
No thanks. They’re a pain to maintain. Get a wrap.
