Overseas netizens have discovered from the Tesla App code that the Berlin factory may produce three new colors for the Model Y, which are:
- Multi-coat deep red
- Multi-coat blue
- Metallic silver
The following image is the real shot of the previously exposed new red color of the Berlin factory.
Some netizens have also produced a rendering of the new painted Model Y.
Moreover, a netizen on Instagram happened to have his own Model 3 repainted with a multi-coated maroon color by a third party.
If this leaked information is true, then the silver color that has long been absent from Tesla models will finally return. This color should have been the most sci-fi color for the Model 3, but it was cut off by Tesla due to production difficulties in pursuit of efficiency. Only a few imported versions in China have the original factory silver color.
The color update was foreshadowed by the news that the Berlin factory’s paint line uses a brand new technology just like the body manufacturing, which Musk said is currently the most advanced automotive paint line.
Therefore, the new colors may not necessarily be available on the Tesla Shanghai factory in the short term due to the hardware differences at the factory level.
