Recently, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the standard paint for Tesla vehicles in the US, which is currently a multi-coat pearl white, may be updated to other colors. He hinted that a certain paint color he loves might make a comeback.
On October 3rd, FSD Beta tester @28delayslater tweeted that “white Model 3 and Model Y vehicles dominate the road,” and asked Elon if he could bring back the discontinued silver paint. Elon replied, “Good idea, will discuss with team.”
Since June 2019, Tesla in the US has offered a multi-coat pearl white paint as the standard free option. As Model 3 and Model Y sales have increased, white Teslas have become more prevalent on the roads.
Adding a new free paint option increases consumer choice, and with the start of the fourth quarter, the change in paint may pique the interest of potential buyers and could help Tesla’s sales in the last quarter of this year. However, it is unknown when the silver paint will be available in China, and we can look forward to news from the Shanghai Gigafactory in the future.
