On the Giga Fest event held on October 9th at the Berlin Gigafactory, Tesla showcased a range of new technologies, including a Model Y with 4680 battery pack, a new integrated battery module, and a single-piece cast body. However, it wasn’t just new technologies that Tesla brought to this “Hogwarts castle”-like factory; the new paint color of the Model Y was also revealed on the production line.
According to Alex Voigt, a Twitter user who participated in the Giga Fest event and took pictures, a new deep red paint color will be applied to the Model Y produced in Germany.
As early as April 2020, when the Berlin factory had just begun construction, Elon said, “The Berlin Gigafactory will have the world’s most advanced paint shop with color-changing paint that will change with curvature and light.”
The paint color that was exposed at the Berlin factory this time is very similar to the paint color of the Model S seen at the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California in July 2020, and Elon also revealed on Twitter at the time that he “loves the deep red paint from the Berlin Gigafactory.” We speculate that this new deep red Model Y and the Model S previously photographed are both from the paint shop at the Berlin Gigafactory.
In addition, Alex Voigt also revealed on Twitter that there will be a new blue paint color. However, since the Tesla Model S/3/X/Y already has a blue paint color option, we can look forward to seeing how this “new blue paint color” differs from the existing blue paint color.
