Anyone with Deep Blue M3?

[NastyNick83]

Hovering over the button to order an M3P in deep blue but can't see many pictures of them (other than the Tesla website of course).

Is there a reason why many aren't ordering the colour? Is is a new colour?

Anyone want to share pictures of their M3? Icing on the cake with the grey performance wheels?

Hey Nick - how about a video? Tesla Model 3 Performance Will Smoke Your Sports Car: Video Review

have dropped you a PM too. Blue isn't a new colour, I think white and black are popular colours.

Also there is a nice graphic with all the colours here, click the images to expand: What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

I have ordered one, but not got it yet.

Its quite a dark blue but looks really good in the sunshine. It's a bit like Scuba Blue on an Audi if you know Audi colours.

There were a couple on inventory if you want a car without the wait.

I assume black and white are popular as black was once a free colour and now white is the free colour?

That's what's triggered my interest

From that pic it looks lots deeper blue than Tesla website pictures. Almost navy in that light?

It's more of a dark Deep Blue, PPSB (colour code)- in the dark will almost look black. The Tesla website makes it look lighter than it is and in UK normal conditions will look darker anyway, though in the sun it will pop a bit due to the metallic paint

Most popular colour at work, I think. 2 blue, 1 white, one black seems to be the current count.

In different lights it seems a different shade (as do all cars I suppose) - but its classy in any light though and that's why I like it. It doesn't show the dirt too much if not cleaned. Looks stunning when washed and polished. I am glad that I chose it.

Here's a thread with pics. Lighting and camera can make a big difference in apparent color.

I have a blue M3 with silver wheels. Everyone who comments says they think the blue is the best colour, even other grey Tesla owners. In my opinion, the dark grey 18" aero wheels (which I have for winter tires) does not look as good. Blue and silver is a great combo.

Tricky colour to describe. Darker than you possibly expect. Certainly non of those US picks are particularly representative in autumn UK lighting.

I think closest colour that I have seen is a Mercedes.

I recently posted a dirty view in Ceramic Coating Advice which I think is very representative of its colour this time of year in UK light.

now white is the free colour?

yup it's free but used to be one of Tesla premium colours as it was pearl white metallic so same price as multi coat red

I almost went for the blue, but it's not dissimiler to a previous BMW I had in Deep Sea Blue. That looked fantastic when it was clean and the sun was out, but in typical UK winter conditions when the car is dirty, it just looked drab.

So, I was then dithering between red and white. Red is superb, but at an extra £2k, the white was a no-brainer. It's hard to keep clean in the winter too of course, but OTOH it's easy to give it a quick clean since there's no real need to wipe it dry - white doesn't show drying marks.
