Sadly, your last sentence supposes that many or most people "in the sunbelt" have a basic knowledge of physics and energy.I'm not arguing that the metal temperature difference will be insignificant. I'm saying that I have two different color Teslas: one black, one white. In the interior we don't notice a significant difference; HVAC takes care of that. Since we no longer ride on the exterior panels since moving to FL their temperature difference is irrelevant.
Scientifically, I would guess most things said are true: takes more energy to cool, etc. Don't care. The X uses more power than the S but that doesn't stop people from buying which car they want. I say the same holds for color other wise every car in the sunbelt would be white.
You would be very sadly mistaken; the overall level of both intelligence and education in this country is mind-blowingly low . . . but it does explain a lot of things.
