I would totally pay extra for that, especially if some of the proceeds went to SpaceX funding.
@brianman,
I think your on to something! Elon should have called it ‘MARS RED’ instead of MultiCoatRed!

Op already he owns a Model 3. Crying the whole time about how Elon forced him to wait in line. Forced him to confirm the order and forced him to sign the paperwork.
I bet he’s still resentful the Model 3 is not a literal spaceship and read too much into Elon’s tweeting.
Don't tell anyone, but I think "Mars" would make an awesome wrap theme.I think your on to something! Elon should have called it ‘MARS RED’ instead of MultiCoatRed!

My guess would be that some costs are higher than expected, and they are looking for a little more revenue on average per car. They could of raised the cost of the car to $35.5K or $36K and kept paint as is... but even a $500 increase on the SR would of left an opening for a flood of “Tesla $35K Model 3 Dream Crashes.”
fwiw, as to higher than expected costs, I have in mind the amount of money on making corrections to cars after delivery and what the cost of transporting/storing 5K cars per week has turned out to be.
$2k? Where the hell are they importing that red paint from, Mars?
It's called supply and demand. Tesla can do whatever it wants as long as orders exceed output capacity. Perhaps you should stand in front of the Fremont factory with a protest sign, Norma Rae. Or better yet, don't order the car.See the latest trick Tesla is pulling? They doubled the price of Pearl White or Multi Coat Red paint to $2000 instead of $1000. And the other colors aside from basic ugly black are now $1500 instead of $1000.
Someone tell me how this can be justified, how this is anything other then a greedy company putting profits ahead of giving its customers a fair deal.
Tesla is doing this same price trick across the S, X, and 3 lines. I guess they figure they can pull in lots of extra money this way, and anyone who doesn't like basic black pays for their GREED.

Pretty much that. Tesla's profitability statements were fairly bold and they absolutely must nail them to solidify credibility and the viability of the company in the eyes of many. If they needed a slightly higher ASP to do it for whatever reason, then their choices were either to increase base prices or increase option prices and I agree that targeting the options prices was a better choice. People have this weird idea that what Tesla charges for paint is somehow linked to the cost of paint or painting the car, similar to the obsession with differences in AWD vs. base Performance 3 hardware...My guess would be that some costs are higher than expected, and they are looking for a little more revenue on average per car.

I’m not a fan of how the paint increase will feel to long time reservation holders for whom the SR is a stretch, but, hopefully by January or so when they start configuring, this increase can be unwound.
