Do you regret your color choice?

Thank you! I used the OttoSteer kit. It wasn’t cheap but makes for a nice factory look without sticking anything to the painted bumper. I’m quite happy.

Super happy with my Pearl white multi-coat. Wasn't sure how I would feel about it since I had never had a white car before. Thought it would look dirty all the time (doesn't), that I'd get bored since it "wasn't a real color" (not bored still love it with the little sparkle to it). It's easier to spot on the road at night without street lights even probably from cars with tinted windows. It's been a nice change of pace. Have mine with black interior and like the two tone look of the car with the little blink of the chrome handles and silver wheels. It's funny that the black interior use to be all over but now here in the SF Bay area I think I see more cars with white interior...the new black!

Deep Blue Metallic never looks clean. Literally the day after I wash it there's dust, dirt or water spots from rain. Never again.
My red cars never looked dirty until they actually needed a wash. Not the next day.

I got silver and love it. And now thats its discontinued I know mine is rare now which is neat.
Tesla M3 white seats are really nice. They are well made. I live in AZ but I didn’t get them because of the heat...I got them cause they look great. I don’t anticipate any problems. Just a wipe with a treated cloth once in a while.
I kind of regret getting blue a little bit... but only because I sort of wish I was walking over to a red Model 3 a lot of the time. BUT, then the sun catches the blue just right and I absolutely know it was the correct choice.
To me both blue & red are some of the best colors I’ve seen offered and also some rather disappointing ones. I always wish the blue was a bit more vibrant unless it’s between like 3 and 5pm and it’s catching the softer but still bright light. The red a lot of times almost looks too flat and “blown out” or over exposed. Maybe it needs some more metal flake to make it sparkle or glow in direct mid day sun? At other times it’s this liquid rich red color...
I see pictures here of the MSM that look better then the best of the blue or the red, but those are far and few between. 95% of the time MSM looks way too dark in my book and almost towards a black color...
The white interior on the other hand I’m constantly happy with!

And you’re specifically the one that has posted some amazing pictures... but a YouTube/google search shows most of the pictures don’t look near as good...
Honestly the one you posted isn’t the stellar one... do you have one from an above angle?

Yeah, those are from my drone and they are on my laptop, not my phone (which I have in hand now). I think four coats of ceramic make all the difference with MSM.

I used CarPro cQuartz original, not UK. I bought the 30ml bottle on Amazon for $50 and got four coats out of it, and I also did the roof glass. Great deal, great result. I also spray BeadMaker on it from time to time for extra slickness. Takes less than five minutes for that.
I got MSM and I'm happy with it. It's forgiving for when I'm lazy and don't want to wash the dust off the car but looks nice after a wash and wax.

Got MSM and regret not getting Silver....oh wait, silver wasn't available any longer when I bought 
I usually hate white cars but for some reason find white very appealing on all Teslas. If I had the current choices and were to do it again I may consider white instead of MSM.

Ugh!! I want to order my 1st M3 but can't decide on the paint color. Either white with black interior or black with black interior. I'm afraid the white would look too boring? What do you guys think? FYI, I'd get the 18" rims but take the frisbee's off.
I regret my color choice every time I see another model 3. Then I look back and mine and remember I made the right choice, but then I look at another car and... but MSM is my favorite overall so I am happy.
White with black chrome delete looks really good, especially with darker tint.
White is much easier to care for and looks great on the M3! This is coming from a guy who always has black or charcoal colored cars.
