Exterior color poll - what have you decided?

[Moderatefan]

I believe a lot of people were postponing the decision till the last minute, so maybe we can now see if dreams meet reality.

I myself still have a hard time. The only thing I decided for sure is I want aero wheels for more range.

Then looking at the pictures, I think Midnight Silver and Deep Blue somehow look better with aeros. Some of my other possibly incorrect assumptions are:
- black is hot in summer and shows dirt
- red is too flashy
- white/silver are too basic/generic.
I've seen Midnight Silver in our Tesla Store on S/X and it does not look sharp. I was thinking Blue for a while, until this picture came up:

Now I'm not totally happy with any choice...Maybe I need to find pics of dirty M3s for all colors to be fair.
What have you decided?

Ordered with midnight silver. It's the color I dislike the least out of Tesla's current rather bland palette. When I was getting the oil changed for the last time (at least with me as owner) on my current car today, I saw this Cadillac and was insanely jealous of the shade of blue:



If Tesla offered a blue anywhere near that intense, I'd have not only taken that, but even paid a few hundred bucks more for it if needed.

My thoughts on all the colors:

Black - Never again, unless I have a personal assistant who has to keep it clean as part of his or her job.
Silver - Boring. May as well be beige, just screams "I GAVE UP"
White - Looks OK but the sensors and tow hook cover stand out like zits on a supermodel.
Red - Actually looks really good, especially with the 19s. But it's not "me".
Blue - Too dark of a shade.
Midnight Silver - "Eh. It'll do, I guess".

Forest Green, of course.

Was going to order pearl white to match my wife’s x , but then saw my neighbors red 3
And ordered that instead.

Blue. Doesn't look to dark from here.

Looks fine in direct light. Way too dark otherwise. Compare against my pic and note it was raining lightly, the Tesla blue would not look anywhere close in those conditions.

All just my opinion of course.

For reference....here is another poll from reddit:
[StrawPoll] Which color are you guys going to choose for the Model 3? • r/teslamotors
Which Tesla Model 3 color options.

Looks like silver metallic is the least favorite color...and blue is the most favored.

Thanks for responses and link to another poll. Would be interesting to see though if "going to pick" color aligns with the one actually ordered due to some overwhelming consideration that pops up at the last moment

Pearl White Multi Coat if I can only get a black interior. Deep Blue Metallic if a white interior (with hopefully a black headliner) becomes available!

 

[AlanSqB]

I can’t even vote. It would just end up being a lie. I’m going to pick the same way I order dinner at a restaurant: pick the one that catches my eye right as I’m being asked, order that and don’t look back.

 

[vinnie97]

Blue wins. I'm not following the crowd though, I've wanted a blue hue since day 1.

That's rather close to the blue on our Kia. We are leaning towards blue, but we'd really like to see it IRL first.

I’m glad blue is the most popular, because it’s my least favorite. I think it’s because I’m soulless, and I’ve given up.

Does car color match the soul color? That'd be an interesting correlation to research.

Can't be. My ex referred to me as, and I quote, "that black-souled son of a b-" and only 40% of my cars have been black.

 

[Dave B]

It's always been multi-coat red for me. Never considered another color.

My girlfriend knows it's because I'm an Ottawa Senators fan (my home town team), and it also works well in Atlanta because they'll guess I'm a Bulldogs or Falcons fan.

Planning to get black to save some money, but saw a white one yesterday and it looked awesome!

What have you decided?

Get the solid black and save yourself $1000 and wrap your M3 the color you like

I did think about doing this so I could get a color I actually want, but the quotes I got for full body wraps were preposterously high ($5k+) and I threw that idea away.

Wouldn't a good wrap cost just as much?
