Hi All! I currently have an order in for a white on white LR model Y. I went with a white exterior because it shines when it’s clean and it was free. I read that because the white reflects the heat, it helps the car stay cooler and may have a positive impact on range. However, I’ve always owned white or gray cars, so trying to decide if that’s the route I really want to go again. I’m really thinking about switching to the red color. Would a color change really have an impact on keeping the car cool and range? Not overly concerned about losing a couple of miles of range, but I do want to make sure the car stays cool in the hot Florida sun. FYI, it will be garage kept, so the only time it would be out in the sun is when I went somewhere. Also I know Tesla has had some paint quality issues in the past. Are certain colors better than others?
I know this may seem like a silly question and I imagine I will get a lot of “just get what you want”. However, this is a big purchase for me so I want to make sure I make the best decision overall (don’t lose comfort for a 100% aesthetic choice).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
