Has red color changed over the years?

[KennyGinAZ]

Hello all!

I'm new to the site and looking for some help.

I saw a red 3 on the road today and it looked a lot more "maroonish" than the red I see everywhere else online. Is it possible it was an older 3 that had another version of red?

Thanks!

It changes with every photograph & every different lighting condition you see it under.

PS There was a Signature Red many years ago, but it'd need to be a 3rd party apply that aftermarket on a Model 3 as the only vehicles that had it factory were very low VIN Model S.

As a red Model 3 owner, I don't see it as a maroonish color... That would be more towards purple-ish if you ask me. It might be wrapped or repainted to another color.

The red has been consistent as far as I know.

the signature model S had a different red.

there are people that wrap them.

The light really impacts the color. Some days it looks bright red and some days it looks more maroon.

The red OEM paint hasn't changed since there was never a red paint chip repair kit update. The one you saw could have had different lighting or be wrapped in a maroonish red.

I have found that my red M3 looks a bit “brighter” when it is freshly washed. Perhaps people with newer Tesla’s tend to watch them more? Personally, I have opti-coat pro and was nearly every week.
