We chose white due to how hot it gets here in the sun during summer. Nothing to do with looks. Never had those tar spots you refer to.

There are some neat decal kits that make the front grill area look less like a Volkswagon Beetle.That’s the problem. I don’t know what I want
I think what's more important is that you do not regret your choice, whatever it ends up being.That’s the problem. I don’t know what I want
Two more reasons for going red:
Franz usually seems to be driving red Teslas.
Elon likes Mars. Mars is the red planet.
While I do like my red Model 3, I actually wish it was a bit darker red. Like the sig red on some Model S's. Also, literally the day after I bought it, I took it to a trusted detail shop for "new car paint correction" and ceramic coating. It has looked great ever since.

Only thing I worry about red is studies that have shown that red cars can elicit a higher aggressive response from drivers. And I’m already driving a Tesla so I know it’s more prone to rage than other cars.

I think that White highlights the curvature of the Model 3 the best, while MSM gives the car a distinctive look from a distance if it also comes with Aero wheels. Red and Blue are purely personal preferences - great for highlighting personalities. Black looks somewhat odd on a small car.
When we ordered our Model Y, my wife wanted the black interior while my son and I strongly felt the white seats made the car much brighter and gave it more of a wow factor!
Now that we've had our Y for about 5 months, my wife has said a few times that she's glad we went with the white seats.
They're very easy to keep clean (just keep some baby wipes in the car or your garage) and really give the interior an amazing look!
If there's a Tesla store near you, go in and check both interiors out, but I'd say the white interior is easily worth the extra $$$.

Ah here we go, our weekly thread on which interior to choose. It's a fun question and I spend too much time on here so I don't mind.
The conclusion to all of these threads: White seats are 44 billion times better. But black is okay too.

Our 3.5-year-old 3 has white seats that still look new. They also stay cooler than black seats in the sun, though in Seattle that might not matter much.
This was merged with one of your other threads on colors etc, because I mentioned last time to please keep this conversation to one of the threads you started on this general topic of advising you which vehicle colors to buy.
