Please someone who is attending the referral look-see on June 2 ask for Tesla's current/final thinking on the M3 colors to be offered...with a special emphasis on the screaming need for Midnight Silver or its equivalent.

Is Sig red have metallic in it or is it more candy apple? I am trying to figure out the color and I think I could sway to that color instead of silver. I would love to see a sig red in Austin before I order but I think that is out of the question.

It's definitely a metallic color, although the flakes are not as pronounced as on some metallics. Google search came across this website that might help show it in more detail. I think it's a gorgeous color.

Thanks it really does look gorgeous. I am used to having a fire engine red color (my truck is bright red). I had a mustang in a similar color. Not sure what I am going to do

I'm pretty positive that Matte Black will make it to the Model 3, because Elon said that it would definitely be coming, and he said the Falcon wings would definitely be coming and they came so he has a good track record with not backing down lol.

He also said we'd get and SDK and a Chrome browser in 2014.
Still waiting for that "kernel update" he promised.

No he didn't, what he said was "Probably makes sense to bring it to production". That's not definite

Note to those not in the know, the previous post was of an older concept / show car, not an RC pre-production car.

I'm sure there are plenty of places that will wrap it in matte black if you really want it. I am quite certain this will not be a color choice option.
The recent photos of the silver M3 look much better than the first ones that came out. They don't look as dull and are closer to the alpha silver than I thought it was. It's still not as chrome-like as the alpha but it puts it back on my list of possibilities. I would expect it to be the same silver as the S/X. Opinions of anyone who has seen the silver S/X are welcome. I'm mainly interested in how dull or shiny metallic it looks.

I think most of the photos up to this point of the silver RCs were under cloudy conditions which most likely "dulled" down the metallic nature of the color. Also depends on what was used to take the pictures, someone's cell phone or quality digital SLR camera.

Is this the Pearl White that we have been seeing on the RCs or the old solid white? Anyone know for sure?

I am in Norway and after seeing midnight silver everywhere I sure hope the Model 3 ships in midnight silver.
There are a crazy number of Tesla here. I saw a blue Model X and was wondering if it was Bjorn's.
