Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

[GreenCoffee]

Seen an X in the Ultra red when I picked up my Y from service, the new red is one of the nicest colors i've seen, I had never owned a red car before this Y I just picked up and am really liking it, then I seen this new Ultra red and was blown away how much better it looked.

A few more pics of ultra red showing up out there on Model Xes.

Model X - Ultra Red <== note around 34 seconds in the shot of the folded mirror shows a hot of what a direct sun might look like
Model X 2 - Ultra Red

From these videos it doesn't really look like a Mazda Soul Red - just a darker red with a bit more chroma and flop. Really still want to see one clean with some direct overhead sun. Heck, as a comparison, my son and his wife have TWO Mazda CX-5s....BOTH in Soul Red, but look how different they appear in this pic (in real life, they are the same)...one is definitely cleaner:

Damn that soul red is nice

Certainly looks more lipstick red to me. Was wanting a smidge darker. But I still like it.

The videos IMO do not do the new color justice, you need to see it in person.

Replacing my 2016 s with the new red one. Anxiously awaiting my vin, also hoping red Had a later build date and includes the Phoenix radar and updated cameras. Looks like such amazing color.

1/3, no VIN yet, but EOQ so I bet we'll start seeing them drop next week.

 

[fasteddie7]

My order date is 3/13
where do you find estimated delivery? I see on the webpage it still says march delivery, but I don’t see any specific dates in my app.

 

[Macbest]

My order date was 3/8; Ultra Red, MSLR; bay area based. No VIN yet; No trade amount yet.

I wouldn’t be surprised that since the new ultra red came out, they may be producing just this color to catch up (or at least one can hope!)

Just ordered a Model S Plaid in Ultra Red / Cream after getting to see an X in person in Ultra red. I’m not a fan of red cars usually but loved this color. Attaching a few parking lot photos of the X. Better in person. It’s darker and has a lot of depth to it.

 

[nicholie]

Now I’m waffling. A Plaid is now available to me, but in white. For $10k more to get the plaid is tempting… even if missing out on the ultra red.

Stormtrooper white looks great with the black trim if you tint the windows.

If they could confirm new HW and brakes, I think it’s be a no brainer.

Rather have UR. White is BORING and most common color

 

[Propofoln]

Just placed my order for Ultra Red. Sorry @lowtek, don't want white for $10k less. I'd be looking to trade it in after 3 months and lose that $10k. Anyway, $250 and I'll see how the financials look after what they give me for trade on my 2021 Blue MSP etc

All,

I just started the process of my very first Tesla order, and it happens to be Ultra Red. I am a traditional gearhead with a 1936 Chrysler Airstream Convertible Coupe, a 2014 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited Hard Rock, a 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and past cars (just a few of the many) consisting of a 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo (my favorite car… EVER), a 1966 GTO Convertible, many Volkswagens (all air cooled) and a handful of Corvair convertibles. As an electrical engineer and professor, I am a dyed-in-the-wool technology geek and am looking forward to melding my love of cars and technology into a single vehicle.

I have watched close to two dozen YouTube videos on Tesla, am of course, familiar with Elon Musk (I worked for NASA in a past life and currently use StarLink as my rural Internet provider). After all I have read, seen, and heard, I am most concerned about Tesla quality issues. With any luck, the lack of quality control issues are both overblown and mostly past… I guess I will find out.

My order is showing a March 2023 delivery, which I cannot help but feel is optimistic, but I can wait.

I have attached my configuration for reference.

Best,

Joe

Same as my order minus FSD. Maybe a tip, save the $15k and pay the $200 a month subscription. You can’t get any of that back if you sell car

These forums are designed for owners to talk about their issues Good and bad. And to come up with solutions through the collective wisdom and experience of the community. So no surprise it feels like problems are amplified.

I have owned two model s (2016 and 2018) and just ordered a 2023 (order 3/8, EDD March 22-31). I have had essentially no problems with the cars. Way more reliable than any ICE I have owned (over 22 cars so far!). The biggest issue was the Big battery failing and that was handled in just over a week. This is the reason I have ordered my third S.

Bottom line, stuff happens but in my experience way less than the ICE cars that I have owned.

The help of this community is awesome to address those times when everything isn’t “perfect”.

Not true. From used car sales values over recent years you'll get a big chunk of that back plus your car will appeal to a lot more people as many folks won't even look at cars that don't have that equipped.

Show me the car that has $15k worth of FSD paid for at the same price as all the cars that don't and I'll show you a car that sells minutes after it hits the market. It's simply doesn't happen unless it's a dealership or something that doesn't know what they have. Trust me, I'm looking for deals like that everyday for the last 5 years.

That said, if anybody out there has a newer Model S or X priced at all the others w/o FSD but with FSD paid for... Holla at your boy! Cash buyer.
