Multi Coat Red Picture Thread

[Nakk]

Why is there just a blue Y thread? Let's fix this!

This is exactly what mine will look like, if it ever arrives. (I was told I would get it by end of March, but the pandemic has thrown that out the window.)

I don't intend to change the outside appearance at all, past the PPF and ceramic coating. I do plan to cover the wood paneling and probably the center console. Not big on wood in a high-tech car, and also not a fan of piano black surfaces that show off fingerprints.

Model 3 & Y Dashboards Replacements Black or White $299



Highly recommend the black alcantara dash to match the doors



This is what it will look like

I would do this if I had black interior. Looks amazing

This is exactly what I want!

Yeah, that looks great!

I was thinking of doing Carbon Fiber with these,

Model 3 & Y Center Console Plastic Cover - Carbon Fiber Coated- (4 Pieces Gen.2) From $89

Model 3 & Y Carbon Fiber Dashboards Replacements- From $499

Although the Alcanatra one is like half the price!

For some reason, the Alcantara link (Model 3 & Y Dashboards Replacements Black or White $299) says $762.00!

I think that is because of all the shipping and prepaid shipping to get the core back via Fedex. Change everything to local pick up and install and its $299 when you put it in your cart.

Spotted in my neighborhood. Gorgeous! There are many Model 3’s where I live and I almost walked right by this car without noticing what it was. First one I’ve seen in a driveway in my area.

Never had a red car but this color is so sporty looking love it

 

[phantasms]

Never had a red car. Probably will get a red Y.

Haha. I have had red cars and trucks my whole life. I decided this time I am saving the grand and getting blue.

Congrats guys. My favorite color on the Y, especially paired with black wheels. Trying to convince the wife to trade in her X3 for one in this combo.

 

[newEVuser]

Nice Color choice. Love my Red MY too! Stay safe, everyone.

 

[Justinm1700]

Here my white LR AWD.

The problem with these types of threads, especially the RED Tesla threads is that the images in the thread just can never do justice to just how wonderful and rich the color looks in person. It’s like a glorious moving pool of liquid red licorice, or a hot sea of warm molten lava or the richest red ruby lipstick or even better high contrastY red ruby SLIPPERS in person. Every time I see this color I ALMOST wish I had picked red. It has so much weight and depth in person. I wonder how many coats they end up putting on. I’ve heard its lower than most luxury OEM’s but it still looks VERY good.

Looks beautiful. Congratulations. I'm waiting for my red MY--AWD, not FSD , not performance, and 19" wheels

The only addition to my Accord that I passed on was the wood trim interior, and I regretted it; I went with Sporty too. For an CSUV, it's not as sporty as the sedan. It's personal choice though. I love the bamboo wood veneer and went with a match on my console. The nice thing happening with ALL the Teslas, is people making them unique and to their own personal taste. Enjoy! - Red Leader.

Yeah, it's definitely a matter of personal taste. And, to be fair, I should give the wood trim a chance to grow on me before I pull the trigger on making it go away. But the shiny center console surface is definitely on the chopping block.
