I had the same reservations and never had owned a red car before. My advice is to go with it. Whatever color, it's a $100K car and people know it. Another color won't hide that fact.
My car wasn't 100k. Jus saying. (-;

I do still kind of wish I would have gone with white from time to time though. So pretty but I would have been washing that car constantly...
Slightly OT, my apologies, but which colors are easiest to keep clean? I have had mostly black cars (MB SLK350, BMW 650i and Volvo V60), and those were a pain to keep shiny!
If you want to make a statement for driving an electric car, do it good. So the color red can help you to get attention. For many other cars in this segment it's no option to drive that color. For Tesla Model S it's allowed. You help Tesla to change the way of thinking!
i hope you meant "self-conscious" :smile:...I just thought I would feel subconscious driving it and thought it would not be well perceived
You should pick the color that you like, and try not to worry about what other people think about it. I think people you know will judge you by your behavior rather than by the car you drive, especially the color.
I think there are scientific studies out there on this topic if someone is feeling sufficiently eager to learn…I bought a yellow Roadster not to draw attention to myself, but because the Roadster was the only EV available and as much I loved the Thunder Gray, I live in Seattle and I don't want to drive a 44" tall car that blends in with wet pavement. (My wife and I have long had a discussion about tradeoffs between efficient vehicles and safe vehicles; it is hard to make a big safe vehicle more efficient, but you can make a small efficient vehicle more safe by minor changes like color choice).
