Just wondering if Tesla plans on coming out with any new paint colors in the near future?
What colors would you like to see?
I'd like to see Tesla get into Custom Factory Paint like they did for me and about a half dozen others before they decided to quit. When the first Sigs came out, there was only one color, red, and then black, grey (silver), and white. I was not willing to do that. I ended up paying significantly for my own choice of color, but I have never been sorry.
I had been told that the grey was going to be more at a gunmetal. Didn't happen.
I have seen gorgeous Taupes, Ivory, Beautiful Blues, Forest Green, Moss Green, Gray blues, Pale pale yellows, and although I am not a red fan, the candy apple they did on the alpha was the most gorgeous red I have seen.
Problem is, their choices are made by people who aren't really color conscious. If they had a Custom Factory Paint, and people could pick from the hundreds of really beautiful colors from PPG or other, and of course be charged for it, you'd see some pretty neat colors. As it is, most humans don't care a whole bunch, so choose Silver (#1), White (#2) or Black (#3). Also, the Dealer Franchise Model tells you that the colors that we have on the lot are what you can choose from, so take your pick. So you pick what the dealer thinks will sell.
Either that, or have Tesla do an official poll, and have people vote for their favorites, based on what the people that buy Teslas would actually like, from a choice of available Automotive Paints. Of course, they can still offer black, grey and white for the colorblind or non caring masses.
If I had not chosen my color, I could have had a P85+, and maybe some other goodies thrown in, but the first thing people say when they see my car is, "I love your color". That's as hard to beat as 0-60 in 3.9 sec.
