Why is tesla waiting so long to make a batch of obsidian black cars? Just make some. There will be others ordering that color later!
There have to be enough obsidian orders for a full batch, I have no idea why there hasn’t been any yet. I recall seeing some data posted the other day for the AWD and P models and if I remember correctly it looked like obsidian and silver haven’t been produced at all for AWD or P models.
My SIL has ordered OBM ("edit" button is gone) cash sale. Apparently color has not gone into production yet - no VIN, no call, no email contact. WAITING, WAITING, WAITING.............................He test drove a Blue 3LR, entered the on-ramp at normal speed and the next thing he knew, he was flying down i/5 at over 80mph. He said it was thrilling, like riding in a spaceship with thrusters on!Has anyone received an obsidian black 3 that they can post pics of?
That might be it. According to this [self-selected survey] it is the least popular colour option, by a lot:Given the price of the car I would imagine that a lot of people considering black would just as soon save the $1500, and get the included black. And perhaps people who like silver prefer the MSM, instead? Just guesses on my part.

Red Multicoat wasn't overly popular in the RWD, that was MSM and Blue Metallic as clear favourites, but with the AWD it's jumped out front.
Here's Troy's older, everything together one: Model 3 Order Tracker #1 (Troy: There are a few identical files to avoid overcrowding)Thanks, this is the data I was trying to reference but I couldn’t find the link. Both black and obsidian black as well as silver are relatively low in number at least in this data.
My opinion is that you check the colour out in person, in at least a few different levels of light. In low light it's very hard to note the difference between Solid Black and Obsidian, even when they are parked together. If you are need a Tesla Service Center you should be able to see an S or X in Obsidian, to give at least an idea of what it'll look like. That's how I made my choice. Looked at Model 3s in all the colours available prior and then tried to judge from that by an Obsidian Model S that was also there.Has anyone received an obsidian black 3 that they can post pics of?
You'll have a month or two waiting and years to enjoy the Obsidian.I ordered an Obsidian Black AWD. Should have selected Midnight Silver.
My concern is Obsidian will push my delivery into 2019 since it's supposedly the least common choice and Tesla's main priority is speed of production.You'll have a month or two waiting and years to enjoy the Obsidian.
P.S. I think MSM is a fine colour, it's just that I've had basically that colour for the last 6 years on one of our cars and I'm done with it.
