Pearl white with tan interior is my current obsession. Deep Blue with light color interior works for me too, but it's got to be the right shade of blue. I guess I have to see one in person.

Please educate me....Tesla is spending tons of effort to build the best paint shop in the world. You guys putting saran wrap on the paint...does the paint need to breath/dry/cure for awhile before wrapping? (how long). Does the wrap yellow over time? Rock chips happen - even on wrap cars. How does one repair film? Do you ever wax, or otherwise maintain a film coating? After a few years, do you peel it off and reapply. If body damage happens, how do you fix the film?
If I am paying an extra $1500 for a special paint (sig red in my future) does this wrap hurt the long range use?
This is our Pearl White that we just took delivery on the other day:After looking at these pictures over and over I still can't decide.
Do I go bold with blue or timeless with white? I am so torn!
Btw thanks to everyone for the pictures. Deep blue is gorgeous!
Gorgeous! Your car almost looks like blue chrome. Did you use any paint protection?The blue does show up the dirt more, than the pearl, but in the sun it really shines - worth the extra washing IMO

You are using my base-case plan....trust the car makers paint.
I have seen others talk about paint protection plans...cant seem to get a feel when to jump and when to sit. How did you decide Factory is good enough?
I am with you on the paint protection.... it seems like the factory paint should be stout enough, but then the DS said, "Elon wanted supercar quality paint, so Tesla paints are kinda soft and more prone to damage". Of course, these super young Tesla employees say lots of stuff that seems to be mostly anecdotal conjecture. I have never put paint protection on my other cars and the paint held up just fine, so at this point I am considering wrapping just the front bumper and.... maybe the hood. Ten grand for an entire wrap seems excessive (to me). My other concern is.... what if the wrap stuff starts peeling off five years from now, what then? Tough call.
I went with paint protection film on my Dolphin Grey 2013 S85, after paint correction. The paint correction specialist, who has worked on several hundred Teslas, confirmed that the paint on the Tesla is very soft. Measurement of the depth of the paint varied from point to point over the car. I had PPF applied, then CQuartz Finest. Three years later I don't regret it for a moment, and the water beads off my car the same way it did in the first months. I will be driving our second Model S straight to Joe Torbati at OC Detailing for paint correction and PPF.I am with you on the paint protection.... it seems like the factory paint should be stout enough, but then the DS said, "Elon wanted supercar quality paint, so Tesla paints are kinda soft and more prone to damage".
