I have found Electrek reporting to be very reliable.

Kelly Blue Book says silver is the most popular color in the US for luxury cars. I’m surprised Tesla is dropping it.
I'd have agreed with you about Electrek until fairly recently. Anyway that's getting off-topic, and Elon's twitter post confirmed this story.
Dropping silver makes some sense to me, even though it's what I ordered. Around our area I see far fewer silver TM3 than other colors.
Good point about KBB. Maybe TM3 buyers don't think of it as a luxury car?
Could also be fashion: I know some folks who got tired of silver because of MacBooks etc. They're all likely TM3 buyers. These days Apple offers alternatives, and I see a lot of new MacBooks in space gray. I guess the TM3 equivalent would be MSM.
