I friend of mine chose white when it was a £2100 option on the M3. Fortunately before delivery they switched white to the free colour and he got £2100 knocked off the price

"PCP white" as one dealer called it. You only pick it because you want to keep the monthlies down.

Just ordered an Ultra Red. Half my mates think I’m crazy and the other half like it.
I’ve had black and white in the past. This time I was torn between red, the new grey…. and the black.
Hope I made the right choice

It's more than most won't pay for a paint colour, hence seeing so many in white. If say they had 3 - 4 base colours you'd see a mixture.
It's amazing. I'm not a red car fan normally and I'd pick that as the colour from the selection they have.Just ordered an Ultra Red. Half my mates think I’m crazy and the other half like it.

Red suits only Tesla (Model 3 highland/old and to some extent the S) if you exclude the other expensive cars like Ferrari, McLaren P and some Bugattis and Alfa competizone Rossa 4C (my favourite in Red). Thats my personal opinion.'m not a red car fan normally and I'd pick that as the colou
It is so gorgeous!

Statement colours are always the best.
Best colour I've had was Sunset Orange on my old M140i
Generally love red, but the previous Tesla Model 3 Red is not that nice IMO, the new shade far better
My mate calls it ‘skinflint white’ but on current MY 2 year lease deals for grey, black or blue you pay an extra £1700 or so and can see why so many go for it (along with me), maybe Tesla went overboard with white cars this quarter
Yes I've normally gone for interesting colours.
Sakhir Orange for my M5
San Marino Blue for my M760Li
Solar Yellow for my Eletre
Though I think Yellow with the Eletre is maybe a step too far. That thing attracts so much attention, first car where often when I come back to it there's people peering in, taking photos and so on. Come and ask me about it also if they know it's mine.
Mental note that need to maybe be a little bit more under the radar.
Exactly. I didn't like the old red at all. Ultra Red is the shade you want your woman to wear for her nail polish
That's kind of the issue. Other paint options cost quite a bit more and the car does look good in white, so most just go that route. Just makes it a bit dull when they are all white on the roads. Occasionally you see a big spender with a different colour
This new red is amazing in person, in China they already have the new red on MY along with Quicksilver that also looks great, hope that will filter over here at some point
Definitely the white looks great, I had originally intended to buy a Highland in Ultra Red outright for that very reason of so many white cars about, easier to justify if keeping long term, but a 2 year lease on the MY tempted meThat's kind of the issue.

Yes, there just isn’t any serious/viable competition in the price bracket. This doesn’t mean the vehicles are perfect, but in general the compromises necessary to switch brands and maintain features mean Elon keeps selling vehicles.

<sigh>
Or you actually pick it because that’s your favourite paint colour! The wife’s Y is Midnight Silver so I’ve no particular problem paying for paint…

Yesterday Tesla valued my trade in at £24,400 on writing. I ordered a new car within minutes of the valuation.
My final PCP payment on the old car is £23,100
Now today my Tesla app shows my trade-in value to be £22,165 - lower than the PCP balloon payment.
Tesla told me over the phone yesterday that my trade-in is valued for 30 days.
What a way to piss off your customers.
