What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

......or this without the fancy painted stuff

I picked silver metallic because I didn't want to emphasize the lines of the car, which I don't think are great. It also makes the chrome less noticeable and doesn't show dirt as much as most others.

Is this another color preference post? Sigh. There is no objective answer to this question, so what's the point? I'd never buy a "normal" silver colored car, and I'd have preferred a dark red/burgundy, but that wasn't an option. I have MSM, which contrasts well with sport wheels. But that, you see, is purely personal preference.

By asking which color is ugliest, it seems like you're just trying to bait people for a response. Perhaps I failed by taking that bait.

This poll is intended for entertainment purposes only. No scientific public opinion research is being conducted, I swear.

Are you not entertained?

Agree on the lines, surprised by your decision. Black, blue and what you guys call MSM, but I prefer Space X Gray to honor my two favorite brands, do a better job downplaying the lines, in my opinion.

Love the new thread title. You guys!

I did not want it to be impartial Thanks all the same. Now it really is another color preference poll.

And "Solid Black" (many people's first or second preferred color) inherited the 13 votes meant for "Other".

Then what was the point? Doesn't really belong here if it's intended for anything else.

How else am I supposed to kill a month or two?

I am sorry, but would you care to elaborate why? Did I miss the Terms of Use that say all posts have to be impartial?

P.S. I just now noticed the Model 3: Interior & Exterior subforum. I apologize.

P.P.S. I found this in the ToS and I stand corrected.

Talking of M3 colors, Black does not seem to be a multicoat . so from my perspective paying $1000 has some value. You are buying more coats of paint.

I've asked the mod to remove the thread.

Silver was the winner in the final tally with 40% of the vote.

Please go take your sour energy elsewhere.

Your original idea was a great one. And, the moderator’s changes only served to make it more useful.

Yeesh!

I think all the colors look pretty good, but my least favorite is White. White M3s I saw just looked a bit, blah.

What I'm most likely to get is Silver or Red. I've seen one Silver M3 and thought it looked amazing. I haven't seen Red in the flesh, but from the look on YouTube they can look really good if well polished. If I got red it would be the 1st time. I'm a bit concerned that it would stand out, but then again I think that Silver will stand out too as it's currently the most rare color.

I'm surprised that Model 3 buyers seem to like Silver the least, since that is the most popular car color by far especially for luxury cars. Silver generally meant the highest resale value.

What’s up with the hate on silver? I like that one the best especially with 19” wheels

 

[Justmurr]

Added another vote for white being my least favorite - although that’s more of an all car thing for me rather than just the Model 3. I mean even in white this car looks great to me but white cars just make me look for your company logo on the doors ..it’s a fleet, company car color to me...but of course that’s just my opinion.
I have a multi-coat red version with over 2k miles logged and it’s incredible. It does get attention for sure, especially here on the east coast.

 

[Dynastar]

In general I like white the least on cars, except maybe for silver, but I really like how the 3 looks in white with the areo wheels.

 

[slipnslider]

I normally like red cars. The RX-7, Dodge Viper, Acura NSX, and all ferraris all had beautiful reds.
The red tesla uses on the model 3 has a touch of burgundy in it, and looks REALLY burgundy under certain light conditions. Changes it from a sporty color to an old-man-car color. Wish it was just sporty red instead of "mature" red.
