In other news, new M3 LR RWD. 363 mile range and 4.9 sec 0-60. $34900 with tax rebate. Elon really squeezing the competition.

TSLA down around 8% yesterday and down another 1.5% pre-market. I assume Amirza bought stock on Wednesday..! Just poking fun of course!

That's an awful lot of car for ~$5k more than a top trim Corolla. The days of the economical EV commuter that isn't a crapbucket Leaf are definitely near, if not quite upon us.

wow, didn't know this was now being offered. that's a great bargain because it's eligible for the tax credit.

Haha I wish 😅. I don't have any freed up money right now 😔

fsd update from musk... interesting.

except tesla just called and said they don't have an x now at the location i picked. :egads:

they told me two alternative locations so i went online and switched to one of those so it's still on. :thumbup:

They are putting you on an emotional rollercoaster 🤣

Ah. So back to the way tests drives ARE, then!

Again, enjoy. Interested to see your feedback.

not sure i follow, i still won't be going to a show room... it's another random parking lot. :p

thanks.

They're setting the hook. 🐋

Tesla Model Y gets Quicksilver paint option across all trims in US and Canada

Quicksilver, arguably one of Tesla’s most attractive paint options, is now available for all Model Y trims in the United States and Canada. This update would likely be appreciated by numerous consumers as Quicksilver has proven very popular for the Model Y.

A look at the Tesla Model Y’s order page in the United States and Canada shows that Quicksilver is now available for the all-electric crossover’s Rear Wheel Drive (RWD), Long Range All Wheel Drive (AWD), and Performance variants. Industry watchers have noted that Quicksliver has previously been available only for the Long Range AWD and Performance versions.


Quicksilver made its debut in October 2022 together with Midnight Cherry Red paint, both of which were exclusive to Model Y units that were produced at Gigafactory Berlin. As per Tesla’s announcement then, Quicksilver was made possible by Giga Berlin’s advanced paint shop, which allows up to 13 layers of paint. These layers give the two premium paint options a look that changed depending on its viewing angle.

These characteristics, however, came at a premium price. When Quicksilver was initially announced, it commanded a rather steep price of €3,000. Tesla’s other optional colors at the time, such as Red Multi-Coat, were only priced as a €2,000 add-on. Fortunately, Quicksilver has since gone down in price, as shown in the Model Y’s order page in the United States and Canada. In the United States, the special paint option is priced at a reasonable $2,000 today, and in Canada, it is priced at CA$2,600.


Tesla’s silver paint options have always been very attractive, which was why EV enthusiasts were quite disappointed when the company retired the first-generation Model 3’s Silver Metallic color. Quicksilver is more than a worthy successor to Tesla’s Silver Metallic paint, so it would not be surprising if the electric vehicle maker sees quite a good number of Model 3 and Model Y orders in the special, deep silver color this quarter.
