Agreed 100% . No idea why they discontinued Silver. It was even available on the Model 3 and it looks great on that car as well.

The trim in chrome suits the silver. Not so much with darker colors though. On the Black, Blue , Gray and Red cars, the chrome trim looks cheap and out of place.

Walmart store managers are actually very well paid. You have to put up with a WORLD of crap to get to that point, that’s the carrot they dangle in front of them.

But they can make $250k or so, with options and all even more

I believe they are managers. Look how the Model X is parked. Same person that drives the Model S. Same parking spot.

You just have to put in the extra effort. As you know I have two black cars. I take them to the carwash every other week, and try and use Chemical brothers waterless carwash in-between

I don’t have the energy for the effort lol.

I’ve been looking at companies to do a clear bra if I get a new car or maybe do color change PPF on mine if I keep it. He did a Model S Plaid in a metallic silver wrap, it looked AMAZING. I will find the pics.

Neither do I 🤣. That's why I take them to the car wash every other week. I have a membership for a chain here called Loop, $15 wash with $1 off when you accumulate enough points, and 5th wash is free. I just drive through it, does a good job. Sometimes if there is some stuck on bug goo or bird poop, I just use waterless carwash to spot clean that area. What can I say, I love Black! Although the Model 3 Performance next year I'll probably get it in dark grey. I've seen a couple on the road and the color looks nice. May go for the White interior, but we'll see when the time comes next year
