Tesla Model 3: Exterior colours
1. Pearl White
Type: Multi-coat
Cost: No cost (default colour) Available on: All models Tesla Model 3 comes in a Pearl White colour as standard. It’s a multi-coat paint which means it got an additional coat of paint before the clearcoat which makes the colour look even glossier. The Pearl White is a great option if you want something that’s simple yet classy. The white goes well against the black tyres and detailing. Since the white’s a standard on the Model 3, you won’t have to spend any additional money on getting the colour.

2. Black
Type: Solid
Cost: £1,300 Available on: All models You can get a Black Tesla Model 3 at an additional cost of £1,300. The black paint goes especially well with the sleek design of the Model 3 and it helps bring the luxury out. The only drawback with the colour is you’re more likely to see dents and dust on the car, so you need to keep it clean.

3. Stealth Grey
Type: Premium paint
Cost: £1,300 Available on: All models Stealth Grey is a premium paint option available on the Model 3 for an additional cost of £1,300. For those seeking a sleek, dark finish without going fully black, Stealth Grey is an excellent choice. However, like the Black paint option, the Stealth Grey is prone to show dirt on the surface but not as much as Black.

4. Quicksilver
Type: Metallic
Cost: £2,000 Available on: All models The colour Quicksilver is a relatively new colour option that was added after the Model 3’s facelift. Costing £2,000 extra, Quicksilver is a grey hue that’s a darker shade than the Lunar Silver colour option you got with the Tesla Model S. What’s great about the silver is that makes it gives the car a futuristic look. The car’s dark undertones go well with the Model 3’s aggressive front and rear. While silver is a popular colour in general, Quicksilver is a different enough hue to stand out from other silver cars on the road. Overall, it’s a great option for those who want something modern and sophisticated but it’s also the most expensive one.

5. Deep Blue
Type: Metallic
Cost: £1,300 Available on: All models Deep Blue is a versatile and unique colour. Available in a metallic finish, the Deep Blue makes the car look shiny and cool. It’s definitely the boldest colour option the Model 3 is available in. It looks great under the sun and is likely to stand out from other cars – which some people prefer while others may not – so it comes down to your personal preference.
