You‘re right. Ultra Red is 🔥🔥🔥.

matthewralston 2026-01-03 10:20

Quicksilver 🤤

david2remedy 2026-01-03 10:28

Quicksilver hands down

pc772 2026-01-03 10:30

But the red man!!!

amoeba1126 2026-01-03 11:07

Ultra Red aka Mazda Soul is indeed Tesla's best shade. Quicksilver gives off Robocop vibes though and that's always a strong contender.

Armoredpolecat 2026-01-03 11:15

In the showroom it definitely does, but under a variety of lighting I find the quicksilver to be more consistent.

Bixnoodby 2026-01-03 11:58

I have performance in ultra red, and let me tell you, these posts about the Colors of the cars are seriously making me reconsider owning one just so I wouldn’t be associated with you zesty boys

Gigtooo 2026-01-03 12:27

The p yes. The rest is fine in the other colors.

Dan_Boro 2026-01-03 13:16

Yeah red is the best colour by far, it's just the extra £2000 that stopped me going for it 😫

Revolutionary_Gift47 2026-01-03 13:38

Diamond Black 😎

Affectionate_Town273 2026-01-03 13:42

That’s what I went with the black. No regret with that decision. With dark tint like the stealth look.

KilroyKSmith 2026-01-03 13:55

Oh yeah.  I had a 2018 Model 3 in Red, and felt nothing but contempt for every other vehicle on the road.  Except for Miata’s in Soul Red.  I coveted that color.  I now have a Y in Ultra Red, which is at least in the ballpark with Soul Red; it’s not quite as good, but it’s close enough. And Red is the fastest color.

NewDayNewBurner 2026-01-03 14:15

Quicksilver then red IMO. (I had to buy Government Gray due to the tax credit, so I don’t have a dog in this fight.)

91Jammers 2026-01-03 14:24

That's because every other other color is boring basic bitch.

OldFargoan 2026-01-03 14:30

I would have white but Ultra Red was free at the time so I have the red.

flekinjos 2026-01-03 14:31

Franz designed those lines to fit “Mazda red“ the best 😁 Jokes aside, I really like the new Model 3 update 👌

Dan_Boro 2026-01-03 14:32

Nice, wish it was an included colour for me 😂

amoeba1126 2026-01-03 14:54

The depth of Ultra Red and how it changes with the lighting is a big part of it's charm and why so many people love it.

amoeba1126 2026-01-03 14:55

Love black, will never get a black car again :p

Seansong82 2026-01-03 15:03

M3PH Black and White represent, Red looks good too but only on Performance.

crist_toro 2026-01-03 15:42

I got a red M3, my neighbor got the same in white. Mine attracts way more attention, but I love it.

OldFargoan 2026-01-03 15:45

They lured me in with 0% APR, free Ultra Red, transfer FSD from my used trade and the tax credit. I couldn't say no.

Anon424977 2026-01-03 15:59

Looks good in red and white.

psychoacer 2026-01-03 16:01

Gen 1 quicksilver with chrome trim for the win.

ukamber 2026-01-03 16:01

Yeah, that’s why it’s the most expensive upgrade, idk why you think it’s a hot take or something

First-Guide 2026-01-03 16:12

Same. I love my diamond black but it only stays clean for a day and scratches always look way worse. It's killing my OCD haha.

Revolutionary-Fan235 2026-01-03 16:14

I would have gotten the new red if my previous car hadn't been red. I like to switch colors. Maybe I'll get ultra red if it's available for my next car.

Honest_Annual8802 2026-01-03 16:22

Was struggling between this and red. I recently visited one with an ultra red one and I’m so glad I went with black😍

Present-Ad-9598 2026-01-03 16:28

Interesting choice fs

Hot-Accountant-4425 2026-01-03 16:50

Reds nice, if your a woman …

KamilKiri 2026-01-03 17:38

Stealth grey anyone?

vandilx 2026-01-03 17:40

Ultra Red does look sharp. I didn't want to spend $2000 for it, though, so I went with Midnight Silver Metallic (gray).

Local-Associate-9135 2026-01-03 17:50

What a nonsense, the car is almost identical with a non-p so what makes it stand out so much color wise? I have a LR and I love my Ultra Red, best car color ever in any light condition.

EfficientMinimum5696 2026-01-03 18:04

I mean I agree, but I’ll still fight you.

Ryuzaki413 2026-01-03 18:08

Ah yes quicksilver: the color of 2004 Honda civics

rwrife 2026-01-03 19:00

Only when it’s clean.

Enjoy_The_Ride413 2026-01-03 20:19

No love for Blue in here! Sheesh!

LectricOldman 2026-01-03 20:27

what amoeba said.......

ballout_glo_300 2026-01-03 20:36

Ultra red is a great color, more of a quicksilver man myself though

cheapdvds 2026-01-03 20:45

Red hands down. Quicksilver has to be super clean and certain lighting conditions to stand out. Once it gets slightly dirty or not enough sun, it just blends in like any regular grey car out there. You won't even notice it in the parking lot.

kossiewossie 2026-01-03 21:23

Ultra red is just best color on all Teslas imo.

P5YCO 2026-01-03 21:49

The red is stunning... I like the Y in red too https://preview.redd.it/xh49ulyjg7bg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=698b98ae7a81dd81f9247055221b981c776f8ed1

LahHotSausage 2026-01-03 21:56

Nah you ain’t lying

ForeverMinute7479 2026-01-03 22:02

That red looks so S3XY good

dragonovus 2026-01-03 23:19

I prefer white

degackz 2026-01-03 23:28

I really like the black. Additionally, it’s like getting 2 colors at the same time, black just after wash, grayish for the next week or so, still, black is best.

Away-Scar7754 2026-01-04 00:41

Love the red. Didn’t want to pay the extra $$ https://preview.redd.it/tjsxo1w5b8bg1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=949f4264a790d96414e4b27dd1cddab128f2ddf3

shad_stang 2026-01-04 00:44

I own a black Model 3 and was about to argue with you, but then I realized that I had to wash my car.

Old_Presentation_477 2026-01-04 01:41

I just got a red performance model three 2025 at the end of September and it’s beautiful. So obviously, I agree with you and especially under bright lighting.

M_Flutterby 2026-01-04 02:23

My 2019 Model 3 in the Red Multi-Coat with chrome and the white interior still looks amazing. I had planned, years ago, on blacking out the chrome to look more distinctive on the road, and I'm so glad I didn't, since now it stands out in a sea of chromeless Teslas. [This](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fa6h335p0zuc31.jpg) is an old pic. The new Ultra Red does look nice, but I think it's pretty dark and "serious" and prefer the old brighter red, which gives a more "fun" vintage sporty look.

EpicTechStar 2026-01-04 02:58

Looks amazing but won’t own that color

Ready-External-9482 2026-01-04 08:33

Always thought this, but that's a ok, let them have there cool other colors, it makes the red shine more. I still have yet to see a red m3p in person.

cherrytoffee 2026-01-04 08:55

Pearl white looks great even when dirty.

Seansong82 2026-01-04 13:50

Its just a personal opinion dude, not an attack on your Red M3 LR.

Terrible_Software_78 2026-01-04 15:45

Black is the only color I recognize! Best with white interior but I’ll allow black interior as well.

martwana 2026-01-04 16:54

I have this exact one, M3P, Ultra Red and white interior on order. It’s the very best combo.

JuJuBee- 2026-01-04 20:14

I think so too. However I just bought a 2023 in white and she is beautiful too

Jealous-Comparison64 2026-01-04 21:25

I’ll fight you ![gif](giphy|c9IDsR5ooqvW8)

Historical_Bag4520 2026-01-04 22:45

I got mine in red with the silver rims

alnandr 2026-01-04 23:55

I own the exact same car, color, and interior. Ultra Red is the way to go. Don't forget to tint your windows. https://preview.redd.it/sn09pwqv7fbg1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97998a618edc48fb2b465c92c9f358e45fdb9f65

Wild_Ant_7667 2026-01-05 02:04

What year Miata is soul red? Nice color btw. I wanted red for my wife Mod3. But she wanted that metallic black. Black is such a hard color to take care of. I bought those plush Chemical guys microfiber xl drying towel and that hybrid wash mitts. And a collapsible Adam gall bucket

Wild_Ant_7667 2026-01-05 02:09

I recommend this brand floor and trunk mat for it simplistic design. I should have bought the floor mat with the frunk combo. https://preview.redd.it/6epmar1uvfbg1.jpeg?width=1282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e420f7179f9ad87b2c4b970c9dfcc33602387cb3

Handsomedork_ 2026-01-05 03:03

White or black for any car is always the right answer

PrestigiousShift134 2026-01-05 03:07

I dont think anyone will fight you on this. Best color BY FAR. and IMHO one of the few Tesla colors that actually makes the car (a little) unique in a sea of Teslas haha

udee79 2026-01-05 04:22

I agree but I just couldn't spring for the extra money

Trucker_Trent 2026-01-05 04:47

You lost me at front license plate

TopEnd1907 2026-01-05 06:49

I have this car since October 2025 and totally agree with you! Mine is not as shiny as this showroom model. It is worth the up charge for the color. Some friends tried to put me off my choice but no regrets. It is easy to find in parking lots too.

captainsaverebornII 2026-01-05 16:31

For me, the white mp3 looks so much better then the nonperformance.

TimeEast3123 2026-01-05 18:53

Absolutely! With white seats too game over

Ornery_Climate1056 2026-01-05 19:51

Since each of us is paying for our Tesla, the best color is the color we choose!! (That being said, the red is striking!)

Impressive-Agency797 2026-01-06 00:28

Pearl White

INFINITE_MINECRAFTER 2026-01-06 05:53

I dont disagree w u so my friend we dont needa fight xD. we are frien now :). Ill either go with black or ultra red. Both always look good when kept flawless and clean.

Mr_Hyy 2026-01-07 08:02

White is generally the easiest color to mantain clean in cars but I do agree that Tesla's pearl white is great.

ZealousidealDraw4075 2026-01-07 11:17

Yes this model is best in red Last model the color options where a bit shit so white it is

Majd14x 2026-01-07 17:38

I agree, but with Standard Black Interior.

Glum-Cut4284 2026-01-08 02:44

Quicksilver or black the best imo

EducationalBoss2293 2026-01-08 03:16

Almost went for Red , but I really love my white model 3

Expensive-Match4402 2026-01-08 08:39

What??? It comes in other colors?

Tomato_Fit 2026-01-09 23:31

Red plus white interior, like mine! Looks great 👍🏼

Dee_504 2026-01-10 11:39

Honestly I like all colors but the blue

hoffmanimal 2026-01-11 12:00

Matte metallic wizard green looks phenomenal
