I ordered a Model 3 AWD LR white/white but I've decided to change it to Ultra Red/Black Interior

adriasanchezig | 2026-02-03 14:21 | 30 views

Although the white/white looks stunning to me, I think it has two downsides: * White interior reflections on the glass and in your peripheral vision at night * Almost every Model 3 I see is white After a lot of hesitation, I changed my order to Ultra Red with a black interior. A Highland Model 3 in Ultra Red was actually the first Tesla I ever test drove, and even though I’m not usually a fan of red color, Ultra Red just looks sexy, it’s gorgeous. It's going to be unique, specially here in Spain. I went with the black interior to avoid reflections and also because the white felt like spending even more money on an already expensive car Hope I didn’t make the wrong choice. And now I can’t change it anymore because I don’t want to drive my Tesla Advisor crazy

I also have red/black, you made the right choice by changing it! White/white is boring

I hope you like it! I really thought through my color choices too and decided on QS and black interior but I wish I had gotten ultra red and white interior 😂 but I’m happy and I put white seat covers so it’s brighter now inside.

ultra red in person is on another level, photos don't do it justice. and in Spain with that sunlight it's going to pop like crazy. you won't regret it

Ultra Red - good choice. I went with while interior...but both look good!

Voidfang_Investments 2026-02-03 15:02

The white interior is absolutely goated imo

Zarsk 2026-02-03 15:35

I have never noticed reflection because of the seat

poopshoot_dot_com 2026-02-03 16:38

I like the red out of the factory colors the best!

I have ultra red with white seats. Love the car but my only regret is not getting black seats. I constantly worry about staining them (haven’t yet though, had the car over a year) and I don’t like how easy it is to see into the car even with 20% tint. But reflections while driving aren’t an issue. And don’t worry about annoying your advisor. Sure you hate to do it, but you’ll never talk to this person again and you’ll have the car for years.

I skipped it on my second one… And I really miss it!

Ultra red is amazing you will not be disappointed

I love the luster of the ultra red on its own but I just couldn't pass up making it matte. I know it's not everyone's taste, but I love it in matte and I know I'll love it all over again when I decide to remove the PPF. Congrats and enjoy, ultra red on black is top tier. White seats would have been too Christmassy for my taste.

From what I’ve seen. The white seats made after the refresh use a much better material that are really hard to stain, I’ve seen videos of denim dye rubbing right off with a microfiber and water. That being said you should still apply a ceramic coating, I also heard non-scented DUDE WIPES are good for cleaning

I ordered an Ultra Red with black interior Performance this week. I am tired of the white, grey, silver and black everywhere. There are not a lot of color in cars, at least here in the US. I saw the first blue Y today, can’t say I’ve seen a red in person ever on the road. Stand out, be different. Red with black is a great combination and will standout over time while all the boring colors blend into a blob.

I just worry about the ventilations. If liquid gets in there you're fucked.

Present-Ad-9598 2026-02-04 01:14

Black seats also have ventilation… Gjeebs has a good video on how to care for the seats

AWD Ultra Red w/ Black interior here. Looks absolutely gorgeous, stands out from every other white/black/grey that everyone loves out here (Hawaii) and love the Black interior with black accenting on the Ultra Red. Just looks fierce. You’ll love it.

I just bought this exact Tesla and I love it. It’s beautiful.

Jdsmitty10 2026-02-04 03:11

Good choice. My top choice was white on black or red on black. But in the USA at the time I bought those were $8-$9k options as I would have lost the tax credit so I have stealth grey on black. Love it but still wish I got one of my first two options.

Interesting_Ad_1888 2026-02-04 03:58

Good move. White interior is objectively tacky.

Schnitzhole 2026-02-04 04:22

🙄 what does this have to do with white seats? Also the white seats are hard to stain.

Schnitzhole 2026-02-04 04:25

I have white seats and i was worried about staining them as my family is messy and we do a lot of messy activities like camping and kids stuff. Literally 0 issues with the white seats after a year. They don’t reflect off the windshield at night because it’s angled… Lots of Teslas have them because they are unique and honestly better. One perk that is excellent is that they stay way cooler than black in the hot summer days and keep the cabin cooler too. Not getting them because other people have them is really a backward minded reasoning approach.

It won’t drive your advisor crazy. It’s a big ass investment which you’re going to live with for multiple years. Change it please.

Phofighter12 2026-02-04 06:19

i went white/black cause: \- it averages about 400 degrees here and you can honestly cook an egg on a black car (I've done it) \- I went the M3P so the extra black bits constrast nicely against the white \- sunscreen, fake tan, makeup all visibly trash the white interior \- red fades bad this close to hell. All the red mazdas here for years start a beautiful red gloss and are a dull fade after a year or so. But great if it works for you. Red looks beautiful!

Omega2307 2026-02-04 07:12

Also went red with black despite a lot of people here drooling for white. Dont want to worry about cleaning that stuff every week…

Looks great but the plastic trim instead of wood is awful, and white seats need so much care to stay clean

Voidfang_Investments 2026-02-04 11:00

Baby wipes occasionally - very easy actually!

IGNORED34 2026-02-04 11:01

I like autopilot/ Auto steer way too much order a new one for the foreseeable future.

Oversoul91 2026-02-04 12:47

Because you’ll see the liquid stain more on white compared to black?

Ancient-Sandwich9400 2026-02-04 12:48

Same here. Plus I’m pretty light sensitive, always have to wear sunglasses so having a bright interior is a no go for me. I’ve seen pictures and it looks like the inside is shining white light, big NO for me.

captainsaverebornII 2026-02-04 19:06

I see less white refresh M3 on the street then the other colors

adriasanchezig 2026-02-04 21:19

Are you from USA? In USA Stealth Grey is the free option, in Spain is the Pearl White

gre-0021 2026-02-04 22:15

Maybe they need so much care if you’re filthy 😂 if you just sit in them and drive the car like a normal person, baby wipes every couple of months will keep them looking basically new lol

CopperBlitter 2026-02-05 13:25

I have a MYLR AWD that is blue with white interior. I haven't noticed any issues with reflections at night. That shouldn't change your mind, though. You should get the color you want, especially if you're ordering new.

Thanks for letting us know. We were wondering. 👍🏻
