Help with color choice.

I don’t know what to pick anymore so I’m going to take suggestions, I’m going to be buying a 2024 model 3 performance soon, and I’m completely stuck whether I should get quick silver or white, both with white interior. quick silver is very nice but I feel like it will only look good on certain lightings, and look like a basic silver in other lightings and at night. But the white I had on my previous performance which was a 2021, I loved it but I want to get something different and it also is a basic color but I also love how white looks at night and white on white in unmatched in my opinion. Any suggestions❓

Honestly I feel like 90% are white and something different is the way to go

brayjr 2026-02-10 19:40

Quick Silver. No question

xxtremlockxx 2026-02-10 19:52

Silver 100%

QS. White is overplayed. Source: Me with a white Model 3

silver

Thomas5020 2026-02-10 20:11

Silver. I remember collecting my car. Entire car park filled with white cars with the default wheels. Looked boring, soulless, corporate. Then there was mine in shiny red with the upgraded wheels. Looks like a totally different vehicle and stands out. Get the silver.

dr3zga 2026-02-10 20:14

Why not ultra red?

Koning-Admiraal 2026-02-10 20:23

Silver. Or just get any colour and wrap it in the colour you like.

Frequent_Arm_277 2026-02-10 20:28

Red looks sporty but less aggressive in my opinion, nice color though

Fabulous_Scale4771 2026-02-10 20:37

Personally white. The contrast of the black wheels an and the white color makes it look more aggressive.

Shakurs2pac 2026-02-10 20:37

White is played out. Silver out of these two. But for a performance, nothing comes close to ultra red

dlogrttocs 2026-02-10 20:43

Blue with white interior or Red imo

timbermans 2026-02-10 20:48

White to highlight the black accents. The pearl shines amazing during day but is also basic at night like the silver might be. The silver looks like they forgot to paint it.

Sundogg98 2026-02-10 20:48

I like the white, but if that was your last car, maybe change it up!

ehas23 2026-02-10 20:53

Way too many red and silver going around. White is more rare.

sim16 2026-02-10 20:54

Red

salchi-john 2026-02-10 21:04

White looks more aggressive imho

HapiHapii 2026-02-10 21:31

I've had my M3P for 5 years in white. Get it in silver. Every bit of mud, rain splatter, highway grit... Etc. you'll see all of it and will be washing it all the time.

cherrytoffee 2026-02-10 21:42

silver only looks good when its clean and ceramic coated. otherwise it looks dull.

IndubitablEV 2026-02-10 22:04

The quicksilver is amazing. Pops in bright or low light conditions. Looks cleaner much longer between washes. White looks bad when dirty and not thrilling to wash either. Silver hands down.

yogghurt22 2026-02-10 22:21

Quick silver is amazing. I ordered mine in marine blue but I’m starting to consider swapping to quick silver haha

Wide-Patient5559 2026-02-10 22:26

Ultra red

Previous_Ad770 2026-02-10 22:28

I had the same dilemma as you. I usually go for white but wanted to try something different. https://preview.redd.it/i3ol8yuwtqig1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a0593c33bffa8d4725e07e6e077565bad7f58a7

wrathslayer 2026-02-10 22:43

Quick Silver is always the correct answer :)

onlytony441 2026-02-10 22:44

Quick Silver is just too good.

Dteal23 2026-02-10 22:58

White looks like a rental car or work vehicle in all lighting situations lol, get the silver and keep it clean. Congrats either way.

Legitimate-Space-279 2026-02-10 23:02

White looks so sick but they’re everywhere. Silver but with brushed aluminum rims would be epic

Panda-Cubby 2026-02-10 23:02

One of each.

mrtunavirg 2026-02-10 23:06

The only thing I’ll add is that if you’re going to tint the windows consider the black interior. I have the white with tinted windows and you can see inside much easier.

huh_say_what_now_ 2026-02-10 23:15

White and if you get bored just wrap it any colour you like

eddietheteacher 2026-02-10 23:25

White w/ black accents. My fav.

theolivierb 2026-02-11 01:39

Quicksilver with black interior is the way to go!

Affectionate_Town273 2026-02-11 01:49

Black

Armoredpolecat 2026-02-11 02:27

QS looks a lot more classy.

bossman-808 2026-02-11 03:00

No.

Impossible_Nerve_203 2026-02-11 03:04

It's all been done, hasn't been a unique Tesla since 2010's...sorry. Save cash, take whatever cheapest and put the rest in an index fund.

world_tsar 2026-02-11 07:47

2019. Default color was black. I paid extra for white. White became default l o l

Coveal33 2026-02-11 10:10

Silver. I had a white M3 Standard and now a 2024 M3P in QuickSilver. Looks much more refined.

F26N55 2026-02-11 12:41

I like the white because when my car is clean I enjoy the slight pearlescent/rainbow effect from the paint.

Bruni_kde 2026-02-11 12:56

Very personal choice. I like the white more, but both look nice. If colors were not that ridiculously high priced with teslas, I would choose the blue one.

Bruni_kde 2026-02-11 12:57

And yes, if you want to stand out, do not buy the white one.

Weird-Fan55555 2026-02-11 13:38

Silver! I rarely see them on the road and they are soooooo pretty! I have a white one and love it but see them everywhere!

TrubbishBish 2026-02-11 16:28

After owning 20-ish cars in white, gray, or silver, I’ve grown tired of the mundane automotive palette and will be choosing something different for my next vehicle. That being said, if it has to be white or silver: silver.

Frequent_Arm_277 2026-02-11 16:37

Yes that’s my concern but the thing is I’d keep it clean

Frequent_Arm_277 2026-02-11 16:37

This is nice

HmmDoesItMakeSense 2026-02-11 22:36

I'm so happy I picked QS with white interior.

word-dragon 2026-02-11 23:01

Had a white 2020 and traded it in for 2025 quicksilver. Love the quicksilver, but I think they are both gorgeous. Not a big fan of white interiors (3 grandkids), so both interiors were black. A lot less work to keep clean, I think.

idkausernamerntbh 2026-02-11 23:02

White on the performance imo (QS is way to overhyped and doesn’t look all that great imo probably my least favorite color lunar silver is where it’s at)

Armaced 2026-02-11 23:21

White has the highest resale value, if that matters to you. Personally, I prefer blue, but then I bought a used white model X and I love it, so what do I know?

matthewralston 2026-02-11 23:52

Quick Silver. Picking mine up in a couple of weeks. ☺️

Mindless-Safe-7812 2026-02-12 00:25

grey with dark tinted windows 🥴😮‍💨

AccordingBoot6393 2026-02-12 00:46

I have the silver

Strong_Batman 2026-02-12 01:18

I have white on white and think it's the best contrast between everything. My 2nd choice would've been a tie between red and silver

jroman-1987 2026-02-12 01:32

White

jroman-1987 2026-02-12 01:33

This is true I’ve had mine for 3 weeks now and I’ve washed it gotta be 8 times.

doctoredrx 2026-02-12 03:51

Easy decision. Silver. 💯

KrunchyCyberkookie 2026-02-12 23:11

Ever considered Ultra Red with a black interior?

PatienceBig9727 2026-02-13 02:46

you already had white, try something different

Frequent_Arm_277 2026-02-13 18:39

I’m getting red now lol

standardphysics 2026-02-13 22:35

They're both tricoat metallic finishesvbut you are actually noticing real differences between them. White is more of a pearl glow that makes the body lines pop while quicksilveris more about metallic brightness and tone at different angles. Really, each has their own strengths, and if you still love white, it is the most consistent-looking across lighting. White is reliably clean and sharp and quicksilver looks more dramatic in certain conditions and flatter in others.

Early-Yesterday3666 2026-02-14 06:48

QS, i have one too and it is killer

SpikeyTwitch20 2026-02-14 09:04

My last one was while and the new one is Quicksilver. Hands down, Quicksilver is an incredible colour even if it’s dirty. Ngl, I do find myself staring at red but when dirty, looks awful and the UK weather isn’t too friendly towards clean cars.

SpikeyTwitch20 2026-02-14 09:07

My last one (DM) was white and my new one (performance) is Quicksilver. Hands down, Quicksilver is an incredible colour even if it’s dirty or weird light. It always has those amazing shade contours and you can tell it’s a special colour. Ngl, I do find myself staring at red but when dirty, looks awful and the UK weather isn’t too friendly towards clean cars.

Jealous-Comparison64 2026-02-14 18:04

Quicksilver for suuuure

His-idea 2026-02-15 03:47

Silver 💯

djkool_yanky 2026-02-15 13:12

Grey

Nokida 2026-02-15 15:01

I may be biased as I own a white M3P. Silver now is the free color (white one was before). Both colors technically saturated the roads. My wife owns a silver MY. I'd say go with white if it's free (don't pay extra for just a color.. Couple of years won't matter). White really highlights the black rims and once you tint it. It also best on hot summer days as it reflects heat. Downside is it does get dirtier easier.

Square-Debate5181 2026-02-17 04:13

PEARL white looks good thb
