Looks good - want to see in person.

nvrendr 2025-04-04 18:35

Meet the new black, same as the old black

cwhiterun 2025-04-04 18:37

So it's just black but they added glitter to it?

No-Cryptographer9326 2025-04-04 18:37

So basically the same crappy black they had before that would chip by just staring at it.

cad908 2025-04-04 18:45

TL;DR "Diamond Black" there's 34 seconds of your life back.

PresentationMajor925 2025-04-04 19:03

Thanks! Have a good weekend!

“What do we have to win back customers?” “Glitter.”

If you mean the formerly free black, that was flat. This has metallic sparkles in it. God help your wallet if you ever need to re-spray a panel.

nvrendr 2025-04-04 19:09

*insert Owen Wilson saying wow*

DyZ814 2025-04-04 20:19

lol pretty much

hiddenlands 2025-04-04 20:25

Officially known as reichschwarz.

VeryRealHuman23 2025-04-04 20:33

Everyone else calls it metallic, but yeah.

Matt_NZ 2025-04-04 21:31

So, Obsidian Black from the original Model 3 launch is back again?

Matt_NZ 2025-04-04 21:32

For the original Model 3 launch, there was also Obsidian Black. This looks to be coming back again

SwayingTreeGT 2025-04-04 21:35

I didn’t really like modern Tesla’s black because it had no depth. This is a welcome change.

t3hWheez 2025-04-04 21:59

Siegblack!

feurie 2025-04-04 22:02

That’s what metallic paint is.

MikeHeu 2025-04-04 22:40

Or simply metallic black

[deleted] 2025-04-05 00:06

Doesn’t bmw call it the same name

Ebonvvings 2025-04-05 00:09

So basically a black thats already dirty. Save you about 2 hours of driving, i guess

strawboard 2025-04-05 00:17

Saw it today at the showroom; it looked really really good.

Why I hate their white. Makes them look like eggs

VideoGameJumanji 2025-04-05 05:10

This will go nicely with their ten different shades of grey.

VideoGameJumanji 2025-04-05 05:22

The pearl white does have a pearlescent shine to it but only when it’s absolutely clean lmao

Fearless_Working985 2025-04-05 05:25

I bought mine with a matte wrap on it, it looks so much cleaner than whatever paint Tesla uses. I dread the day it has to come off, or be replaced 😂

VideoGameJumanji 2025-04-05 05:37

No wonder yours looks like an “egg” then lmfao. Mine looks perfectly fine, matte will tend to look dirtier faster anyways based on all the matte grey and blacks I’ve seen.

Fearless_Working985 2025-04-05 05:42

I was referring to the regular color. You can see a picture of mine on my profile, it's still white and egg-ish but I vastly prefer it to the factory paint underneath

alpha333omega 2025-04-05 19:35

Finally. The other black was one of the worst in the industry.

szzzn 2025-04-06 04:22

Can you notice the speckles like does it look like a starry night all the time or is it super subtle or what?

strawboard 2025-04-06 06:56

Yea very noticeable, the black looks flat and boring compared to it.

Quin1617 2025-04-06 13:44

Obscuring info like that in titles should be a bannable offense.

Timely-Ad-3400 2025-04-06 13:47

Do you mean the old black looks boring? I am considering this color but want it to look black not a glittery black (dont mind the gloss) Wish they shared more pictures so that we can make a more informed choice while ordering (there are no cars in this color in showrooms here in Texas)

Southern-Stay704 2025-04-06 14:34

Exactly, this is the same as the old Obsidian Black that was available for about 3 months at the model 3 launch in 2018.

strawboard 2025-04-06 15:37

Yea the old black, they still had a sample of the black on the wall with the other colors, and I looked at it, and was like this isn’t what’s on the wall. From far away I couldn’t notice, the car looked like dark charcoal color. I even asked the guy the color, but don’t remember what he said, maybe it was before the announcement so he wasn’t clear. When I got close, the sparkles in the paint were noticeable. I just remember it looked really good, but didn’t realize it was a whole new color until seeing this thread.

wedditasap 2025-04-06 18:11

Can’t decide if cool or looks like a bowling ball Need some non stock photos and in various lighting

szzzn 2025-04-07 14:10

Surely we’ll get some pictures this week of how it looks in the wild right? Waiting to see it before ordering.

Fancy_Load5502 2025-04-07 20:07

Man, I wish they'd bring back regular old silver. I see a silver Model 3 every now and again and it looks sweet.

szzzn 2025-04-08 15:08

Crazy we still don’t have a real life photo of how this looks.
