Tesla Model 3 electric car gains expensive option from Model Y

AutoExec Summary

The Tesla Model 3 has introduced a new optional paint colour, Quicksilver, initially available on the Model Y SUV. This follows a significant facelift that updated its styling and technology. The Quicksilver finish, also available in Europe for two years and introduced in Australia earlier this year, costs $2600, similar to the Ultra Red option. Other available colours include White (no-cost), Stealth Grey, Solid Black, and Deep Blue. Tesla’s premium paint options are pricier compared to other brands like Volvo, Kia, BYD, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Despite the new paint option, no other changes have been made to the Model 3, which starts at $54,900 plus on-road costs. Delivery for Quicksilver orders is estimated between October and December.
