it home reported on september 2 that a recent drone video of tesla's giga texas factory showed a striking red model y. the car seems to have been painted in a yet-to-be-released crimson color, which is different from the body color currently offered by tesla.

on the model y ordering page in the united states, the model offers colors such as stealth gray, pearl white multi-coat, deep blue metallic, solid black, quicksilver or ultra red. ultra red was launched in march 2023 and is priced at us$2,000 (it home note: currently about rmb 14,202). it was initially applicable to model s and model x, and later expanded to model 3 and model y.

ultra red replaces tesla's previous red multi-coat color, and while it offers a bright red hue, it's not as deep as giga berlin's midnight cherry red, while the model y recently spotted at giga texas sports an even darker shade of red than ultra red.

while tesla has brought the model y to giga texas in midnight cherry red in the past, the color of the recently seen model y looks brighter. the paint appears to be nearly identical to one of tesla's original trademarked colors, signature red, which was used on the model s and model x. tesla has not offered signature red paint since the first model 3 deliveries began.

although tesla has been fairly conservative with its vehicle color choices over the years, the electric car maker is very fond of red. the model y recently spotted at giga texas appears to be in a red hue that is neither ultra red nor midnight cherry red, which suggests tesla may be considering launching another red paint color.
