Absolutely! Trends can shift quickly. Also, customers often gravitate towards classic colors for better resale, so it might be a safe bet with Red.
While both colors are fantastic, I wonder if Ultra Red is too bold for some buyers. Color might influence interest more than we think, especially in a resale market.
That’s an interesting thought! But some buyers might love that boldness. I think it really depends on the demographic of potential buyers.
From the resale market trends, unique colors can sometimes fetch a premium. However, traditional colors tend to have a broader appeal. Anyone looked at recent auction statistics for insights?
Good point! I’ve seen that too. Sometimes rare colors become the most sought after, but it can be risky!

Let’s not forget about maintenance! If you plan to keep the car for a long time, think about how visible dirt and scratches will be on both colors.
Very true! Darker colors can hide dirt better, but that could also affect how buyers perceive the car’s condition when it’s time to resell.
I also wonder if insurance quotes vary depending on the color. Sometimes, insurers consider color when determining rates. Anyone checked on that?

I haven’t looked into that! But it’s a good angle. If the color affects insurance, it might also sway your overall cost of ownership!
I’ve seen Ultra Red being a hit among younger buyers, while older demographics might prefer traditional colors. Who’s your target market?
That’s a great insight! If you’re aiming for a younger crowd, Ultra Red could resonate better. However, keep in mind broader preferences too.
Honestly, I’ve always believed that Red is classic. But if you want to stand out, go for the Ultra Red! Just make sure you love it because resale can be unpredictable!
I’ve owned my Tesla in Ultra Red for two years now, and I can say the paint has held up well overall. The color is vibrant, but I do notice scratches if you’re not careful. Regular washing helps maintain that gloss!

That’s helpful, dreynolds! I’ve been leaning towards the regular Red since I’ve heard it tends to mask dirt better. Any thoughts on that?
I’m currently driving a Tesla in Red. It’s true that dirt is less visible, but I have to admit my car looks dull after a few weeks without a wash. Ultra Red definitely has that stunning depth!
I agree! I’ve seen both colors in person, and the Ultra Red is eye-catching. But I wonder if it gets more attention from scratches?
In my experience with a Red Tesla, scratches are definitely noticeable, especially under sunlight. Preparation with a good wax before winter really makes a difference in keeping the paint intact.
I’ve heard the Ultra Red can be harder to clean due to its reflective surface. Is that true? I love the color, but maintenance is a huge factor for me.
I have both colors in my neighborhood. Honestly, the Ultra Red always looks more vibrant, but I do notice more fingerprints and smudges. It might need that bit more attention!
That’s interesting! Since the Red shows scratches, I’m curious if anyone has tried ceramic coating on either color? I’d imagine that helps a lot.
