Having second thoughts about color choice: Midnight Silver Metallic or Blue Metallic?

[EVRider-FL]

I ordered a Model S LR in Midnight Silver Metallic (MSM) with black interior, but I'm having second thoughts and am considering Deep Blue Metallic with white interior instead. My original delivery estimate was this month, but it's now April/May so I can probably change the color if I want to.

My first Model S was MSM with grey interior. My current S is white with black interior. The white looks nice, but I don't want to do it again because it shows every bit of dirt. My wife's Model 3 is Deep Blue Metallic with white interior, which I think looks great, but I've always thought the blue looked better on the 3 than on the S. I recently test drove a blue S. However, the MSM is kind of boring, so I'm reconsidering. I would probably choose the white interior with the blue. I think the new Ultra Red looks beautiful, but I don't need that much attention. If Silver Metallic was still offered, I'd probably choose that instead.

If you have a Deep Blue Metallic S, any regrets about the color choice? What's your interior color? Most blue inventory S cars in my area have the cream interior, but my wife's white interior (2018 3) looks great and has held up well.

My personal preference is the MSM as it's generally considered more "modern" than old school blue

But you have to buy what you prefer ofcourse

I love the Blue metallic plus white interior. When we buy or order a MY soon, that's the color it will be.

But then again, all our cars are blue.

I used to own a BMW Z4 with deep sea blue metallic paint and a bright white interior. That was a beaut.

If I were ordering a Y or 3, I wouldn’t hesitate to get the blue, but I’m not sure it looks as good on the S (or X). When I first started looking at Teslas in 2015, one of the cars I test drove was a darker navy blue that I really liked, but it was discontinued before I ordered my S.

Fwiw, my favorites are white/white or red/cream.

I've got a Model 3 in the blue and a Model Y in the MSM. It's a personal preference.
While there are probably a lot of people happy with the white seats, there are a lot of questions about cleaning them.

Take a look at the inventory near you and see if anything is available. It it is, then you can get it quick AND get the end of quarter Supercharger bonus.

I’ve been watching the inventory in my area, but the closest matches have hundreds of miles on them, so I’m not interested (and they’re not exact matches). I also want to be sure I get HW4 and the new glass roof. I don’t mind waiting for what I ordered (and bypassing the EOQ delivery madness), my only concern is getting a new trade in offer that’s lower than my current one.

Funny thing is, I think MSM is the only color that doesn’t go great with the white interior. So if you have to have white interior, go with blue.

I like MSM personally, it looks good even when the car is filthy.

I think I’ll stick with MSM and black interior. I wouldn’t consider the white interior with MSM. Thanks for your opinions.

Did you get the MY in Blue? I’m deliberating over the Blue or Silver.

I have a blue in order, considering swapping to Ultra red, after a 2year wait for delivery - if I ordered today it would be red. But changing would push delivery time past this quarter, so doesn’t really interest me.

Haven't ordered a new one or bought a used one yet. Waiting to sell off the old gas-guzzler ICE first.
We prefer the blue, but my wife says the MSM is ok if I "can get a better deal".

Love my Blue so much, black interior as I hate the look of the lighter wood.

Boring?!

I always lean black on interiors, but don't discount the white interior. My neighbor and I have the exact same spec MSP: MSM with 21" Arachnids but he went white on the interior and it looks stunning. I wear jeans a lot and schlep kids around who play field sports, so the thought of trying to keep the white clean made me stick with the black, but the black/white interior looks very good with the MSM.

I have MSM with tan interior and I love it.

I've got MSM on white. Love it. blue on white is fantastic. No wrong choice here. But, I love the white and since not real leather have zero issues with dye transfer or getting dirty. They wipe off easily and are less hot during sunny days.

Love my midnight silver metallic.
