My 2024 Quicksilver Model Y is here

Thank you. I’ve got it scheduled for ceramic coating and PPF on the front end. Hope to achieve this look:
I haven't seen Quicksilver in person yet, but I suspect it's like the Soul Red Crystal Metallic on my Miata.
Sitting in the garage or on a cloudy day or at night, it look like an ordinary "dark red metallic".
In direct sunlight, it transforms into something completely different.

Now if I could just have the spotlights follow me wherever I go, that would be awesome. 
Should be no problem with multiple, overhead spot lights.
Haha! The fangs were just a fun thing for Halloween…that kinda grew on me…so I left them. They started out as vinyl stickers my mom made then I made 3D printed versions. I rarely drive the car - 10K miles in 4.5 years and even less so after buying a Tesla a year ago.
Looking through the forum linked below shows many pictures of the Berlin color in different lighting conditions
Looks the same to me as the US one ; saw one today parked outside a local SC in MA - stopped for a closer look.
Color definitely looks best under some spot lights
Even some of the forum comments are similar with some finding it more grey less silver depending on the lighting conditions.
That's about right. It's a liquidy silver when freshly washed and under high-contrast light (like bright sun). With a coating of dust or under flat lighting, it's quite gray.
I miss my Supra a lot hoping this will help I owned for 22 years 97-2018 had to sell in a hurry to help parents out so took less than I should have bought a volt outright that showed me I loved electric but it is not fast at all now I am waiting on a 2024 MYP in stealth grey with white interior. Have been thinking of looking for smaller wheels 21 just to big for me. ( mine was a 94 red but on side note about low build numbers I missed out on a 93 white hardtop turbo 1 of 8 or 9 only owned by getrag NA 8k miles because was only used for getrag promos and had been warehouse stored. Battery and fuel pump had been replaced original tires were still on it. I was waiting on paycheck so I only offered 48,500 instead of 50 they wanted and I also thought that had me in good for at least a chance to compete another offer which I thought they would not get bc they were not on Supraforums but toyotanation which I happened to be on bc was changing my mom transmission in a Avalon. Anyway I guess someone offered 55 instantly and I missed it. Been searching vin for years finally popped up about 8-12 months ago a pot dealer in Connecticut had died in his ware house with it and a ton of other high end cars including about 6 Supras. He missed his court date for large quantity of marijauna when they looked for him found him dead apparently he bought a old firehouse in his moms name lived above it keep tons of cars inside it…
Sorry for being off topic but thought another super owner would be interested . Also glad to hear OP poster description of ride and acceleration.
Congratulations! Now, you need to sign up for CapitalOne QuickSilver card!

Off topic: Mine was a '98 Targa TT Quicksilver. I think there were 28 of those made if I recall. It was definitely my dream car and when I had my first solid year I got a Tag Heuer, that Supra and a GMC Typhoon.... my other dream car growing up. Of course, I had posters of Lambos on my bedroom wall too but I'm talking more attainable dream cars at that time.
Back on topic: We got a 2024 MY Stealth Gray/White too but ours is a LR. The 19's was one of the major reasons I opted for that. Plus it's our road trip vehicle and my wife's commuter so the LR just made the most sense. You really can feel the difference in ride quality between the 21's and 19's on these. Not to mention the increased range, decreased tire costs and better all season options, etc.
That said, if Tesla gets crazy on the new MY prices again for EoQ or EoY I'll have a hard time not getting another one. This one would likely replace my P100D (silver/white) so I'd get a Performance and I'd most likely have to go Quicksilver even though I love the new Ultra Red too. I may need to venture down to the local Service Center to see the new Quicksilver in person to see how it stacks up to the Toyota color of the same name from the 90's.
I did want the quicksilver but was young and found a great deal on internet before they were popular. I got my renaissance red 94TT with 16k miles on it for $24,500 got very lucky bc the 97 vette came out and was as low as 40k at introduction so Supra cut price on there last 2 years to keep up they actually did not sell well when new even though all the magazines had it crushing basically everything including the testerossa they made the 512TR testarossa because the Supra was compared to it in British mag and won. I think America was not quite ready for 53k Toyota the Nissan 300zx tt was getting the good press here for a few years prior to Supra introduction.
I live in wv and they were building a Toyota plant near by and the temporary corp office was across street from where I was working and I saw the presidents green 97 TT anniversary addition and was in love after that but never thought I would be able to afford I was looking for used rx7 and dodge stealth rt
When I found mine online in Decatur ill internet was so new he mailed me a Polaroid my whole drive there I expected it to be a non turbo for some reason was just too good to be true I was 17 at the time and previous car was 93 ford probe so was quite a step up.
I liked the typhoon too but was more into the 3 main Japanese. carrs of the time well 300zx was bottom of my list and my dad was not ok with it because he drove corvette nd new it was compared to them. He didn’t think twice about me telling him I was buying a Toyota..
Well I’ll stop going on about the Supra but boy did I love that car and its transmission when I went single it was small dbb 61mm turbo made 517 whp at 17psi on pump gas and around 650on race which was only in there 3 -4 times had ccs sp500 it was my dream car I rebuilt it which all new bushings was best upgrade made it feel more solid and stiff than when new. Never planned to sell at first thought I would buy again but now I don’t think so unless it was literally my old car somehow. Also I started a company switching hospitals to e records and they got big bonus from government for doing it earlier than required anyway I had money t time to buy moat cars I was th8nking Porsche 911 tt or ford gt and couldn’t justify the money over just redoing existing Supra from ground up I bought a Subaru legacy spec b and got to work took me about 1.5 years
Sorry to anyone else in the thread I know it off topic but rarely get to talk about my Supra anymore
