In an intriguing development, a recent drone flyover of Tesla's Giga Texas facility captured footage of a red Model Y that appeared to be painted in a striking deep red hue not currently offered in the company’s lineup. The drone footage, shared by seasoned Tesla observer Joe Tegtmeyer, took place in an area of the plant where castings are stored.
Tesla's existing color palette for the Model Y includes options such as Stealth Gray, Pearl White Multi-Coat, Deep Blue Metallic, Solid Black, Quicksilver, and Ultra Red. The Ultra Red shade, which debuted in March 2023 with a premium of $2,000, replaced the original Red Multi-Coat, introducing a deeper yet brighter red. However, the Model Y seen on the flyover displayed a darker tone, suggesting it might belong to an unannounced paint variant.
While there have been sightings of a Midnight Cherry Red Model Y at the facility, the recently observed vehicle hinted at a distinct shade that seemed to blend brightness with depth, reminiscent of Tesla's early Signature Red option. This particular hue was last available during the initial Model 3 launch, raising questions about its potential return.
Tesla’s approach to vehicle colors has generally been understated, but their affinity for bold reds is evident. The unexpected appearance of this new red shade at Giga Texas could indicate that Tesla is preparing to enrich its color offerings, potentially making its electric vehicles even more visually striking in the future. As fans eagerly speculate, the mystery of the deep red Model Y adds to the excitement surrounding Tesla's innovations.
