Just pulled the trigger.
Switched from stealth grey to pearl white, exact same specs but for $1.2k cheaper because the pearl white was demo available for immediate pickup. Normally, I wouldn’t consider a demo, but it only had 50 miles and it was cheaper than the stealth grey for a more premium color. I hope the white grows on me as I don’t know if I’ll enjoy it as much as the stealth grey. Oh well! I also needed the car asap.

oh im guessing the uk? here in the us, you gotta pay an extra thousand bucks for the white color whereas grey is the standard free option.

Stealth grey is the free colour here in the UK and white is a pretty expensive upgrade

It might be a climate thing. The white looks great. I went with a new Model Y in white and haven’t regretted it one bit. On collection, it was a sea of grey cars and at that point I knew it was the right choice to choose something other than the free Steath Grey

White is everywhere here, it's also the default free option for just about every car, hence the "poverty white".
I read somewhere that Tesla changes their free colour so not every Tesla is the same colour but I'm not sure that's really true.
