In April someone can compare the delivered car to the store sample. That will convince me. My guess is that the Miami store red is not the red we will get

Enjoy your waiting

@frank;
did you catch the little zinger in that Detroit interview that a store is being prepared in Bejing, and the Elon wants to produce as many parts as possible in China (for the Chinese version/market?).

I think he meant for all markets. We all know that it cost a lot less to produce parts in China because people make a few hundred dollars a month and each part costs 10 times less to produce. I think 90% of everything is made in China today

The investment newsletter touts are saying now that 3D printing is going to wipe out foreign sourcing in general and Chinese manufacturing in particular.

About the Multi-Coat red, it occurs to me that maybe it means Pot Luck Red, that there are multiple possible coats you might get. ;) !B-0

Any news with new Red? Anybody wants to share his thoughts?

'steveflaherty' (P7460) in the latest delivery thread said that he is expecting his Red with a Feb. 21st - Mar. 7th estimated delivery date.

OK, I need to call Tesla right now since I'm P4605! Will update if I get any feedback.

Sunset Red, but applied in a Multi-Coat way.

Ohms.Law: I really hope that photo is truly showing the new red. That color is the red I was hoping for. It really matches the sample in the stores.

hwye81k - I'm reasonably sure it is the same red. In fact all the reds we've been seeing since last summer are the same red IMO. The difference is that people are being fooled by how this red looks under the fluorescent lighting indoors - darker. Take the same sample, or car, outside in bright sunlight as I have and it looks much brighter. Sunset red, new red, multi-layer red, Motor Trend COTY studio red - all the same red. In know, I know, some will vehemently deny this. Perhaps you'll be proven right. But my money is that this is pretty much all the same red. We'll soon know.

It's been several days since this site has been updated. Has anyone heard any recent news when this red will start to be delivered? Tesla has exceeded most other promises so far.

I doubt Tesla will push the new Red out before March 1. The only possible case I've heard is on the delivery thread, in which user 'steveflaherty' (P7460) said that his delivery date is between Feb 21 and Mar 7 and already has the delivery button on his design page.

My reservation number is lower but when I called Tesla up, they still insist earliest is March and I have no delivery button on my design page as of today. :/
