Climate Implications Of Tesla’s “Free Color” Change
So, with that logic in mind, it seems that white cars would offer similar heat and climate benefits, right? Well, as someone who lives in Florida, I can tell you that having the white paint and white seats on a Tesla Model 3 makes the carcooler than a Model 3 with dark grey paint and black seats. I had one of the latter for half a day and could not believe how much hotter it was. Needless to say, purely for comfort, I’d never want a dark car with dark seats in Florida.
However, something else came to mind as I came to write this article. What about cold climates? You probably want to absorb heat and avoid having to use the heater as much in cold climates, so you may want dark colors there. However, with little sunshine in the cold, how much does the darker color actually help to absorb heat? Also, generally speaking, research recommends white roofs for less heat and lower CO2 emissions, and as you may have noticed above, NYC is not in the South.
What do you say? Is changing from white to “Midnight Silver” a bad move at a time when we keep seeingAlso, more broadly, did Tesla make the change because there aremany white Teslas on the roads now and Tesla/Elon Musk is concerned that they’re getting too common and — dare we say —Update: I realized after publishing that people might like to know how much extra it costs to get a color other than grey .
