Stunning New Tesla Release: Quicksilver Model 3 Now at Giga Shanghai

For electric vehicle aficionados, the unveiling of the Tesla Model 3 in Quicksilver is big news. As of now, countries supplied by Tesla's Giga Shanghai can place their orders for the reengineered Model 3 sedan, now draped in the eye-catching Quicksilver paint. This new color option isn’t just any paint; it’s a work of art that was first limited to Model Y units produced at Giga Berlin. The expansion of this paint option to the Model 3 is a move that many Tesla fans have long anticipated.
If you take a glance at Tesla’s order page for the updated Model 3 in China, you'll find that Quicksilver is now a selectable paint option. Priced at RMB 12,000 ($1,650), it is as affordable as it is stunning. This price matches that of Ultra Red, which has already stirred excitement in the United States.

Photos of the reengineered Model 3 sporting the Quicksilver hue are impressive. Quicksilver is part of a duo of special paint options released for the Giga Berlin-made Model Y back in October 2022. This paint was created in Giga Berlin's advanced paint shop, capable of applying up to 13 layers that enhance the paint’s depth, dimension, and provide a hand-painted look.
The Intricacies of Quicksilver Paint
Quicksilver is not just any metallic paint; it is a highly pigmented marvel designed to change its appearance depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions. This makes it an ideal match for the redesigned Tesla Model 3, especially the Performance variant. The aggressive front and rear of the Model 3 Performance are perfectly complemented by Quicksilver’s striking depth and dimension, enhancing the vehicle’s overall aesthetic appeal.
In the vibrant world of Tesla news, this development is significant. Social media is abuzz with mentions and promotions of the Model 3 Quicksilver. One Twitter entry captures the excitement succinctly, with aerial footage from China showing the paint option's popularity among Model Y owners. Given its reception, it's not a far stretch to predict a similar wave of enthusiasm for the Quicksilver Model 3 sedan.
A Growing Popularity
Since its introduction, Quicksilver has graced Model Y vehicles built not only in Giga Shanghai but also in Giga Texas, albeit in limited quantities. This exclusivity has only driven up its desirability. For months, drone footage capturing the Giga Shanghai facility has shown a steady stream of Quicksilver-painted Model Ys lining up for export. This warm reception suggests that the Quicksilver paint option will likely become a fast favorite among Model 3 buyers as well.
Overall, the Quicksilver paint option marks a significant step in Tesla’s ongoing commitment to combining aesthetic excellence with cutting-edge technology. For now, Tesla enthusiasts and potential Model 3 buyers have a new variant to consider—one that doesn't just promise top-tier performance but also stands out spectacularly in the automotive landscape.
