Tesla Model Y: Colours & Options 2024 | Which should you pick?
Back to 'Expert guides'Tesla’s Model Y is consistently one of the most popular EVs among lease customers, and it’s clear to see what’s behind its success: a practical SUV body shape, classless styling, potent performance and impressive range all play a part in its appeal.
But if you’ve got your heart set on one, what spec should you choose? What are the colours options?
We’ve put together a guide focused on the colour and wheel options for the Model Y in 2024. Here’s what you need to now.
Tesla Model Y colours 2024
- Pearl White - £0
- Solid Black - £1,300
- Deep Blue Metallic - £1,300
- Midnight Cherry Red - £2,600
- Quicksilver - £2,600
Pearl White (no additional cost)
Tesla likes to keep things simple when it comes to spec, and its colours are no exception. As such, the only no-cost option for a Model Y is Pearl White. This isn’t a metallic finish, but that’s not really a problem. After all, most cars look great in white.
No wonder that it’s one of the most popular car colours in the UK. And white cars are actually easier to keep clean than you might think.
Solid Black (£1,300)
For an extra £1,300, you can choose to have your Model Y in black. Again, this is a solid paint colour, so it’s not metallic. But the Model Y’s flowing lines really lend themselves to this hue.
It’s worth bearing in mind that black cars can be difficult to keep clean though, so if you’re not a fan of cracking out the bucket and sponge on a Sunday morning, you’d be better off with a different colour.
Deep Blue Metallic (£1,300)
This shade does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a really deep colour and, being metallic, it has an extra sparkle when the sun hits it. Spec the right wheels, and it really looks the part.
It’s also arguably better value for money than solid black; it’s the same price as this hue, but not metallic.
Midnight Cherry Red (£2,600)
Red cars have had a bit of a renaissance of late, and this deep and vibrant hue is the one to go for if you want your Model Y to stand out from the pack.
At £2,600, it will add quite a bit to your monthly payment though, so you’ll have to really want it to make it worth the extra cost. As ever, that’ll come down to your personal preferences.
Quicksilver (£2,600)
Quicksilver is more understated than the red option, although it costs the same. The deep, slate grey really sparkles, and it’s one of the best colours at hiding road grime – worth a thought if you do lots of miles.
Stunningly glossy, it might not seem like the most original choice, but it certainly lends itself to the Model Y well. Whether it’s worth £2,600 is up to you.
What about the wheels?
19in Gemini (no cost)
There are three options of wheels with the Model Y. The no-cost option across the range is the 19in Gemini wheel trims. These are actually plastic, although they still look great and have been designed to ensure aerodynamics are as impressive as possible – very important for electric vehicles.
20in Induction (£2,100)
Also on offer are the 20in Induction wheels, which are priced at £2,100. They look great, and the darker colour lends itself well to several colours like the Deep Blue Metallic and Midnight Cherry Red.
21in Uberturbine (no cost, Performance model only)
At the top of the range, and only available on the Performance model, are the 21in “Uberturbine” alloys. These look very similar to the Induction wheels, but are an inch larger in diameter. They come at no extra cost if you opt for the range-topping Performance Model Y.
