Tesla starts Lunar Silver Model X and S deliveries

Tesla has started deliveries for Model X and Model S in Lunar Silver color. The latest update follows the official announcement of this new paint late last month.

Lunar silver is a clean silver color with a pronounced metallic effect and a slight blue tint. With new pigments, the pain brings a technical and dynamic feel that accentuates the form of these two models in contact with sunlight.

Despite a nearly identical name, the Quicksilver color offered for Model Y appears different. It comprises a liquid metal effect that changes appearance based on sunlight direction.

However, the lunar blue looks attractive among these two and is more premium than quicksilver. The delivery update has been posted on the social media site X and the online Tesla community.

It shows that the company is on track to deliver this model fast enough. On the other hand, the EV maker is showing similar delivery dates for Model Y but customers have reported order delays for Quicksilver.

It may come down to the price factor, most customer chooses Model 3 and Model Y, which starts at almost half of the price tag compared to Model S and X.

The Model S comes in two trims – All Wheel Drive and Plaid priced at $72,990 and $87,990 respectively. The Model X starts at $77,990 for All Wheel Drive and $92,990 for Plaid. Compared to Model S, the Model X’s AWD variant is eligible for a $7,500 Federal tax credit.

The Lunar Silver color costs $2,500 extra adding it to the range of paid options – Ultra Red, Solid Black, Deep Metallic Blue, and White.
