dsm363 Looks nice. Think it is an improvement over the old blue (personal preference of course). Thanks Mike!�
Apr 8, 2015
AEdennis I'm partial to the old blue... Then again, we prefer the darker colors...�
Apr 8, 2015
ecarfan Very nice! That was taken at the HPWCs behind the Corte Madera showroom, I believe.�
Apr 8, 2015
bonnie Correct.�
Apr 8, 2015
siucity If so, I might have to take a detour on my way home.
(off topic, and I'm sure this has been answered, but are the HPWCs there available for owners to use?)�
Apr 8, 2015
Saghost Loving that Blue. Have to see what else they come up with in the next year or so to decide, but that certainly makes for a pretty car.
Walter�
Apr 8, 2015
Gizmotoy Same. I'm really happy they're starting to offer buyers something other than black, white, and red variants. I bet that blue looks sharp in the sun. You can get a feeling of it in the color transition on the front quarter panel.�
Apr 8, 2015
DDarrow Would love to see more pics of this color. Supposed to be finalizing my order this week, and want as much info as possible.�
Apr 8, 2015
green1 A green of that shade would be gorgeous. ..just sayin'. ..�
Apr 8, 2015
Cyclone I had decided against the darker blue when I saw a couple in Miami, dusty and dull looking. It didn't look good as a near-black and didn't look good as a blue in that state (for my tastes at least). So then I was solely looking at Steel Gray (love how similar it is to the Lexus "smokey gray mica") and the Pearl White. I knew these new colors were coming, but I wasn't excited based on the photos I saw. But this picture really speaks to me. This picture seems like a nice, deep metallic blue and would totally go on my list of colors. I guess I will need to see it in person because the design studio's images make me want to ignore the color. If it is like this in more lighting, this will be the color I end up with!�

andrewket I like ocean blue more than the original, but it's still too dark for me.�
Apr 8, 2015
dsm363 Agree. Would like a second blue closer to what BMW had for the M3 around 2003.�
Apr 8, 2015
Mr X Better than the dark blue but still a little bland
MC Red still my fav�

Alexander Ocean Blue Comparison (pictures of both)
Just snapped these two pictures at one of the service centers. I like the new blue! But here's a picture of both for your viewing enjoyment:
Ocean Blue on top - Metallic Blue on bottom

Apr 8, 2015
Rama My order finalizes today. I wish I could get a look at an ocean blue in the flesh. Guess I'll stick with black�
Apr 8, 2015
CHG-ON I like it much more than the original. Though it is not a color for me. But looks very nice.�
Apr 8, 2015
Griffinlair I do think the ocean blue is a neat color, but still prefer my original metallic blue�
Apr 8, 2015
Alexander I think what I like about the Ocean Blue is that there's no mistaking it for Black. For me the Metallic Blue looks black more often then it does blue. But its still a very nice color�
Apr 8, 2015
Griffinlair Obviously, paint choice is a very personal preference. The reason you don't care for the metallic blue (is it black or is it blue), is exactly the reason i love the color. It seems to have more of a "personality" that changes depending on weather conditions and lighting.
The Ocean blue to me(only pictures so far) appears to be always blue, no color shifting. So i prefer the metallic blue.
Anyway, to those who wanted a lighter Blue, now is your chance to get the car of your dreams, that is better than you currently imagine it will be, and will get better over time.�
Apr 8, 2015
mike-415 I took a bunch of real-life photos of an Ocean Blue 70D next to my (sadly dirty and dingy) Opulent Blue Cadillac. Even dirty, the Cadillac's shade is a more saturated blue. But the Ocean looks great!
�
Apr 8, 2015
3s-a-charm I love how Californians always say their cars are sooooo dirty - try living in our (Canadian) world! My car goes from detailed to looking like I went off-roading in the mountains in a matter of days. It's a futile battle! Your car looks super clean in these photos. It's all relative I guess.�
Apr 8, 2015
GregTexas Thanks for the pics. Solidified my color choice and also made me realize those standard wheels are fine. Saved me $2,500!�
Apr 8, 2015
AndreyATC This blue is perfect
Changes personality with the light, but still stays blue
�
Apr 8, 2015
tdelta1000 Beautiful!�
Apr 8, 2015
Owner I'm curious about the name. What ocean looks that blue?
Perhaps way underwater?�
Apr 8, 2015
Pinot.Noir You've not been to sea.....have you. I've seen the ocean in so many states of blue that I'd never know what Ocean Blue actually means.�
Apr 8, 2015
Paul Carter Reminds me of home. The ocean can look like a deep blue for sure. I was slightly happy with Warm Silver, but after seeing some more shots, I'm sold on this!
�
Apr 8, 2015
Pinot.Noir Perfect shot....and gorgeous. Is that your back yard?�
Apr 8, 2015
Paul Carter Almost, moved to the West Coast of Canada almost 20 years ago. It's Brig Bay harbour on the northern tip of Newfoundland. Just came across that one when looking for a typical pic of how blue the ocean looks from back home.�
Apr 8, 2015
Pinot.Noir Just added that to my bucket list. Thanks Paul!�
Apr 8, 2015
Benjamin Brooks Yes�
Apr 8, 2015
DDarrow Ugh. So torn. Was really hoping for something a little more like BMW's Montego Blue which looks a lot like what is on the homepage at tesla.com. But these pics look significantly darker than that. Kinda wish I had pulled the trigger on my Gray, Gray, Gray configuration before the wife saw this new blue.�
Apr 8, 2015
Pinot.Noir Don't you love these first world problems that cause us so much angst?
�
Apr 8, 2015
gpetti Ditto!
Actually in som lighting my car doesn't look a whole lot different than these photos of ocean blue.�
Apr 9, 2015
Beckler So the real-world pictures tell the real story: it's just another pointless dull shade of navy.�
Apr 9, 2015
timf I'm happy with the look of Ocean Blue, and that it stays blue even in the dark or cloudy weather. It reminds me a lot of the color I previously had on a Ford Edge.
I do agree Tesla should be more adventurous with colors since all the cars are custom ordered. The only reason most car companies have bland palettes is because that's what dealers find easiest to sell. You'll rarely find bright colors on a lot even if the manufacturers show them online. There is no reason for Tesla to follow this trend, and I hope the new paint shop will allow them to branch out even more over time.�
Apr 9, 2015
mdevp Hate to say it, but the Caddy blue is better looking IMO.�
Apr 9, 2015
HHHH I think so too, judging only by that photo. It'll be interesting to see the new Ocean Blue in other lights.�
Apr 9, 2015
Majerus Looks very dark , concerning the picture on the website..�
Apr 9, 2015
ecarfan I stopped at Corte Madera today on my way home from work to look at that Ocean Blue 70D in person. Even though I have never owned a blue car, and have no plans to, I thought the color looks great! Now I want to see a Warm Silver car in person.
�
Apr 9, 2015
ENZA very nice!�
Apr 9, 2015
Saghost Nice comparison. The I do like the Blue Topaz Metallic a little better (at least, that's what they called that color when the Volt came in it,) but Ocean Blue holds up very well to it - just a slight shade darker.
It's also interesting to see the contrast between the hard edges of Cadillac's "Arts and Sciences" design language vs Tesla's sleek curves.
Walter�
Apr 10, 2015
breser Excuse my cross posting here (posted this is the older Blue thread but saw this thread and figured it belonged here as well).
Saw an Ocean Blue 70D tonight at the Bellevue, WA store (actually were in the mall for other reasons stopped by the store to look at the new color samples and they told me they had a blue one downstairs so we swung by). This is still at night but in the relatively well lit parking area.
�
Apr 11, 2015
chriSharek Saghost, me too! Love the new blue. If you wanted dark blue or you liked the old blue, just order the black. It's about the same.
- - - Updated - - -
DDarrow, why GRAY, GRAY, GRAY? That could be the most boring color configuration IMO! Really?
And I really don't mean any disrespect at all. I just can't imagine ordering that configuration - I believe this car needs to pop . . I was hoping for a burnt orange new color myself!�
Apr 11, 2015
xhawk101 Agree on burnt orange or yellow canary or maybe lime green�
Apr 11, 2015
Saghost That's an interesting point. With the P85D, Tesla is now drawing the "look at me, I'm the fastest car on the block" crowd to a much greater extent than ever before, and the only color they have now that's at all suitable to them is the MC Red.
Some of the traditional shocking Supercar colors like you mentioned are clearly in order to draw those people. I started to name colors, but realized you've pretty much covered them - though possibly a deep metallic purple would be an interesting addition as well.�
Apr 11, 2015
tga Elon says the old blue is "not dead yet":
I don't speak Thai, but I'm pretty sure the SLK in this video is wrapped in 3M 1080 gloss blue metallic, which I really like:
�
Apr 11, 2015
belltown99 I was at the Fremont factory for a tour and they had just gotten their ocean blue 70D moments before I arrived at the supercharger. Just had to share
�
Apr 11, 2015
arijaycomet Ooh nice! Thanks that is perfect. Just took delivery of my 85D but had I known this color was coming maybe would have waited. And that color with those wheels is precisely how I would configure one. Maybe my next Tesla haha!!�
Apr 11, 2015
mgoble It looks like they change the name of the colors again. Is this Ocean Blue now called Deep Blue Metallic?�
Apr 11, 2015
EKnight47 The new blue is nice. None of the pics shared look quite like the love shot on the website, though.
The two blues say completely different things to me. The original blue comes across as a more "classy" color and the lighter blue, more "sporty". Just my opinion of course, but nothing is prettier than a clean original blue model S. I have to admit, I am selfishly happy that it'll no longer be offered....I've got 4 or 5 dark blues (that I know of) in my town alone. It has to be one of the most popular colors in New England. Anyhow, my next one is either warm silver or (what the kids want) "Red Tesla's are sick dad!".�
Apr 11, 2015
musicious I still like my blue better :love:�
Apr 11, 2015
luvnMyTS Ocean Blue??? That's a loaded answer. Depends on which ocean you're referring to. The Atlantic is a pretty true blue. The Caribbean is more of a Turquoise while the Pacific, at least near L.A. is Green!!�
Apr 11, 2015
1208 And the sea (Not ocean I know) near the Thames in London is brown :scared:�
Apr 11, 2015
tga What is the color of the wrap? What film?
I like the color, but I'm not that into the matte/satin thing...�
Apr 11, 2015
breser Actually I didn't bother to confirm the paint code on the blue. I was comparing the grey. But since it's come up.
Per this post Ocean blue had paint code PPSB
Choosing the Deep Metalic Blue on the order page gets you this link:
http://my.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/configurator/MODELS_20150410/1440/STUD_3QTR/ms_stud_3qtr_ppsb.png
So yes Ocean Blue is Deep Metallic Blue.�
Apr 11, 2015
musicious It is Avery Brilliant Blue Matte Metallic. You can also get a glossy or chrome blue wrap but I love how matte/satin diffuses light to make the color show more, while also protecting the paint.�
Apr 11, 2015
Paul Carter Just saw it in person at the Vancouver store and then a nice lighter blue BMW pulls up in front of the store and I actually thought I would want the lighter blue, but I'm sold on it now. Its blue in virtually all lighting conditions. Love it.�
Apr 11, 2015
Kenji New Deep Blue Color Spotted!
Drove to the Santana Row Tesla yesterday and already saw someone test driving the deep blue rr ?ocean blue? color.
Spoke to the rep about the new colors.
It's very subtle difference but he said they do look different under the sun.

Thank you for posting your fine pictures. That blue looks wonderful in the diffuse light from sun behind clouds; probably lighter and more brilliant in full sun.

That may have to wait until Tesla can open stores in Texas.

No2DinosaurFuel Which is which?
Is the right the new Blue color or the left?�
Jun 3, 2015
Zarwin The one on the right is a 70D with the "new" blue. The one on the left is a S85 (possibly CPO, not sure) with the traditional dark blue.�
Jun 3, 2015
ecarfan Yes, the new blue is clearly blue in most lighting conditions. The old blue looked like black to me in low light.�
Jun 3, 2015
Niclas I prefer the old dark blue.�
Jun 3, 2015
Vger I saw the new blue at the Vancouver Service Center a few weeks ago. The car was newly off the transporter, and still had some of the white plastic wrap on it, but I got a flavour. The day was overcast, and I was surprised how dark the colour looked, but clearly in bright sun it is much brighter than the old blue. Like the MC red, the new blue is a very "active" colour� the look changes a great deal in varying light.�
Jun 3, 2015
BoerumHill Thanks for posting, Zarwin. I like both the old and new blue, but it's great to see them side by side.
Also, the Titanium Metallic in the background of a couple shots is awesome. Especially in person.�
Jun 3, 2015
Zarwin Added two more photos to the album that have Titanium Metallic in them. There were several on the lot/behind the building.�
Jun 3, 2015
patrick42h I really love the new blue. That 70D you showed is pretty much what I would like to get when I can afford a Model S: 70D, Deep Blue Metallic, standard 19s, gray leather, pano roof.
It really looks nice.�
Jun 3, 2015
chriSharek Zarwin, awesome pix. This really shows how beautiful the new blue is in comparison to the old.
I really like Vger's comment that the blue is an "active" color like the MC red. So stoked about my new blue car! 90 days and counting . . .�

Electrical_Eng The Ocean Blue looks a lot better in the sun IMO than in the showroom. I saw the Ocean Blue in the Vegas store. My favorite color is blue but for me, the Ocean Blue in the showroom does not have the rich blue hue in the sun. I ended up going with Red. Now I am anxiously awaiting the completion of the inspection and then delivery of a P85D.�

I am still struggling with my exterior color choice. I'm currently set for white, but also like the black and the blue. It was hard to get a sense of what the blue would look like on the car and of course the SC didn't have a blue one to look at.�
