Tesla has added a new paint option called Diamond Black for the Model 3 and Model Y, marking a shift in its vehicle customization offerings for North America. The new exterior finish, which replaces the previous Solid Black color, is currently available only in the United States.
Announced via Tesla’s official X account, the Diamond Black paint is described as a deep metallic black with added texture and reflectivity, offering a more dynamic appearance under various lighting conditions compared to the discontinued Solid Black.

The new finish appears to resemble the sparkle seen in Tesla’s Pearl White and Midnight Silver Metallic options, but with a more intense luster.
Although Tesla has yet to release official studio photos of the Diamond Black color, short clips in promotional content show a sleek and glossy surface, suggesting a more premium visual experience.
