Musk’s tweet came in response to a photo originally posted on Twitter by Ryan McCaffrey showing a Tesla Model S with its body painted in a mysterious colour. The vehicle was parked in a reserved spot and had been “painted and not just wrapped,” according to Teslarati.
@elonmusk Is this the “deep crimson” Tesla paint color you were talking about loving recently that’s planned for Giga Berlin? (I think this is your personal car given who sent me this photo).

Last week, Musk had revealed that Giga Berlin would roll out a ‘deep crimson’ shade as a paint option for Tesla vehicles. Musk had also tweeted about it back in April, saying that he had plans for Giga Berlin to include a lot of paint customization.
