Leasing Model 3 until R3X comes out, but now I have an R2 reservation as well.
I think this YouTuber, Stephan Aldaco of In My Element (a Honda Element enthusiast channel), just spotted an Esker Silver R2. Looks legit to me. Tell me what you guys think.

Man, not a single Esker Silver lover? I’m trying to convince myself because it’s probably the only color I can afford. 🩶

I've posted this picture in other threads, but I don't think it got many views. This is the early prototype in the lobby at the factory in Normal. I believe it is Esker Silver. I really liked it when I saw it in person. It's slightly darker than LA Silver, though I'm sure it would look different outside in daylight. This will be my wife's car and she likes the silver color. We also don't want to pay extra for other colors.

That's the color I'm going for....darker colors look great, but I'm looking for lower maintenance.

Thanks! This is a much better picture. I think it looks sharp with those 20” wheels, black trim, and the Coastal Cloud interior. My wife has a silver car currently and it does hide dust and pollen quite well.

Paint looks real dull indoors. Looks nice in the video under bright sunlight.

Here's a photo I took April 2nd of the R2 prototype in the factory lobby. Definitely silver.
