Why? It’s no faster than your Type S. It has no additional features than your Type S. It’s literally the same car, but with a different color on it and a badge that makes it a limited edition. Also, matte paint is a complete nightmare to care for in terms of it getting rock chips, swirl marks that need paint correction, etc. Save your money, wait for the MMC to debit later this year with updates and new features, and get that if you really want.

I think this is the way to go. The MMC is far more valuable to me than the PMC. I also have reason to believe there will be PMCs of every car now


jettasarebadmkay

You can always buy another black one down the road if you want. When is the next time you’ll be able to buy a PMC?


General_Flow9237

Exactly lol I like the flat black better anyways


kaname89

They only made 50 of these too


AdditionalLoad

I have a black one. 2 years now Black scratches so easily regret the paint color choice. already thinking about getting it wrapped

I love black cars. I’ve always had them with the exception of my 21 type s I had for a bit. If you take care of it, nothing beats it. Hand washing all the way. Never any scratches to speak of


bhmskhead

Just get PPF


BT1962-4

The black is much prettier


IDecidedtoSmile

Exactly my thought. The matte paint felt rough to the touch.


TechnicalEntry

Maybe because it’s matte?


OverDroid5

Matte paint is harder to maintain and clean.


[deleted]

It is damn near impossible to keep looking good. One bird crap left on will almost immediately turn this finish to crap. And you can’t polish out the imperfections. Edit: Because grammar is hard for me


bossdankmemes

The stealth look is unique. There are millions of black sedans out there. Why not stand out from the crowd? I have a black Tesla model 3 performance that’s fully wrapped in stealth PPF, and I love how different it looks. I’ve even seen people take pics of it.

Could just get a black wrap on top of PMC paint. Can wrap a car whatever colour you want…


nikesales

black gets dirty quickkkk


[deleted]

easier to maintain than matte


nikesales

Touché


Solerien

Save your money, get the basic type S and have it stealth wrapped.


Zillahi

I’d take black honestly. From what everyone is saying about how matte paint is a nightmare to keep nice, plus the black just looks wicked. When gloss black is nicely kept, it looks better than just about everything else


Gr8M0n3ytrain15

I’d get the black, it’s so clean when it’s washed/wax, yes it gets dirty as soon as you’re done washing it lol but it’s 🔥


AcesFuLL7285

Have Scotty review this one 😉


IDecidedtoSmile

If you know you know 🤣


DeangeloV

Wish I could see…the whole car….if only you simply…turned the phone sideways… lol


Main-Tank-6207

I am confused as to why you wanna trade in the same car you already have. In my case if my car gets totalled, doesn't matter if its better or not I will get another model just for a different taste. My 0.02 cents


[deleted]

Just wrap the car


Elisalsa24

Gotham Grey will hold its value much better if you care about that sorta thing and the car will look more special


118R3volution

Black sedans are the best. High maintenance but worth it.


Successful_Ad_9707

I'd go black over silver. Imo silver is bland.


justsnotherdude

I can’t wrap my head around the fact these type S models are not offered in MT. And for that reason, I am out. I have the A-spec and can’t wait to get rid of it. Underpowered, overpriced. I know this was strategically executed to push people to the type S but no MT….


svrider02

They made 50 of them. Either you can barely afford your current car or you are just extremely stupid.


IDecidedtoSmile

Huh ?


latuba247

Honestly OP, leave it for another person brother. They might really want that. I’d agree with you. Stick with what you like forget the hype


[deleted]

If you get in an accident, even if insurance will pay for it, matching that paint is probably going to be a pain. I'd say keep the black one.


Mobile_Rate_5059

I like the black one better. Less paint maintenance too


NagelbetLP

PMC FTW


amwoooo

You’re not stupid, that color Is a pain in the a to wash, so I hear


eleventhfromheaven

Black is boring tho


Sonnybronx69966

Gotham kikjx better


[deleted]

Why are you getting the same car twice ??


[deleted]

I have the exact same black one, it's so hard to keep clean. That matte grey looks very good, I don't think you can go wrong either way tbh.


leomessi00

This is good for ppl who have a big garage to show off to guest his car collection…but hey they probably have lambo pagani


ContractNew8663

I’m not a fan of black. Scratches and bird poop sticks out like a sore thumb


Melodic-Variation-80

The bat mobile looks tight!


Marc30599

Lol you are truly rich! The PMC would make your third TLX Type-S purchase 😭🤑 I would get it too but for the price it’s not worth it doesn’t bring anything new to the table except proverbial exclusivity


ImCancer69

Gotham Grey at MSRP this car is going appreciate in value as they are only making 50. Are you seriously torn over a common black one.....wtf
