Originally, when the Model Y first launched in China back in December 2020, pearl white paint was an option, but it was later removed, pointed out @Ray4Tesla, to Tesla North.
BREAKING: MIC Model Y prices are revised as follows: ¥339.900 reduced from ¥488,000 for AWD LR and ¥369,900 reduced from ¥535,000 for Performance variant. Deliveries will start in Jan. This will be bad news for NIO, LI and Xpeng as their prices are all in the same range. pic.twitter.com/UhkcXQbPw3

However, pearl white paint was made available today and comes as an 8000 yuan upgrade ($1,237 USD). A white premium interior upgrade is also available now for the same price.
The Model Y comes with black as the standard exterior colour in China, whereas in the United States, pearl white is the default, a change made in the summer of 2019.
NEWS: The white interior is now available for the Made In China Model Y. It costs ¥8000 (or $1,238 USD).
