    XPEL Ultimate wrap cost?

    You guys are crazy. When you trade it back to tesla for a newer model after 4 years, tesla won't offer you for a penny more than trade in price. I say penny is a bit joke, but you know what I mean. Buyer won't tell you I will pay you $$$$ more because you have xpel wrap. If you think to sell to...

    Decent Review by Fortune Mag, but how could TM give crappy vehicle to journalist?

    There is a X signature for test drive in Portland store. The covers on the 3rd row seats have exactly same problem. Also the metal hardware that connecting the base of 3rd row seat to car has noticeable rust all over. I hope the current productions do not have those problem.
