A little bummed its not Fremont / Matrix Headlights, oh well.
As far as I know Suntek doesn't make pre-cut PPF kits. Xpel does make them though. You can find the one that meets your needs here. Also there are good reviews of this PPF.Do you know if I can buy Stek / Suntek PPF rolls? All I can see is that going through an installer is the only way. What about PPF rolls off of ebay? Are they any good?
Good luck with that.I asked because someone from Colorado got the same done in $600.
The material may retail at $500, but the shops getting uncut rolls would probably get better rates.
5 hr labor at $50 per hr would be $250, and I think $50 per hr isn't unreasonable, the shop workers aren't paid more than 100K per annum.
I don't need paint correction for a brand new car.
So my calculations for reasonable was:
Material $ 400
Labor. $ 250
Profit. $ 250
------------------------
Total. $900
what is the quoted amount from those 3 installers? I live in the bay area as well and will look into them.Thanks. I actually called the 3 installers that were listed on the xpel website as certified installers and their prices are as I listed. I think the large price difference is because of the huge cost of living differences between regions. The labor costs here in CA are crazy.
I've never installed any type of "paint protection" on any of the nearly three-dozen automobiles I've ever owned and I would never pay thousands of dollars for such. $6,000 will repaint the entire front end of an automobile with a better-than-factory paint job.
That's exactly where I don't get it. A repaint could be so much better than spending five, six thousand dollars for a film. I only heard this PPF thing after looking for a Tesla.I've never installed any type of "paint protection" on any of the nearly three-dozen automobiles I've ever owned and I would never pay thousands of dollars for such. $6,000 will repaint the entire front end of an automobile with a better-than-factory paint job.
Congrats! Did you have the option for home delivery? I was told no.Took home delivery today. Austin build. No obvious issues that I saw so accepted delivery. Keep the hope alive everyone, you'll get yours at some point!
Tesla paint is notoriously soft. Maybe that's the reason for the PPF crazeThat's exactly where I don't get it. A repaint could be so much better than spending five, six thousand dollars for a film. I only heard this PPF thing after looking for a Tesla.

PPF became popular for Tesla’s because you could use it to change the color of your vehicle without an expensive or permanent paint job.That's exactly where I don't get it.

I can't attest to the full condition of other vehicles as I did not spend much time checking them out like mine, but at initial glance (as I had compared to two MYs parked next to mine) they seem to be in good shape. I picked up mine at Fremont factory/pickup center, and there were well over several hundreds Tesla's being picked up that day.The majority of cars I saw while picking up my car yesterday had minor or no issues. Within the hour I was there, saw 10 or so drive off.
I used the checklist from github: teslaprep/model_y_checklist.md at master · mykeln/teslaprepWhich checklist did you use in particular/
Here you go: teslaprep/model_y_checklist.md at master · mykeln/teslaprepCan you please share the checklist you followed?
Here in Phoenix, Arizona we don't have contend with snow. However, our freeways although very well maintained seem to be a magnet for rocks which get kicked up by traffic. I've never had it done before, but then again I've never spent this much on a car. Maybe if it was a Mazda with bullet proof paint, I wouldn't have to worry. LOL.PPF became popular for Tesla’s because you could use it to change the color of your vehicle without an expensive or permanent paint job.
We’ve chosen to get PPF on the front of our last two new vehicles because we live in an area that gets snow from November to April with a lot of gravel used on the road. We find that investing in PPF has saved our vehicles from rock chips and subsequent rust spots. You may not see the value for your area but some of us do. We take pride in our vehicles and we want them to look good for many years to come. Saying a repaint would be better would mean it would have to get damaged enough to warrant a repaint and that’s not something we want to let happen at all. With PPF a repaint isn’t needed as it’s already protected.
Yes these are matrix headlights. Congrats
In most labor intensive industries, labor is almost always equal or more than the material. Or that his how I am quoted here in MA. So your numbers are way off. People have been buying cars for over hundred years and have had chips and what not. This whole PPF business (selling plastic for 100s of $$) is getting out of hand in my opinion.Good luck with that.

In my opinion it's worth it. Certainly depends where you live or how you intent to use the car. But I've found living in Phoenix, AZ unless you put PPF on, you're going to be finding chips on the front end every time you wash it.It's actually quite remarkable to see how much PFF is promoted by influencers on youtube. It would seem that if you don't spend a grand or five on it the car will fall apart from the weight of the bugs and rock chips it will accumulate over its life
