Does anyone else have this on their driver side?? My passenger side doesn't have it.


Edit: I’m talking about the bottom part.

Im wondering if this is only on white cars??

That may be the case but it's there to protect that fragile Tesla paint from chipping.

 

[camalaio]

Yes. It's a film to protect the paint since there are no mudflaps, and there are known issues with the paint wearing along there due to common road debris. You should actually have it on both sides.

My Oct '18 LR RWD has a film on both sides but it doesn't seem as knobbly as yours looks.

My white M3-AWD (May 2019 build) has a white “strip”, but it’s very smooth.

My MSM seems to have a very not noticeable film in that area. Your doors also seem misaligned?

Same here. 5/18 build date.

Can you share pics for data?

My 2019 SR+ doesn't have that.

Don't think that is a film. Pretty sure it's an anti-chip / anti-rock coating. You can buy them for aftermarket/as a body shop. 3M & duplicolor make one... Probably other brands out there.

In an OEM application, I'm not sure if it is on top of the normal clear, or in lieu of normal clear coat? I've seen it on numerous cars from the factory. I know my 13' VW CC had some along the rockers. Should definitely be on both sides though!
