Factory PPF(Paint Protection Film) on 2023 Model Y?

[tsksdus]

Hello,

I got 2023 Model Y delivered on Nov29, and am considering PPF(Paint protection film) installation.

But, when I look at it closely, something is on front bumper, and rear bumper.

Only on front bumper and rear bumper. Do you know if these are PPF(Factory installed)? Will it be Ok to attach additional PPF on this film-like thing?

Thanks
CK

Given that you are in San Diego (not in cold climate area) I doubt you get free PPF. Maybe it's something extra that your specific service center is doing? I would check with your SA and see what was installed. Normally, you won't get any front or rear bumper ppf installed. Even the ones they install for free for cold weather areas are just on the rear passenger fenders.

This is what they install for free for some regional buyers:

Thank you. Similar thread previoiusly. It looks like "mold line" not PPF.

Is this PPF on my MYP front bumber?

Trying to understand what this is on my front bumper. I have the same thing on my rear bumper as well. Anyone would know if this is PPF? I sure did not install anything on the bumpers. My MYP is exactly one month old.

That is PPF. To do a proper job they will take those little pieces off. Piece-o-cake . Try doing it yourself. I've never done it until I did my car: DIY PPF on 2022 Blue Model S

Those are mold lines. They should have been painted over so you don't see the black. Check few other white ones and you'll see(we ppf many white model y and rarely see the mold lines black). Nobody is getting any free ppf on the bumpers because they're the hardest part to PPF lol

I noticed on my 2023 MYL the bank bumper has PPF already installed.

What's a bank bumper?

Typo...should be back bumper

Typo...should be back bumper

Is it brand new? I’m assuming you’ve read all the posts above?

3 months now, but noticed the PPF on the back bumper only last week while washing my car

That looks like the the "mold" line from when the bumper was detached at the factory. The only piece of PPF from the factory might be the one on the bottom of the rear door.

so is this really mold line or some PPF? Notice the same on 2024
