Hi everyone,
I came across this issue on my black Model S Plaid. I'm having PPF (Xpel Ultimate Plus) put on the entire car and we found that the clear coat on the paint is coming off and creating white patches on the film. This has been identified in two specific locations, the driver side doors and one of the wheel arch panels. I attached a picture the installer sent me. I'm being told this is likely related to a bad paint job. I'm not sure if I should reach out to Tesla to fix under warranty or get someone to fix these areas. I guess it depends on the overall cost. I just don't want all the hassle of Tesla warranty service and having to return to get the film reinstalled. Clearly, I can have the film put on looking like this and I'm concern Tesla may try to make it an issue blame it on the film installation. I would love to get your thoughts on what I should do or if anyone has come across a similar issue with your vehicle's paint job. Thanks a bunch
