Model X paint quality - rock chips

[soniczoom5]

For current X owners; how susceptible is the Model X to rock chips? Worse than average? Same?
Considering PPF on all the front panels but not sure if the whole Tesla paint quality issues are overblown or don't apply to the X?

All paint gets chipped. Just get the PPF knowing you did the right thing.

I have a 2017 model X with 89,000 miles. Obsidian black. No ppf. Hardly any chips. I would say it has held up much better than average.

The swooping hood and bumper make up over 95% of the exposed fascia that will take chips. If you ppf the hood and bumper with a 9-10 mil film your probability of getting any is decreased tenfold so you can probably expect none over many thousand miles.

I have not found the new ultra red to be more resistant despite the advertised multiplie layers. I picked up a small hood chip maybe 2mm, barely 1500 miles in and it took all layers. Maybe bad luck but that swoop doesn’t help.

Not like Teslas the paint is crap California paint

My 2020 has some road chips on the hood and I would say also rear quarters down below where the fwd open. The hood I would say 97% are front 1/4 of the hood. Non on the nose where your license plate would go.
