AGREED! I always have new cars wrapped the day I get them to avoid any debris damage - especially with Tesla quality paint.Your best bet is to have paint protection film installed while you still have paint left. Tesla’s paint is pretty soft due to the strict emissions regulations in California.
Any decent body will be able to provide a much better paint job than the factory.Perhaps a re-spray/paint of the front end at a reputable paint shop might get him a better quality paint and clear coat that will hold up better than the factory version we all got?
Thats a good price. My local shops quoted me anywhere between $1800-$2200 here in northern CA. Regardless of price, I will 100% be getting it as I do NOT want paint chips on my hood. Well worth the cost and for peace of mind. Not to mention, most PPF has a 10year warranty and lasts very long. Yes you can repaint your car, but do you really wana go through that hassle? Its not fun to get quotes from shops, have to wait several days, and also have them paint match the paint you've had on your car for years, which probably wont 100% match the new paint put on your hood/bumper etcThe shop near me just quoted me $1750 for PPF for front bumper, hood, fender, mirror. I'm debating if it's worth it, sounds like if I add a few hundred dollars, I could just get those repainted? So why not just sustain the damage, touch up when necessary and after a few years repaint to brand new paint?
Is the paint actually chipped on the fender? PPF is supposed to be self healing and a plastic film. Must be a pretty large sized rock to cut through that materialI have had my car exactly one month and had Stek PPF installed on the front clip right after I took delivery. 1,200 miles later I have two rock chips on the right fender and a pretty good size one on the hood that damaged the ppf (not sure if the paint was damaged). I'd probably still get ppf if I had to do it over again but kind of disappointed with the results so far.
