Still quite new to this group so please be gentle

I’ve been reading all these threads about PPF etc. This is my first Tesla picking up Friday. Of all the cars I’ve ever owned I’ve never seen recommendations for added paint protection. Is this because Tesla paint layers not as thick as “normal” car? PPF all looks really expensive but from reading all these posts it sounds like if I want lasting paint that won’t fade/chip/scratch easily I don’t have a choice. Just wondering why this is specific to Tesla and if there is any way to save money for paint protection??
Couple things.
Same discussion is on many other car forums, not just Tesla. So no, its not Tesla specific. (ive driven many tesla loaners over the past year, all of them at least 4-5 yrs old, and all had high miles and their hoods/bumpers/etc, looked no different from any other car). If you dont believe me, go look at some used teslas on local lots. Tell us if the front ends are badly messed up (they wont be)
Tesla has same amount of paint/layers as any other car.
PPF is relatively new, so its a a popular discussion item.
PPF will not add any value to your car.
PPF is effective at preventing tiny rock chips from front bumper/hood (common areas for those types of nicks).
Doing a flat hood yourself is doable, but anything with curves is likely to end up in disaster for a do it yourselfer with zero experience
