I have a black 2022 M3 RWD and have covered just over 10K miles since I got it in December 22. Now I mostly commute to work in the car, and the commute is 50 miles each way, with a large chunk of that on the motorway and the rest on A roads. I've noticed that my car has a ton of stone chips, including 3 quite large ones on the bonnet, numerous small ones on the front bumper and a few on the rear doors/sills. I remember the first stone chip I got (within a week of owning the car), a small one freakishly on the roof just above the driver's door! My other car is a Seat Ateca which I have owned from new for 5 years and had previously been doing the same commute. It has 80K miles on it and has far fewer stone chips than the Tesla! I have read lots of posts about the perceived "soft paint" that Tesla has (especially the black ones), and all I can say is that appears to be true in my experience. I have never noticed or really thought about stone chips on any other car in over 30 years of car ownership, although this could be because I really love my Tesla!!! Does anyone else feel my pain? I've bought a big pot of Chipex but haven't mustered up the courage to repair them yet!! Oh yes, the Black paint was my wife's idea, I also swore I wouldn't ever own a black car again after owning a Seat Leon Cupra around 12 years ago and never being able to get it to stay clean!
