Tesla launches its own car wrap service - Electrek

Interesting to hear costs and see if this launches in the US

It’s brilliant, pay us a couple of grands to wrap the car so you don’t see our horrible paint job.

My thoughts exactly.

Not Model Y but X

Love the idea!

Again - cheap & high quality labors make difference.
1. No California paint chemical restrictions resulted to a better paint quality.
2. Chinese labors are far better than US labors.
3. Wrapping a car in China is much cheaper than in US.

I am another Model X owner disappointed with the paint. $130k for this car and on the first 2000 mile road trip, I have to have the front professionally buffed out because bugs ruined the finish. 150k road miles on my Escalade and 100k miles on my Lexus and that was NEVER an issue... and the Escalade was black!!!

No wonder Tesla Sales recommends a clear wrap on the front. They were right. In my opinion, if their paint and clear coat are that bad from Fremont, they should offer the clear wrap free on a $100k++ car.

That's interesting, everyone would get a "bare metal" finish rolling off the line, and you would pay to wrap it in your color pref.

That's actually brilliant, because the company can pump out non-stop the same car with Black or White interior options, and the wrap can be done later based on demand...

I own a 2020 X in white. I love the white but have seen an explosion of them in my town. I considered doing a color wrap but the cost was $4500 dollars from a body shop. I would let Tesla do this for me for sure.

I would love to have my Model Y wrapped in a custom color. But I would want it done locally. Only places I saw online were on the west coast, and I live in North East PA.

(I love the Matte Military Green half way down this page: Tesla Model S/3/X/Y Complete Vehicle Wrap )

Hope it comes to US. Ceramic coating, too.
More competition = more reviews = clearer who offer best QC vs. pricing...
Am guessing some who offer service now will become Tesla contractors?
Some owners can be more picky with Tesla but hesitate to critique independents...

Probably due to the more lenient environmental laws.
If Tesla were to move production to Texas we’d have better paint quality

Sorry to hear you didn't invest in TSLA earlier in the year.

Thank you! Was looking at this myself. Saw that the car pictured in yellow was a Model X, not a Model Y as mentioned in the article. They should correct the article.
