How much did that full wrap cost you?
Man, I get this question all the time and it really varies on several factors. The guy who wrapped mine is a friend who does it for a living, so he cut me a little bit of a deal. I've heard prices all over the place on wraps and I think sometimes we get overcharged because it's a Tesla. There is a lot of prep, assembly/disassembly, and tedious work involved. Since I've helped out on the wrap and unwrap, I completely understand why it can be so expensive - almost the cost of a well-done paint job. Don't go cheap - I've seen cheap wrap jobs and they are really horrible. A good job will look like paint and most people won't even know it's a wrap.
Some rough estimates...
Chrome delete: $600-800 - There's actually several difficult spots on a Tesla, esp. the chrome around the mirrors is challenging with lots of curves and moving parts.
Wrap material: $800-3000 - You can find a lot of options in the $800-1200 range. Chromes are much more expensive and around $3000, plus they are much more difficult to install so installation will cost more (can't use as much heat or stretching).
Wrap: $1500-3600 - Depending on vehicle and difficulty. I was quoted by a local company $3600. I told them I already bought the material, just wanted a quote for install. That seemed too high to me. Chrome wrap will be on the higher end on this range.
Unwrap and prep: $500-1500 - I was quoted by a local company $1500. Again, seemed high, but I did this and there is a lot of work involved to prep the surface for a new wrap. It's very time consuming.
Door jambs: $500-$1300 - This is completely optional. I was quoted by a local company $1300. I wouldn't even worry about this on a black car. On a light colored car with a darker wrap, it is nice to wrap the door jambs so you don't see the lighter paint around the edges or when you open the doors/hatch/frunk. I didn't do it last time, but I am considering it this time.
As you can see, it adds up real quick. If someone quotes a complete wrap for like $2000, I might be a little wary because the material alone can cost close to that or more. Not saying it's not possible, but just make sure the work is top notch and the material is good quality.
