Will Model 3 Red be the MS Multi Coat?

Read somewhere that the paint of the Tesla is easily scratched.

Has this been rectified?

Will opting for MultiCoat be like Mercedes' ceramic paint? Oops, MB uses something else now:
Mercedes doesn't use Ceramiclear anymore? - MBWorld.org Forums

If you have an SA built car it already has Glasurit paint.

Ceramiclear is a PPG trade mark. PPG did not develop the nano clearcoat with Benz. Sikkens did.

The Glusurit/BASF system is excellent and the clearcoat is nano particle infused just like PPG et al. Glusrurit colour matches are perfect as well. You could not hope for a better system than Glusurit's on your Benz.

The fragility of the paint Tesla uses is due to EPA and/or California restrictions on volatile emissions. It is a water-based paint that is more "environmental" friendly but tends to be softer. Not sure if that is inherent to the paint itself or just requires longer curing times.

Multicoat has nothing to do with ceramic or nano particle infused,etc. it just means it's applied in multiple coats as the name suggests.
