When you purchase your new Tesla, like many other Tesla owners, you’ll find yourself wondering how you can protect your investment and keep your ride looking new as long as possible. While a ceramic paint protection film installation may have a higher up-front price tag than other vehicle protection options, it’s the biggest bang for your buck and will provide long-term protection for your Tesla. Join our PPF experts as they share some of the benefits of adding paint protection film to your Tesla and explain how your car will benefit from paint protection.
In the car industry, it’s well known that Tesla cars have thinner than normal paint layers. While other vehicle companies finish at nearly 5mm thick paint — layered over two to four coating applications — Tesla averages closer to 3mm. While slopping layers of paint onto a car for the sake of meeting a certain millimeter depth is not that important (nor is it recommended), it does make a difference in long-term durability. Scratches and imperfections may be more noticeable when there is less paint. Adding paint protection film offers an invisible layer on top of your Tesla’s paint, increasing the lifespan of the paint job by decreasing the opportunity for scratches and chips to occur.
Driving a vehicle exposes it to inherent damage on the road. Whether it’s sand, gravel, or other debris kicked up by other vehicles, or exposure to environmental contaminants including air pollution, acid rain, bird droppings, and road treatments, your Tesla is continuously assaulted on the road. PPF works like an invisible shield to block harsh chemicals and hurled debris from making contact with your vehicle. With paint protection film armor, you’ll notice that your Tesla keeps on looking new much longer! Over the next few years, external wear and tear will be minimal when compared to vehicles not protected with PPF.
Unfortunately, intentional damage is common for luxury sports cars like Telsa. Whether it’s jealousy or some other motivating factor, luxury cars are subject to key scratches, door dings, and graffiti, among other assaults. Paint protection film provides an incredibly durable fortress around your Tesla and can help ward off some of the damage. Global® Paint Protection Film is 6+mm thick thermoplastic polyurethane that is scratch-resistant and self-healing. If there are minor scratches inflicted, the PPF is able to form back to the vehicle. Additionally, the PPF keeps dirt, grime, and even graffiti off of your Tesla’s paint, making it much easier to clean and eliminating the abrasive effects on the vehicle’s body.
It’s true that vehicles depreciate the moment you drive them off of the lot, but there are ways to help optimize the resale value throughout the life of your Tesla. For instance, keeping up on routine maintenance, avoiding auto collisions, and maintaining aesthetics all make your ride more appealing for either trade-in or self-sale. By installing paint protection film on your Tesla, you’ll ensure that the paint avoids damage and looks pristine for years to come.
Here in the Bay Area, the California sun graces us with its intense presence at least 259 days a year, which is far above the national average. The sun’s harsh UV rays are as good at fading car paint as they are at bronzing your exposed skin. Paint protection film acts as a sunscreen for your Tesla and is color-stable itself. This means that your Tesla’s paint will remain even and vibrant while the PPF seals it in without yellowing or discoloring. When you pair high-quality PPF with UV-blocking window tint, you can protect both your Tesla’s paint, as well as the vehicle’s interior and your passengers, from sun damage and fading.
Many consumers see the up-front cost of paint protection film installation and can’t understand how it saves Tesla owners money, but, we assure you that there are many beneficial ways. As we discussed previously, your vehicle is continuously exposed to environmental hazards, regular road wear, and the nefarious intents of passersby.
When you consider that the average paint chip repair runs you between $250 and $500, and chemical oxidation repair costs between $3,000 and $5,000, the price of PPF is minimal in comparison. For complete vehicle paint jobs, you’re looking at a price tag of $4,000 to upwards of $15,000. Choosing to add PPF to your Tesla is a long-term investment that pays for itself over time.
By preventing fading, scratches, chemical reactions, paint chipping, exposure to the environment, and more, you avoid having to have the damage fixed and/or your Tesla repainted. Since Global® Paint Protection Film boasts a 10-year product warranty, you can rest assured that you shouldn’t need a PPF replacement while you own your Tesla.
Tesla experts agree that the best options for protecting your Tesla with PPF are the same as protecting any luxury vehicle. Minimal coverage is better than no coverage at all, but full-body coverage is the best option. Global® Paint Protection Film is invisible armor that can be applied as a partial front, full front, or total vehicle.
