The first Tesla Model S that came to our shop was a Model S and it was in 2016. Then it was a novelty and of course we were excited to work on this amazing vehicle. The wrap was done in 3M matte dark Grey vinyl. Since then we lost count of the Tesla cars that we wrapped.
Since then we lost count of the Tesla cars that we wrapped. For the last couple years in fact Tesla has been the most common vehicle at our shop somehow. I think that the reasons for this are:
- Tesla exterior is pretty boring and lacks distinctive features.When you are buying a car that costs over a 100K like Model X or Model S you want it to stand out on the road. The car’s dynamics is close if not better than that of a super car like a Lamborghini or Ferrari. But Lamborghini looks like an eye candy while your Model S resembles any other family sedan on the road. So you want to customize it a bit to make a statement on the road.
- Tesla has a lot of chrome. Can anyone tell Musk that chrome isn’t trendy these days? Thecurrent trend is to have all trim on the car in Black. Satin black usually but also can be matte or gloss. This is why we do so many chrome black-out (dechrome) jobs on Tesla vehicles.
- Finally, the paint used on Teslas is very soft. I guess it has to meet California environmental regulations and therefore they just can’t add enough hardening chemicals into the paint. The result is the paint job on a very expensive car that stays in good shape for 2-3 years max. We’ve seen a couple tesla cars just couple years old that had most of the clear coat on the front bumper just gone. Abrasion and stone chips get to these cars faster than to most other car makes. The flat bumper almost perpendicular to the road sure doesn’t help with this. So you want to get your car covered with a car wrap or paint protection film as soon as possible after purchasing your brand new Tesla.

What services we offer for Tesla car owners
FULL COLOUR CHANGE WRAP
Prices for a full Tesla wrap are lower compared to most other cars and start at just 3000$+tax. Tesla has glass roof, not many trim pieces that need to be taken off the car and fairly simple contours. This is why we can complete an average Tesla car wrap in 2 days (12 hours on average) without any problems.
CHROME TRIM BLACK-OUT
The most difficult thing is to dechrome the mirror bases. These things are chrome and are of absolutely crazy shape. Each mirror takes around an hour. We have a lot experience with them.
3M PAINT PROTECTION FILM INSTALLATION
We recommend applying 3M Scotchgard Pro-series to the full front section of the car including the hood, bumper and fenders. You can check out the prices for our PPF packages here.Full Front PLUS package is the most popular for Model S and Model X. Full Front package is more popular with tesla Model 3 owners.
