Why Is Paint Protection for a Tesla Important?
For all of Tesla’s amazing benefits in terms of performance and style, unfortunately, there has also been sufficient documentation of its weakness in terms of paint quality. Some Tesla owners report swirls, scratches, and abnormal paint damage or fading after only a matter of months from purchasing the vehicle.
The Model 3 and Model Y, in particular, see the most paint issues attributed to earlier painting processes in California. While Tesla has made paint shop upgrades since then, conditions might not always be perfect for water-based paint applications, especially during high-demand months. Newer models like the X or S don’t see as many of these problems, as well as Tesla cars that are painted in other places around the world.
For this reason, getting a new Tesla without doing a little bit of digging into what went into its painting process may cost you in touch-ups and painting jobs in the long run. Fortunately, there is a wonderful alternative solution: paint protection.
