The Model Y wasn't expensive, but the PPF or ceramic coating took it to another level. Seriously, people invest a significant amount of money in protection.
No? The entire point is to protect the factory clear coat with some sort of hydrophobic layer. Getting a new paint job would be the equivalent of doing a perfect paint correction, and then just leaving it to get destroyed again
@@thegumbychronicles4892be honest with yourself though, you won’t. You’ll just let it degrade and have something else you wanna spend the money on in a couple years. You’ll say it’s not worth it im just going to get a new car in a couple years. So why not do it up front when your car looks nice and you already spent 40k, so what’s a couple more
Tesla is now offering a complete PPF package for $5,500, which I noticed on my app yesterday under the accessories section. I had mine done for $4,500 in Arlington, TX. It provides peace of mind, although it may seem like overkill. In the past, I've only applied PPF around the door handles on my previous cars, but for some reason, I felt compelled to fully PPF my Tesla. Perhaps it's because the Tesla looks more delicate compared to my previous vehicles. Anyway, I've committed to it, and now I find myself inspecting the car daily for any tiny bubbles or signs of peeling. So far, it's holding up well.
Hi there I watched your video sometime in October before my Model Y Performance was delivered. Just want to let know that I learned a lot and it was very helpful. Kevin and his crew at the Elite Finish were awesome 👏!
At a different business in San Diego, having my Model Y done this week. 100% PPF (12-year Warrantee) and 100% Ceramic (Lifetime Warrantee) $7,674. Hope it's worth it.
That’s so much money! It’s like another down for another car!! I don’t know about all that..plus why would you ceramic coat over the PPF that’s very expensive. Question, I made an order to get my Model Y PPF’d, but a friend of mine said that if I was to polish it, it won’t last as far as shine.. so I just changed my mind and just decided to get it ceramic coated because it would always be in the sun.
This video has been a year ago. Im very interested how is the car now after a year? I know PPF doesnt completely protect your car from all rock chips but I want to know if its worth spending 10K$ for all this pain protection? You car looks amazing on this video by the way. If you can keep that for a year or 2 or even more I guess its very well worth it.
If i did the math correctly, you're talking $10,000 min for all the ppf, ceramic coat, etc. It looks great, but that is just INSANE that it costs so much. There has to be cheaper alternatives. I recently got quotes for window tint....some pple quoted $500...some $200. I went with $250 and honestly it looks fantastic, warranty included.
Yes, there’s cheaper alternatives and installation variations. Some companies even make affordable DIY ones you can do yourself. You get what you pay for in most cases.
Price in my county for the same stuff and material: 1600 eur. For the whole car. Respraying the front bumper: 250 euro. New genuine front bumper in white (painted my tesla): 950+ tax. I rather get a ne bumper every 2 years. Those prices are ludicrous. Not sensible. Not in any way.
Judging from the cost for the clear bra, I can't imagine how they would PPF the entire car for anywhere near $4800. Just my experience, when ceramic coating wheels, you have to get the barrels. That's a must in my opinion if you're doing the wheels.
Great video, I have an auto shop in the bay area and I quote my customers based on material and labor, I prefer to use suntek xpel and solar guard but there are plenty of products out there.
Follow up: The one-year anniversary of putting on the PPF and the Ceramic is here. The company called to set up an appointment to inspect the PPF and reapply the Ceramic Coat. Seems that the Ceramic Coat is only Lifetime Warranted if you go in once a year to have it reapplied for $250.00. (I'm sure that cost will go up) I took it in and watched as they inspected every inch of the car and trimmed back any parts of the PPF that had come loose. (around the corners of the rear lid). They then washed and did a complete detail of the car, inside and out and reapplied the Ceramic Coat. They did a really good job. At first that kind of disappointed me that I had to pay $250 to ensure the lifetime warranty but then a complete detail at the local car wash is $300. The company says they also have a $50 car washing service and here in SoCal, that's not too outrageous as I just took the car in yesterday to be washed and it was $39.95 for the hand wash before taxes.
My wife just got a new model 3 and I decided to PPF the front. It was $1800 and took 2 days. I'm skeptical of the true value of these products but if we avoid a few rock chips on the front end then it will be worth the cost. She had leased a Model 3 prior to purchasing this new Highland version and will likely be keeping it for 5 plus years. I have an 6 year old Model X with 52,000 miles and it has never seen a Service Center except to get an upgraded HW3 computer. Other than a set of tires our Tesla's have been perfect in all respects. I had a Range Rover before Tesla and I loved that car but after driving the Tesla I was hooked. I will never own a gas car again ... ever.
1,600-3k sounds about right in the front for ppf. Ceramic coating paying 3k that’s if you have to do multi steps to bring the clarity and nice glossy paint back to life. 1k for ceramic sounds about right
That’s, uh, a whole lot of money to avoid a few rock chips (which would not be very visible on Midnight Silver Metallic anyway). Hopefully you got much of that comped since your videos are basically ads for the detail shop.
Also applying ppf doesn't add value to you car when it comes time to sell it. It may prevent slight damage, but how much would you discount a tesla with a couple of rock chips- maybe a couple hundred dollars? Nowhere near the 5 grand + you spent on the ppf.
I never hear any mention of the high traffic surfaces inside the doors. Do they typically apply PPF to the door sills? This would also carry the look inside if going with a matte finish over glossy paint. Thanks.
I think it looks amazing, however, I think it over done, a couple of trends in car really bugs me, first, the wrap, I seen people wrap with car in the basic matte finish, it made it look like a cheap primer. Second PPF, it's overly hyped, it's car, after 3 to 5 years it will be really outdated, especially Tesla, it's a laptop, it will be outdated quickly with new tech.. to spend this amount of money is pointless, plus if you wreck the car it all goes to waste. It's like you to go your asian friend's grandma's house, you see plastic wrap on their sofa. It's a beautiful car, enjoy it, then upgrade to another car, now you PPF it like a new Rolex, yes when you purchase a new Rolex, you'd peeling off "invisible" stickers a week after you own it, they do it to that level it's insane. This car reminds of that. Thousands on PPF is crazy. Yes a lot of labor and details, nope not me.
I had PPF Full Front and ceramic coated the rest of the car. Now that it's done, I wish I had done a full PPF on the whole car. Oh well, that's a lesson learned for the next car. In my opinion, if you have a quality PPF that is coated, I think it's a waste of money to ceramic coat over PPF. My PPF has better hydrophobic properties than my ceramic coating.
PPF doesn’t have any UV protection. It’s for paint scratches and chips. Ceramic is the way to go for long term paint protection especially if you live somewhere sunny. Personally I think PPF on the top of the car is overkill.
I mean if your gonna keep that car forever might as well as take care of it rly good right?, The thing w/ battery carsthough is they dont appreciate, it always deppreciates =(
Hello . Brand new to tesla here . Do I really have ppf or ceramic coat a tesla ? I’ve owned multiple luxury vehicles and never did any of these treatments and they seemed to last fine . In your honest recommendation do I need any of these treatments? Also can I use a normal car wash for a tesla ? Thanks v much
It’s all preference. Some people simply don’t mind or care how their car looks over time and some do. I like to think of it as getting a protective case for your phone. Sure you don’t have too, but nothing wrong with a little added protection in case. It’s all up to you.
@@TeslaoftheDay yeah, but an iPhone case isn’t 1/5th of the price of the phone. And even if it was, that would still only be $200-250. Your car is beautiful, but I can’t justify the cost on what is still a depreciating asset.
@@worldtrav72 Some people buy a car knowing they will beat it up. Some buy it and want to take care of it and make it last a little longer. There's no right or wrong, just preference.
Teslas are notorious for awful paint jobs. Its not uncommon to see contaminants under the paint, chips, or scratches, straight from the factory. Add in the painted exposed bumper and you have a car more susceptible to rock chips and general paint damage over time. Despite all this, Tesla owners love their cars and are willing to spend big bucks to protect the paint. I personally think its crazy. Its also not uncommon for owners of other luxury cars to get their front ends, PPF'd. That's what I would do, then keep it moving. On a brand new car, its not that difficult to Ceramic coat your own car. The difficulty is in the prep work, which is significantly less on a new car. (You still have to clay bar it though).
I have a serious question… I just had ppf and ceramic put on my 23’ model Y but I got a feeling they only put Rain X on it instead of ceramic. (I saw a bottle of rain x at shop). How can I tell if it’s true ceramic vs. just rain x?? Please and thank you.
If you can’t ask them after spending a couple grand with their shop, not sure anyone will help you. Never know unless you ask. Just ask them how was it applied and what did you use so I can explain it to others when they ask me.
Place a bead of water on it and see how it runs. Go through 2 or 3 car washes and if it's ceramic the bead of water should run the same for a couple years. If it was rainX it will have washed off.
At $7k plus, That just cost 50,000 KW @ 0.14 per KW of charging or 178,000 miles @ 28 kw per mile. Almost 15 years break even at 12k per year and endless smile while driving priceless.
I’ve owned about 14 cars from Honda to Porsche and I’ve never protected my paint. I’ve never had an issue either. Why is the Tesla paint so sensitive that everyone adds thousands of dollars to it?
Hi! I just got my Tesla MYP, same interior and exterior as yours!! before I ordered my car I saw yours and love how it looks. I got the same mud flaps, mats, etc! I wanted to ask about your headlights. I noticed that they aren't as bright as mine and yours blend in so well. are they tinted? PPF? what exactly did you use? thank you in advance!
@@TeslaoftheDay I work in the industry and paint jobs are usually 3-5k depending on the damage or job. Location plays a part as well but that’s the avg
Its insane to me that you pay $6500 for PPF when you could have the whole car repainted for less. You're protecting something that costs less to just have damaged and replaced. This would be like if you put a $2000 iphone case on your iphone that's worth $1000. I feel these shops are robbing people blind lol the materials cost maybe $500 full car and they charge $7000. There is no way the profit margin isn't massive.. Another thing to add, these companies sell you so hard and you fall for it. They are like you ever see those cars that have UC damage and specs on the hood? That's because no PPF, yeah no shit and the car is like 20+ years old. If you seriously think you're going to have this MYP for 20 years you're wrong, we live in a time where we keep our cars for like 3 years or less lets be real. So what you're really doing is spending massive money to protect the car for someone else 15 years from now. But even IF you did keep this car for that long to benefit from the PPF, you could of just had it repainted twice most likely for the same price. But hey things are worth what people are willing to pay right? If they charge $7000 and people are buying it..
Crazy costs, really. all that only costs that ridiculous amount in California, where folks are used to outrageous prices for everything, LOL. . Costs much less in Texas. Cheers
Sweet car, can I get ride in your Prius? ~nobody 😂 and not to knock Prius. Your right, it is the modern day Prius. The Prius was groundbreaking for its time and technology has moved on.
It's a personal preference but to me it seems people spend way too much energ, time and money trying to keep their Teslas looking new. It's just a car.
I take excellent care of my stuff. Won't go into detail. However, there's diminishing returns over time and a level of practicality for me personally. For instance, although Teslas seem to stay relatively the same for longer, most cars get a minor upgrade annually and a major change every 4 years. Also, cars depreciate. Most people will get a new car every 4-5 years. Keeping a Tesla 10 years is not crazy because they last longer and you get over the air upgrades. However, spending $10k for wrapping a $50-60k car seems ridiculous, especially since at the end of 10 years, you're going to get a new car and its paint condition is going to have nearly zero impact on resale value by then. Rather, spending $10k on body kit and other noticeble upgrades would be a better use of money imo. @@TeslaoftheDay
Its crazy how people spend this much money on a car. its a car meant to be driven on the roads and get dirty, it will be replaced and won't last forever
I’m also getting a PPF and ceramic coating on top of it. It’s hard to explain but keeping your car clean and shiny just put a big smile and relaxing feeling inside.
Lol, right? 4,500-7,500 plus 1,500-3,000... YIKES. What a scam! Shit any scratches you get over its lifetime can easily be fixed for less. Not to mention, if you get into a wreck, you'll need to redo that stuff anyways. Waste of money. Sorry TOTD!
@@TeslaoftheDayyou still got owned dude. 25% of the value spent in paint protection.. imagine spending $50,000 to protect the paint on a $200,000 house 🤣
The Model Y wasn't expensive, but the PPF or ceramic coating took it to another level. Seriously, people invest a significant amount of money in protection.
Why
Influencer probably got it for free
The MYP cost 60k
That much for protection wouldn’t just a new paint job when ur car wear down be more practical?
That's my plan.
You can’t get another factory paint job. That’s the whole reason why ppf was created. Not for those who don’t care if they lose their factory paint.
No? The entire point is to protect the factory clear coat with some sort of hydrophobic layer. Getting a new paint job would be the equivalent of doing a perfect paint correction, and then just leaving it to get destroyed again

Place a bead of water on it and see how it runs. Go through 2 or 3 car washes and if it's ceramic the bead of water should run the same for a couple years. If it was rainX it will have washed off.

Its insane to me that you pay $6500 for PPF when you could have the whole car repainted for less. You're protecting something that costs less to just have damaged and replaced. This would be like if you put a $2000 iphone case on your iphone that's worth $1000. I feel these shops are robbing people blind lol the materials cost maybe $500 full car and they charge $7000. There is no way the profit margin isn't massive.. Another thing to add, these companies sell you so hard and you fall for it. They are like you ever see those cars that have UC damage and specs on the hood? That's because no PPF, yeah no shit and the car is like 20+ years old. If you seriously think you're going to have this MYP for 20 years you're wrong, we live in a time where we keep our cars for like 3 years or less lets be real. So what you're really doing is spending massive money to protect the car for someone else 15 years from now. But even IF you did keep this car for that long to benefit from the PPF, you could of just had it repainted twice most likely for the same price. But hey things are worth what people are willing to pay right? If they charge $7000 and people are buying it..
Love the passion you have for this topic.
I was confused as to why I recognized your voice. Lol.
Only $10K? Just 25% the cost of the entire car? How about, no.
It’s like adding gold flakes on a steak and charge $300 for an 8oz steak
Nice they cracked you on the head with a 800% mark up. Hey your money and as they say, “good deal is a good state of mind”.
To each their own 👍 if I go grocery shopping I’ll use your wing 😉
@@TeslaoftheDay wing? Well I wholesale cars if that’s what you referencing too…? Idk but the banks crack most of us on the heads with “mortgages”.
For that price i would tradein the car after 2 years and get a new one twice so you good for 6 years.
Wow 🤩
maybe there is a sponsorship opportunity, is there any way to get in touch with you,

Passing the cost of good paint and finish onto the consumer
Good job Elon 😂
Crazy costs, really. all that only costs that ridiculous amount in California, where folks are used to outrageous prices for everything, LOL. . Costs much less in Texas. Cheers
Shit why go to so much trouble after the cost of everything you can buy a brand new one
There goes my years salary
That's idolizing a car at this point.
Model y is modern Prius. Dont waste your $$$$ on over maintaining the daily car.
Sweet car, can I get ride in your Prius? ~nobody 😂 and not to knock Prius. Your right, it is the modern day Prius. The Prius was groundbreaking for its time and technology has moved on.
Interior PPF? Waste of money. Just keep your car clean.
Bro got another Tesla on top of the Tesla, it looks good…..but not at a $8k price point.
It's a personal preference but to me it seems people spend way too much energ, time and money trying to keep their Teslas looking new. It's just a car.
Def personal preference. Some people just like to keep their things a little more protected.
I take excellent care of my stuff. Won't go into detail. However, there's diminishing returns over time and a level of practicality for me personally. For instance, although Teslas seem to stay relatively the same for longer, most cars get a minor upgrade annually and a major change every 4 years. Also, cars depreciate. Most people will get a new car every 4-5 years. Keeping a Tesla 10 years is not crazy because they last longer and you get over the air upgrades. However, spending $10k for wrapping a $50-60k car seems ridiculous, especially since at the end of 10 years, you're going to get a new car and its paint condition is going to have nearly zero impact on resale value by then. Rather, spending $10k on body kit and other noticeble upgrades would be a better use of money imo. @@TeslaoftheDay
For these prices, i think ill eat a couple of rocks chips.
Thx for sharing. If you have the time, you could do the PPF yourself 🤷🏽
I let the pros handle it
thats more than just having your entire car repainted, waste of money in my opinion!!
Umm, touch up paint is $60...
That’s fuckin insane
Its crazy how people spend this much money on a car. its a car meant to be driven on the roads and get dirty, it will be replaced and won't last forever
When you drive a 1k$ car for sure you wont understand why people spend that much of money to protect their car.
I’m also getting a PPF and ceramic coating on top of it. It’s hard to explain but keeping your car clean and shiny just put a big smile and relaxing feeling inside.
Their money they can do what they want with it who complains about what other do with their money good or bad
I’m about to drop 5k on PPF and ceramic on the new M3P in addition to the car lol
Influencer probably got it for free
Miller Michelle Wilson Sarah Moore Kevin
How much???😂😂😂😂😂 You are nuts 🥜
Harris Maria White Shirley Robinson Barbara
Yea, I'd rather invest that cash and use it as a down payment on my next ev. It looks nice though.
That’s what I did first in before buying the car. $tsla 👍
Lol, right? 4,500-7,500 plus 1,500-3,000... YIKES. What a scam! Shit any scratches you get over its lifetime can easily be fixed for less. Not to mention, if you get into a wreck, you'll need to redo that stuff anyways. Waste of money. Sorry TOTD!
I feel like these ppf and ceramic is a great scam.
Best scam ever. I’d do it again.
Pricing is so stupid, way to much for plastic.
Yikes $4,500 to $7,500 ... LOL that completely erases ANY gas savings for its ENTIRE lifespan.
Didn’t buy it just to save gas.
More money than sense!
$10k in paint protection? ...this world is getting dummer and dummer...🤣🤣🤣💀🤦🏽♂️
Says the guy who started a tesla channel and apparently has nothing worthy to share 😂
@@TeslaoftheDayyou still got owned dude. 25% of the value spent in paint protection.. imagine spending $50,000 to protect the paint on a $200,000 house 🤣
I’d just paint it
Lmk how it goes.
it would be cheaper to just get a new paint job
Possibly. If you’re ok driving around with chips everyday then sure.
Honestly it’s a scam, it’s 3x cheaper to repaint the whole car than get full ppf
How much is a high quality paint job these days?
@@TeslaoftheDay around my area 3-4K even if it was 7k still cheaper than wrap, few shops I called want 10k+ for full car
10k for a full PPF? You're getting jacked. I can see 10k for a full paint job tho. @@Garage_doctor
The value is -50% will all of those 😂
Your comment makes -50% sense 😂
