Tesla Model Y Paint Protection Film (PPF)

The issues with paintwork on the Tesla Model Y is well documented. But rather than lamenting this colossal failure of quality control, let’s look at how owners (or, indeed, anyone who fancies purchasing a used model Y) can address the problem.

The answer, apart from getting a respray, is paint protection. Technology advances mean that applying this cost-effective product to your Tesla not only protects it from further damage, but also improves its aesthetic appeal and makes looking after your ride so much easier.

How PPF can address your Tesla Model Y paint woes

Tesla Model Ys paint issues are varied. They include:

• Prematurely aging paintwork
• Paint that chips and flakes
• Poor texture, with paint that resembles an orange peel

The problems seem to be worse on those that have been shipped to colder climates, where snow, frost, and liberal salt on the roads seem to be having a detrimental effect. However, it’s also a problem in warmer coastal climates, as well as those in arid regions. Salt and sand both appear to be reasons for these paint defects.

The key workaround is to protect the paint before the problem advances. Or, to correct any issues and then get a paintwork protection product applied.

Paint protection film is an excellent fix. It provides a robust barrier between the paintwork and the elements. This prevents the degradation from occurring, leaving the gleaming color of your car shining through.

I’ve got a Tesla Model Y. Should I get paint protection film?

Before you rush to get PPF fitted, the following should be considered.

• The condition of the paintwork: If no visible issues have arisen, then installing PPF will help ward off any future problems that might arise. Tesla seems to have addressed the problem (at least to some extent), meaning models from 2022 onwards don’t seem to be as badly affected. Despite this, you might want to consider PPF even for a brand-new model.
• Can adequate paintwork correction be carried out? PPF should only be applied to paintwork that’s in good condition. However, a good installer will be able to carry out the correct prep and paintwork correction necessary—as long as it’s not too far gone, obviously.
• The paintwork is badly affected: Even with really advanced deterioration, PPF can still be the answer. In this case, the application of a color wrap with PPF over the top will restore your Tesla Model Y to its original showroom glory. Or, you can go for a completely different look altogether, if you so wish.

The key takeaway is to either get PPF applied before any major problems occur or, in the worst-case scenario, get a color wrap with a PPF topcoat. Either way, the solution is far better value than getting a respray (or losing your mind as you battle with Tesla’s customer service department)
