Tesla is hawking the Glacier Blue, Forest Green, Satin Rose Gold, and Crimson Red wraps for $8,000 each. The Slip Grey, Satin Ceramic White, and Satin Stealth Black wraps will set you back by $7,500. If you’re a member of the “all things, but in matte” aesthetics club, the satin wraps are where you should put your money, especially if you save some money from the Model 3’s price cuts. Now, once you’ve mustered enough courage to drop that amount on a Tesla color wrap, there are a few things to keep in mind.
According to a support page, it could take anywhere between five to seven days for the wrapping service to complete after placing the order and delivering the car to a service center. Tesla also doesn’t appear to be offering a loaner vehicle for that duration either.
Tesla says these wraps can be maintained and “waxed, polished, clay barred and ceramic coated just like traditional automotive paint.” If you see any minor scratches after taking your electric ride to a car wash, the scars will apparently heal within 48 hours.
Also, keep in mind that Tesla doesn’t offer wrap removal services. However, your neighboring car repair shop can easily take those few thousand dollars worth of vanity wrappings off the car using a wet-apply film. You can, however, request a servicing appointment with Tesla if the Color Wrap needs fixing for serious damage — but only at the same outlet that applied it in the first place.
