What installers see on a Tesla Model Y
Tesla clear coat is on the thin side and marks easily, which is why studios push correction before coating and full-front film over partial. Panel gaps and the front bumper lip need an installer who has done the model before; pre-cut patterns exist for every current Tesla. EV SUVs price with the SUV multiplier and usually have a glass roof, which pairs well with a light ceramic tint.
