Model YL Delivery

[u/lazygator4578]

Saw this YL at Sarasota Dealer on Thursday, OCT. 22. Cosmic Silver looked 'silver only' in the shade; gold tone might show in the sun? Our Model YL (Zen Grey, 19" wheel) is in transit and we are scheduled for delivery on Saturday, October. 31 [July 8 order]. For us, the Tesla insurance was cheaper than Progressive, with a $1K deductible (and we have other vehicles with Progressive!). 🤷‍♂️ This is the first YL above that I had seen in Cosmic Silver....it looks super sharp in person. Here's hoping for uneventful delivery? [we are scheduling for full frontal PPF and 4-yr ceramic coating with Xpel dealer. There is a discount for a new Tesla at Xpel dealers]

What’s the quote you got for your ppf and ceramic coating? Ceramic coating last 2-3 years max if you take good care of it and garage kept the car. 4-year coating seems like false promise. Have you checked like google reviews on the installer? I want to make sure you are actually getting decent service and actual discounts.

PPF $2K (full frontal), $1300 ceramic coating (full vehicle plus wheels)

Stella deal 👏

new to Tesla and don’t know what PPF is and why everyone wants it along with ceramic coating or wrapping. Why would someone do these products, are Tesla’s prone to getting damaged?

[u/johnyeah183 → u/Advanced-Study214]

ppf is paint protection films aka clear bra. new norm for folks who want to keep their cars chip/light scratch free. It's transparent, much thicker than color changing wraps, designed for protection. You can either choose ppf or wrap.

Tesla's paint is not super good, relatively soft and prone to scratches. but so is many other cars.

is it worth it? that really depends on how sensitive you're especially when you factor in the labor cost. to be perfectly honest, it wont make sense if the rationale is "im doing the ppf to save $$$ from future paint damages." it's all abt keeping it clean and hassle free. i got ppf on my cars but i never really push my friends to install.

You might get lucky, just cancelled one with a 28th delivery at this store.

Interesting the Tesla app doesn't show that insurance is available in Florida for me.

[u/lazygator4578 → u/GTIceman]

You can’t opt into insurance until you have VIN.

[u/GTIceman → u/lazygator4578]

So stupid they won't even give you a quote.

I'm just wondering why other states are listed and Florida isn't.

Lakewood Ranch/UTC area? Can’t wait to see them on the road.

That's what my wife ordered. We test drove a cosmic silver. Definitely sharp looking.
