Wrapping a Tesla? Read This First
Why Do People Wrap Teslas?
If you have a Tesla at home and it isn’t wrapped yet, what are you waiting for? Vinyl wraps are the premier way to stylize and protect your car’s exterior, all for an affordable price! At a fundamental level, a vinyl wrap is an adhesive film that is applied to parts or the entire exterior of your vehicle. These wraps are customizable in material, pattern, color, and more! Besides looking awesome, vinyl wraps serve as a tough layer of protection between your car’s body and the dangers of the road and other cars. A vinyl wrap is essentially a cheaper, tougher, more customizable and, frankly, cooler paint job.

Tesla Wrapping Quirks
Each car brand and model within generally comes with their own quirks when applying a vinyl wrap. Here are the different Tesla models and their little quirks:
Model 3
The Model 3 tends to be the most popular model of Tesla on the road today. For these reasons, vinyl professionals usually have experience wrapping these models and can usually tackle the task with more efficiency and better results. Being the smallest model, too, contributes towards less material and a lower price point to wrap.
Model Y
The Model Y is one of the bigger Tesla models, which will bring need for additional material into play and makes the cost to wrap slightly higher. A unique quirk for the Model Y is the molding along the bottom and around the wheel wells of the vehicle. This molding usually comes in a matte black and doesn’t get wrapped in vinyl. The final aesthetic of the Model Y will have this molding, and therefore it should be considered when selecting your color/pattern.
Model S
The Tesla Model S is a sleek, sexy car that looks great with a fresh vinyl wrap. The material costs are similar to the Model 3, as the S has a smaller frame. The rims on the Model S provide a great opportunity for contrast between themselves and the wrap, which can create insanely cool aesthetics for those that consider it.
Model X
The Model X is another SUV-style vehicle that will require larger quantities of vinyl to successfully wrap. What’s unique to the Model X is the upwards-opening winged doors that give Tesla its unique look. These doors, naturally, have different hinges and protocols to follow when wrapping them, meaning experience with the Model X is important to have prior to applying film.
Best Wrap Material for a Tesla
Not all vinyl wraps are created equal. There are different materials and finishes that can be employed to create different looks!
Gloss
Arguably the most common, a gloss finish is typically the standard for car finishes. This look is popular for a reason; your car looks fresh off the lot when a gloss finish is well maintained. Naturally, gloss looks fantastic on a Tesla.
Carbon Fiber
For a more industrial finish, a carbon fiber wrap is a great way to infuse strength and power into your car’s aesthetic. Carbon fiber wraps are unique and worth every penny!
Matte
For the opposite of gloss, a matte finish provides a unique muted finish to your car that will make it stand out amongst the shiny gloss. Matte-finished cars are always an eye-catcher on the streets!
Colors that Look Best on a Tesla
When choosing your colors for your Tesla, there is a humongous list of colors available to you. Within these colors there are different finishes as well, as mentioned above, to create a huge trough of different aesthetics to choose from. There will certainly be a vinyl wrap color that catches your eyes! Check out some of our color blogs to see a more in depth look at the colors offered through vinyl film.
Ordering a Custom Tesla Wrap – What is the Cost?
Looking at the costs for wrapping your Tesla, there are a few things to consider. Depending on the model you have and how much of the vehicle you want to wrap, the material and labor to have your Tesla wrapped will generally be a few thousand dollars. Your car will be wrapped and returned to you in just a few days.
From there, the wrap applied can be removed easily at your direction, but will stay on for years with proper maintenance. And most importantly, the wrap won’t damage your car, but instead maintain the value for longer. This means larger resale value should you want to do that down the line.
Compare this to a custom paint job that will cost thousands more dollars than a wrap, take days upon days longer, and which doesn’t provide an extra layer of protection to your car. Getting your Tesla custom wrapped in vinyl film is really a no brainer! The experienced hands at Zach Wraps could bring that vinyl to life today! Contact us to find out more!
