Difference between what material is being wrapped. I work with a bunch of different films and have been an installer for the last 15 years. This is a tinted PPF (paint protection film) which is much more expensive than traditional vinyl wrap and especially cheap vinyl. the differences between the two are PPF can withstand an absolute beating from rocks and scrapes and things of that nature, vinyl wrap cannot, it is purely cosmetic while ppf has the benefit of protecting the paint, which in this case only being a stainless steel finish and not paint the reason for using it is to prevent when vinyl would start to tear from abuse. PPF (of a GOOD quality) will last between 5 -10 years and is usually warrantied for 10 years plus from any delamination, peel back, or staining. Vinyl is typically good for 1-5 years maybe if taken care of and just to give an idea of prices even for my shop that is certified in Stek, Ceramic Pro, 3M, Immortal, KPMF, GSWF and NanoLink, a typical roll of colored PPF alone which you would need at least 1 and maybe 1 1/2 to do a Cybertruck is around $1900 - $2200 (trust me, i wish these were lower) a roll alone in material besides any prep material and shop costs. The time it would take one person to do a very very good install would be about 5 days typically, plenty of time to post heat and really make sure everything is as secure as possible, whereas a vinyl wrap would cost me even with good film maybe in the ballpark of $500 for the film for this whole truck, so a PPF wrap on a Cybertruck obviously varies based on place of residence greatly and by a really good installer probably around 6k whereas a Vinyl wrap would be about 3.5-4k. It is not terribly difficult to DIY yourself, especially on this vehicle but at the same time your paying mostly for the experience of the installer (hopefully), the warranty on PPF, and the time dedication and meticulousness. Hope that sheds a little light on it.

You can do a U turn in AZ at a red light so long as you don’t enter the rectangle that would activate a red light camera . Generally if the painted lines or concrete dividers go close to the pedestrian crossing, it will be illegal for a U turn but if the lines fall short of the ped crossing, you can fit a U turn without entering the rectangle and it legal
The rationale is that you are not in the intersection. My advice for danger free Phoenix travel: NEVER MAKE A U TURN. Make a couple of regular turns and live.
i owned a tint and wrap shop so it costs me only $1600 for PPF materials. Color wrap materials are cheaper. Window tint ceramic films cost $60 to $200 depend on what brand you use.
I’m an old guy and I don’t know anything about wraps, and I really don’t get the attraction of a wrap over a paint job. How long does a wrap last? When the plastic wrap starts to fray, does it look like hell? What’s your view of a wrap versus a paint job?
From what I’ve seen, wraps tend to be easier and cheaper to do while also providing protection. In this case, he’s installing a PPF which is better than a wrap because it provides that protection to the paint (or in this case the lack thereof) underneath. The wraps allow for much more interesting colors and patterns. A lot of people want it for business promotion. Colors can also be much more vibrant and you get some of those reflective finishes. It just gives you different options and some protection
@@VadersFirst Thanks for your reply. I get all that. But what about when the wrap starts to peel or fray? Does it last 10 years? Do people just rip them off when they start to peel off? I haven’t seen an example of a wrap getting old, but I can imagine that it would look horrible. If that happens after a year, after spending all that money, I’d be pretty angry about it. So what’s your opinion of the lifetime of a wrap and what happens when it starts to unravel and fall off the car? Thanks.
@@flyshacker I'd assume that yeah if you have just a wrap that isn't high quality it would probably start to tear and or peel at some point, mainly in high-impact areas such as the front. The nice thing I guess is that you can just rip it off and redo the wrap in that part. Sure you can spot paint as well but it's really hard to match unless you repaint the entire vehicle. It's also nice if you want to restore it back to the way you bought it since you can just remove the wrap. I don't know how long they last, especially things like PPF which are supposed to last longer. Maybe they last a long time and maybe they don't, I really have no idea. I guess with the Cybertruck the draw is that it will protect the stainless steel and it's easier to do than painting all of it. With regular cars PPF also makes sense because you get the benefit of paint while also adding a little extra protection so that paint doesn't get damaged. Being able to take the vehicle's stock color and make it matte is also a pretty big draw.
@@VadersFirst good points. It still seems hazardous when it starts to peel. Every time you wash your car more of it would peel off and dangle there or flap in the breeze, looking worse than if you never wrapped it. The longevity is my big concern. Yep you could replace the damaged wrap or PPF but you are spending thousands more just to keep it looking good. I dunno. Sure raises red flags for me!
@@flyshacker Yeah I think there's pros and cons. Replacing it though would be just the ripped part, so it wouldn't cost nearly as much to maintain it. Depending on the part too it's not the most complicated thing to install yourself with limited equipment
At the very beginning, what kind of tape are you using to transfer that decal? I’ve been having difficulty getting my decals to stick to the tape and not their lining.
Adhesives get soft and loose the ability to stick when it is 90 degrees. At 90 degrees the black in direct sunlight , will register 160-180 degrees. Keep your Dark Color Cybertruck in the shade, the adhesive won't hold past 140 degrees in Arizona sun.
What brand and tint percentage on windshield, front windows., rear windows & glass roof (if the roof was done) ? how much for the whole tint job? also was it 5k for the ppf? or is it 5k just for vinyl and you paid more for ppf?
I don't think we need to care about rock chips on the body of the CT. If the vinyl wrap itself can't handle it, then sure get the ppf. Otherwise we are wrapping to protect a bulletproof(ish) car?
Looking at all these cars and shit one can do in US just makes me wanna move there. I tried to wrap my X5 where I live, I found 1 shop and they didn’t even reply to my email
5k is a lot of money especially after dropping so much to get the vehicle. I just think you lose that depreciation the minute you drive off the lot then 5k on a wrap. TH-camrs spend that money for content but that’s a lot for average person.
Lipstick on a pig. Should be an easy wrap with the flat panels, but wonder how it will last at the sharp corners. Wraps may last only 3 yrs in the Western sun, and removing the remnants can be tedious (costly). Vinyl-wrapping stainless panels should be another of Elon's genius.
the Cybertruck is terrible at charging...... it takes at least 4x that of any other EV...... The truck charges great but the people makes leaving the station 4x longer!!!
I got my Model X wrapped. I was told no more mechanical car washes, only hand wash🧽🫧. Also be 3 feet away with a self wash high pressure sprayer. I was told the PPF film is guaranteed 10 years, if you follow care guidelines. And they can tell by characteristics of the damage. In addition, the car still has to be cleaned of bird droppings, can damage the film. On top of the PPF, I had a ceramic liquid coating put on. This only lasts 2-3 years. Now this helps protect the PPF. It’s also hydrophobic to water. 💦 I would add it makes hand washing easier. Sometimes, you can just dry wipe the dirt off. I think the PPF was worth it because the original paint was accumulating paint chips. Also the wrap I choose changed the metallic blue to a flat, satin finish which is a totally different look, so looks like a new color. I’ll redo the PPF in 10 years, along with possibly a new battery for the next 10 years. All that plus UV tint for windshield and front windows was a little over k8k I got my PPF done at Blackout Tinting. They are in Pgh, Pa; Miami, & St Louis. They do good work. They also have TH-cam channel and show lots of different PPFs and wraps.
The only, and major, miss is that the video was more of a reaction to the wrap than showing the truck wrapped... I don't even think there was a full body shot of the work... 🫠

100% more than I guessed

The weird thing is Paint Protection Film is a misnomer in this case. What paint are we protecting?
Not bad at all❤
Nice, more than likely give the rig many years of longevity.
Psssst, there's no paint. Why would you put PPF on it?
We did it because the film itself is strong and won't tear. Once it tears it looks bad so just reducing that risk

Paint protection film ? It is stainless steel, extremely hard alloy, how do you justify more expensive film on stainless steel ?
Because the film itself is more durable and won't cut like a wrap would. Once it starts to cut it looks bad
@@Gjeebs You're missing the point of the question. Why add anything when the stainless is already more durable than any film or wrap or paint?
