Great vid. If you get tired of Diabetic needles, try acupuncture needles. Super sharp hypodermic needles that last really well, and actually perforate smaller than most diabetic needles. My go two for bubbles in anything, and I mean anything hahahah.
Hi Justin, thanks for your referral code. I just bought my MYP in red with white interior. I got a 5100 dollar discount. I’m hoping my timing was right. Seems like there’s no bottom to discounts. Love your videos. Keep ‘em coming !
Looks great! I have to say, this is a bit of an inspiration to maybe try it myself. I had the front clip done on my EV6 (matte grey) and have been thinking about how to protect the rest of the car. This seems like a great way to save money.
Woah! The prices in your area are crazy my dude. A full XPEL stealth matte ppf wrap here is 3600 installed and that’s the average price among most shops here in LA, since everything is so expensive here I was shocked to hear the prices you were quoted! Anyway, I really want to do this. But I’m scared I’ll get so frustrated and give up. I’m pretty handy, but tedious tasks can drive me nuts so I’m kinda on edge about it lol
I have NEVER seen or heard of ANY PPF, let alone XPEL, full car matte wrap for anything close to that. Are you positive that isn't the price for just the partial frontal?
@@BeardedTeslaGuy so after doing some digging I found out that this price is for precut films, so the result will be similiar to this. Found out the higher price point installations use whole PPF sheets for those tucked edges/zero gaps that arent possible with precut films
Thank You, BTG! I am glad I went on here to check your video. I almost paid $2800 for the full body PFF for my 2023 Model X. I've just ordered the kit and saved $567. Thanks to discounted code that you posted on this video. Can't wait for the product to arrive and start this fun project.
GREAT JOB! Like others have commented, I don't have the patience so I paid for the clear to be applied on the entire front. Question though, I now have a quarter size white scuff on the front corner of the PPF. How can that be removed? On the paint, you would use a little compound and buff it out but what about PPF?
You can use a light rubbing compound. I would recommend starting with NuFinish first as it doesn't actually have any cutting agents in it. Works pretty well on bare paint so it should work on the PPF too.
How's the overall look from a far? I see that you did not tuckin the fenders so at least a little bit of the shine shows I would think. Do they sell the kit with extra to tuckin all sides?. The hood obviously always big enough to tuckin.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy for stealth I can understand but to spend thousands on diy clear film just doesn’t make sense to me when I can get any minor chips fixed professionally for a fraction of the price (or even better just buy a paint repair kit for $50) But this is easy for me to say since my m3 didn’t cost like $100k like the s/x.
its so you can clay bar your car if it has contaminants and debris embedded. It will remove, but please read up on clay barring a car before you do it.
Don't you always flip Teslas? Getting ppf seems to make more sense for someone who holds onto the same car for like a decade or so. Even if you get a few paint chips value of your car won't be affected when selling
Ive only flipped the 2020 Y for this 7 seater when it came out and the SR 3 for the LR 3 because the market was stupid back then and didn't cost anything to do it.
I only paid 1k to have the front of my tesla wrapped and they did a great job, those kits are expensive you can order a much cheaper one with top tier products if you shop around. So I am unsure what the benefit of paying 1k for the kit when I can have one installed for that price using industry top tier film. Mine was not 3M but the other brand that was actually rated higher but I forget their name.
What’s ridiculous is my brand new MYP came with swirl marks and scratches everywhere, their paint quality control is horrible but i mean the value of the car vs it’s price kinda lets you turn a blind eye to it
Bulk PPF is much harder to install, at least in my experience. And please show me how a non PPF shop buyer can get enough 8mm film to cover an entire Tesla.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy your a really good DIYer ... There are some cheap dent kits that would fix that easily. Trust me ... I didn't see any major creases so I think you can do it
Wait a min, I am only in the first few min of the vid and am I understanding correctly that a DIY sticker kit is 3k?!!! 🤢🤢🤢 Guys around here in VA charge $2500 to wrap a car, granted not “PPF” Just a normal wrap of 3M, which to me was super expensive. But 3k for some clear stickers to do it myself?! No thanks!! Crazy
@@BeardedTeslaGuy tomato tomatoe LOL. You have great vids man, I was laughing so much when you posted the clip of your wife yelling at you for buying the boost!
@@ronaldrenner1218 I understand quality is expensive it just seems a bit mind boggling to pay 3k for essentially some stickers. Yes protection for an expensive vehicle makes sense, just hard to wrap my head around how much that costs, didnt know it was that expensive.

Thats so awesome! Congrats and thanks for supporting the channel!
After watching this, I think the $6500 I paid to have PPF installed was the best money I’ve ever spent 😂. I am not a do it yourself guy.
It’s not a small amount of work to do
1000% could be possibly setting someone up to wasting $3000 on film. It’s not as easy as the video makes it seam!
If u a do it yourself it’s worth it not everyone can do a oil change or change a tiew
PPF installation is truly and art form. I had my Y done in clear for 5k two years ago and I’m still happy with it.
How much it costs to get it painted all around?
Looks great! I have to say, this is a bit of an inspiration to maybe try it myself. I had the front clip done on my EV6 (matte grey) and have been thinking about how to protect the rest of the car. This seems like a great way to save money.
saved more than half doing it myself.

Hahahahahahahaha
The discount code doesn't seem to work. Not valid for full clear kit?
PPF is so expensive. Luckily, there is a shop here in Rhode Island that’s XPEL certified that wrapped Teslas for $4,500. Can’t beat that price.
Where at?
That’s the best price I’ve seen for clear for the whole car. So about 2x DIY
@BeardedTeslaGuy hey buddy come visit and can put on mine lol still too darn hot down here and doing 1 piece at a time
@@BeardedTeslaGuy lol
Hey out of curiosity did you apply for any of the Rhode Island state tax credits? I’m getting a Y soon hopefully
Great work, BTG! Car looks great!!
Cheers

$2800? Where you live my boy? I’m getting quotes for 4k
Great video! How do you maintain the ppf after installation?
Great work as well as editing BTG! PPF on the rocker panels are a no go right?
thats right. It's plastic trim on the Y. You only put this on the painted surfaces.
🤣😂@@BeardedTeslaGuy
Great video, very informative and well made. Do you have any companies that make matte PPF for other vehicles?

Do you need to change the color on your DMV registration if you do the matte PPF?
Hey, how did it turn out with u doing it outside? I was considering doing it myself outside
we're just ignoring that giant bubble/finger to the right of the cameras on front fenders
You can check out the car at the end. There’s no fingers on my car when I finished. Some areas require going over throughout the next 24 hours
How's the overall look from a far? I see that you did not tuckin the fenders so at least a little bit of the shine shows I would think. Do they sell the kit with extra to tuckin all sides?. The hood obviously always big enough to tuckin.
no gloss shows anywhere (I may have not been absolutely perfect of course) but all edges go all the way to the end, or tuck in with a 1/2 inch lip .
Tesbros has many big brand PPF films, full step by step videos and their prices are CHEAPER!
Wasn’t it like $1200 for the DIY kit from Drive Protected 24 months ago.
That would have been a different kit. The Matte kit has not been available that long.
no, you may be thinking of a partial kit, maybe the full frontal was (sounds right), but that has come down a bit.
Much needed learning experience! Thank You!
You are welcome!
Code doesnt work anymore
should always work in an enclosed space or you will get dust under your PPF
Do they have small pieces to stealth cover the sensors?
no, and I dont believe you are supposed to do that anyways because it will interfere with the USS
For a diy solution 3k is insane
3k for stealth PPF is less than half the best price I’ve been quoted anywhere
@@BeardedTeslaGuy for stealth I can understand but to spend thousands on diy clear film just doesn’t make sense to me when I can get any minor chips fixed professionally for a fraction of the price (or even better just buy a paint repair kit for $50)

How’d you prep?
Any latest coupon code for PPF discount? Any trustworthy vendor in Canada?
BTG2024
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Sorry for being greedy but this code is offering 5% discount only. Any other code with 20% discount?
The music that you use put me to sleep. 😂
Im kind of a chill dude, I like it smooth and mellow
The code doesn't seem to be working in June 2024.
They reduced the price and eliminated all the 20% off codes. There are 5% off codes that work such as TESLAFLEX
Whats the clay they provide for?
its so you can clay bar your car if it has contaminants and debris embedded. It will remove, but please read up on clay barring a car before you do it.

It's worth mentioning that the true reason behind Tesla's soft paint is due to California laws not allowing the proper hardener in the paint itself.
No doubt. Water based stuff isn’t as great
What’s ridiculous is my brand new MYP came with swirl marks and scratches everywhere, their paint quality control is horrible but i mean the value of the car vs it’s price kinda lets you turn a blind eye to it
where can I buy stealth PPF ?
driveprotected.shop code BTGMATTE
👍
Cheers
Great job but the cost of "pre cut" PPF is egregious
not really. It's not that much over cost, certainly less profit margin than the millions of chemical products out there.
instructions unclear i'm now addicted to meth now
hahaha
The actual ppf film cost is about 2-300 dollars how is this a good deal?
Bulk PPF is much harder to install, at least in my experience. And please show me how a non PPF shop buyer can get enough 8mm film to cover an entire Tesla.
2-300 dollars?!?! Not a chance!
Less than 0% chance full car PPF is $2-300.
Material only bulk roll stealth PPF cheapest $2000. Plus add cost of cutting it!
its not bulk PPF, its pattern cut PPF. Go ahead and buy your bulk stuff and let me know how the install goes for you
Doesn’t include PPF the mirrors? That’s a premium price to not cover one of the most frequently damaged items on a car.
The Drive Protected PPF Packages come with mirrors included.
It comes with mirrors
Drive Protected RIPS YOU OFF to precut the pieces. A full roll of ppf that can do 2 cars is $1k from 3m or Stek. You can do the math here.
Music/Noise👎Footage👍

@@BeardedTeslaGuy tomato tomatoe LOL. You have great vids man, I was laughing so much when you posted the clip of your wife yelling at you for buying the boost!
Vinyl is super thin and will not protect from rock chips, plus it would last a fraction the time PPF will.
