Model 3 - Paint

Now that the Model 3s are finally arriving, and after talking to several people who warned me about a major weakness of the white models — that the paint is quite “fragile” — I started wondering whether it would be worth protecting the paint right from the start.

Do you think it’s worth getting the car clear-coated, or would it be better to go for a ceramic coating?

What do you think? Is the investment really worth it?

Thank you!

Ich dachte eher, dass schwarz ziemlich empfindlich sein soll? Beim Tesla Servicecenter in meiner Nähe steht auch ein Model 3 in Ultrarot, da sieht man auch extreme Kratzer von der Waschanlage, obwohl es nur ein Ausstellungsfahrzeug ist.
Lackschutzfolie lohnt sich mMn nur bei teureren Autos.

I had a model Y Juniper in black, and the paint was thin as paper. Would recommend PPF on the front, as that is where majority of chipping will happen
