This client was a referral. He just picked up his new Tesla Model 3 and wanted it to be protected as best as possible.
The vehicle received a minor paint correction and a glass/ceramic coating.

I hope everyone enjoys the write up and pics on this green/techie/performance car!





















 
I have done two so far this summer. I think we will be seeing a lot more of them next year. People waiting for a great electric car will be very happy with this offering.

Tesla paint is really soft. Both of the cars I have done were brand new (less than a week in the owner's hands) and had noticable swirls in them. Other than that, I think they look great. You have to get used to cars without front grills, I know a few people hate the look.

It's great idea to coat these, because otherwise the paint will get trashed really quickly.
 
I think that is the first Tesla that I have seen on this forum and the pictures/results are wonderful. I have never seen the inside of a Tesla and I am glad that it was one that you had worked on. The engine bay is like cleaning an interior.
 
Nice work. Car looks good.
I drove a red one the other day, also performance model. Damn it’s quick. Driver has a blast but my passengers said they felt a bit nauseous. Acceleration is way more than the average person is used to. Magazines are actually getting it to 60mph in 3.1/3.2s.
 
Thanks everyone!

Yep, the performance/acceleration of them is crazy! And only getting faster!
 
Awesome!

Would love to test drive one of those fast electric cars. The torque says to be something else in performance. And the 0-60 in 3.5s is incredible fast. Still get you a decent range from it.

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the comments!!


Mike: Those were the tail lights.
 
Well you already know what I think!!!! Great job as always sir!!! It is exactly like the one I done a few weeks back. We got to drive it as well. The technology on these is crazy!! The owner made it move with his iPhone while we were standing outside. He said that he bought an extra package where it would go where he told it and come back to his house.

That extra package, which costs $3K, is not active yet. And no one knows if it will ever be. It gives the car full autonomous driving capability but is pending government approval and based on how many crashes were blamed on the autopilot feature so far, I’d say we’re far from seeing that approved. The feature he showed you which is summons is present on any of the Teslas with autopilot which is about $5K at the time of purchase.
