According to Tesla, these wraps are fabricated from a self-mending urethane film which safeguards the underlying paint from damages like dings, scuffs, and abrasions. Essentially, Tesla seems to be offering a color paint protection film, a more robust and pricier choice compared to the regular vinyl wrap.
The color lineup includes Satin Ceramic White, Slip Grey, Satin Stealth Black, Satin Rose Gold, Glacier Blue, Forest Green, and Crimson Red. The initial trio is priced at $7,500 each, while the remaining four are tagged at $8,000 apiece. The listed prices encompass both the wrap materials and installation at Tesla's Service Centers, which is an unexpected twist as one might assume such services would be offered at the manufacturing facility.
Currently, the service is operational at two locations, both in Southern California: West Covina and Carlsbad. Tesla mentions that once a car is handed over, the installation process "may span between five to seven business days." However, a substitute vehicle won't be provided during this duration.

Beyond the colored options, Tesla also markets a transparent wrap priced at $5,000 per car. Offered in both glossy and satin variants, this transparent wrap shields the original car paint from potential damages while showcasing its natural color. The transparency doesn't extend to the door recesses, but the colored wraps do.
An important detail for potential buyers is that these upscale color wraps are exclusively for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y cars from 2023 onwards. To place an order for one of these wraps through their mobile device, users must have version 4.23.0 or a more recent update of the Tesla app.
Observations from recent tests have shown the Tesla Cybertruck sporting diverse wraps, hinting that Tesla may introduce similar wrap options for its forthcoming pickup. This is plausible given that painting the truck's stainless steel exterior isn't an option.
