Why a Tesla Center

Protection built for soft factory paint and screen-driven cabins.

Tesla paint is famously thin and soft. The white and pearl whites mark easily, the blacks show every swirl, and the multi-coat reds chip on the leading edges within the first month of ownership. We have spent years learning the panel maps for every Tesla on the road and what it actually takes to keep one looking factory-fresh in Michigan winters.

Most of our Tesla clients are tech-forward professionals who want their car protected the first week they take delivery. We offer pre-delivery inspection, mobile pickup from your home or office, and a single appointment that covers PPF, ceramic, and tint together so the car only goes off the road once.

We know Tesla paint

Soft clear coat, easily marred, prone to chipping at the front bumper and rocker panels. Our tech leads have prep procedures specific to Tesla finishes.

Single-appointment install

Drop the car off once for PPF, ceramic, and tint together. We sequence the work so films cure between stages without holding the car an extra day.

Owners trust the warranty

All work is backed by XPEL's manufacturer warranty, which transfers to the next owner if you sell or trade in your Tesla.

Tailored to Tesla

Three services, one playbook per model.

We sequence PPF, ceramic, and tint together so the car only goes off the road once. Tap any service below to see what we recommend for your Tesla.

Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film for Tesla

Tesla's clear coat is roughly half the thickness of comparable German paint, which is exactly why rock chips happen so quickly on Michigan freeways. We pre-cut every panel from XPEL's Tesla-specific pattern library and hand-trim the leading edges so there is nothing to peel back later.

  • Full front PPF is the most popular package for Model 3 and Model Y delivery owners
  • Track Pack covers rocker panels and rear arches, the two zones that take the most road debris on a Tesla
  • STEALTH satin film available for blacks and silvers if you want a factory matte look
  • We carry XPEL film optimized for Tesla's narrow A-pillar and frunk shut lines

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coating for Tesla

Hand wash compatibility matters more on Teslas than any other car we work on. Owners who use neighborhood automatic washes burn through clear coat in under two years. A proper ceramic coating gives you the slickness to use a no-touch wash safely while making bird droppings, tree sap, and brake dust a 30-second wipe instead of a polishing job.

  • FUSION PLUS ceramic with up to 8 years of warranty protection
  • Wheel face coating included free with every full-body Tesla coating
  • Two-stage paint correction first to remove delivery swirl marks
  • Compatible with Tesla's recommended pH-neutral wash chemistry

Window Tint

Window Tint for Tesla

Tesla's all-glass roof bakes the cabin in summer and sends UV straight onto your screen and dash. We do more PRIME XR PLUS ceramic tint on Model Y and Model 3 panoramic roofs than any other vehicle in the shop. Heat rejection numbers actually matter when there is no metal between you and the sun.

  • Panoramic glass roof tint, including the Model Y and Model 3 long roof panel
  • 98% IR heat rejection on PRIME XR PLUS so your cabin pre-conditions faster
  • Windshield ceramic option that does not interfere with Autopilot cameras
  • All Tesla-legal VLT levels available, with installer guidance on what looks right per color

Tesla FAQ

Common questions from Tesla owners.

Do you take new Teslas before the first wash?
Yes, and that is the ideal time to bring it in. We offer pre-delivery inspection coordinated with your local Tesla service center so the car arrives at our shop with delivery swirls but no environmental contamination.
Can you tint the windshield without affecting Autopilot?
We use windshield film that is transparent to the camera frequencies Tesla's Autopilot system uses. We also avoid metallized films, which can interfere with the cell antennas in the A-pillars.
Will PPF show on white or pearl white Teslas?
No. We use XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS, which is gloss-matched to Tesla's paint codes, and we hand-tuck every edge inside panel gaps so there is no visible film line.
How long does a full Tesla protection package take?
Full front PPF, full body ceramic, and all-window tint together is typically three to four business days. We provide loaners or coordinate Uber credit while the car is with us.
