2018 Tesla Model S P100D
Midnight Silver Metallic
21” black arachnid wheels
0-60 in 2.5 seconds(!)

My client just purchased this new Tesla to replace a previous one. I am slowly but surely coating all of his vehicles.

Paint was in ‘as new’ shape, which means, full of orange peel, solvent pop, dirt nibs, water spots, marring, etc. A shame their quality control is not very good in the fit and finish department.

It was also covered top to bottom, front to back in artillery fungus! Oh, what fun!

I corrected it, glossed it up and coated this electric Q-ship up!!!

It was delivered with the incorrect wheel/tire combo. It has 19”s on it now. Tesla delivered the proper wheels (the unicorn of the Tesla world, they are that difficult to find/get) to me and I cleaned and coated them prior to installing them.

Well done. I have only done one Tesla model s and it had it`s fair share of defects. In fact that hood needed to be repainted when a big tiger stripe was discovered in the metallic paint from the factory.

Looks great!

I think Stokdgs said recently he corrected one as well and the Tesla rep told him they make the best electric cars on the planet, they don`t care about the quality of the paint job. Lol.

^^^True statement! LOL. I think they are very good/cool cars...as long as you aren`t a stickler for panel fit/paint work!
