Unwrapping the Debate: Are Tesla's Color Wraps Worth the Extra Green?

At Bigger Dot, we're all ears when it comes to the print world, and today, our spotlight is on Tesla's exciting new venture – their freshly minted color wrap program. We've got some skin in the game, with plenty of experience in the art of car wrapping and we can't help but raise an eyebrow at those Tesla price tags.

In the wild world of vehicle wraps, it's all about getting more bang for your buck. Tesla is dropping a program that introduces seven fresh color wraps for their Model Y and Model 3 electric rides. They're talking these up as a premium offering with a base rate of $7,500.

Here are the seven new Tesla “color wrap” models:

• Satin Stealth Black

• Glacier Blue

• Satin Rose Gold

• Slip Grey

• Forest green

• Satin Ceramic White

• Crimson Red

Sure, these wraps promise to shield your ride from chips, scratches, and swirls, but the price will make your wallet wince. We've been around the block with vehicle wrapping, and we know there are many shops that offer comparable services without breaking the bank.

Tesla is clearly stepping up their game, aiming to add more colors to their palette and give customers an in-house option for extra flair, but there's a hitch. The price tag is sure to ruffle the feathers of budget-conscious folks, especially those who've dipped their toes in the customization pond.

As Bigger Dot is no stranger to the wrapping game, we reckon Tesla might be facing a bit of an uphill battle. Smart consumers may require some persuading when it comes to these wraps being worth the extra dough, especially with other budget-friendly options available. Sure, Tesla has a big name in the electric vehicle world, but the million-dollar question is whether their premium reputation can tempt buyers into shelling out the big bucks for a feature that can be found down the block. 

For all the Tesla enthusiasts looking to jazz up their Model 3 or Model Y, don't forget to weigh the pros and cons of these color wraps against the competition. And trust us, there's some sweet competition out there. So take your time, do your homework, and make a choice that gives your ride a custom look without breaking the bank.
