Introduction

Driving a Tesla in San Luis Obispo, CA is all about clean energy and sleek design—but that design needs real-world protection. From UV exposure to rock chips on Highway 1, your Tesla’s finish is constantly under attack.

That’s why local EV owners choose XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF) from Coastal Film—offering invisible armor and long-term peace of mind for your investment.


Why Tesla Paint Needs Extra Protection in San Luis Obispo

Tesla paint is elegant but soft, and San Luis Obispo’s Central Coast climate can be unforgiving:

  • ☀️ Sunshine year-round = UV damage and fading
  • 🌬️ Wind and dust from foothills and agriculture
  • 🪨 Gravel and sand kicked up on rural backroads
  • 🐦 Bird droppings and bug splatter from scenic drives

Without proper protection, even low-mileage Teslas can develop chips, swirls, and dullness within a year.


What is XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

XPEL PPF is a crystal-clear, high-performance film applied to your vehicle’s most vulnerable surfaces. It delivers:

  • Impact protection from rocks, debris, and road rash
  • Self-healing surface that eliminates light scratches with heat
  • UV filtering to preserve factory paint
  • Hydrophobic layer to repel water, dirt, and contaminants
  • 10-year manufacturer warranty

FAQs

1. Does XPEL PPF interfere with Tesla Autopilot sensors?

No. We install film carefully around sensors and cameras to ensure full functionality.

XPEL PPF lasts up to 10 years with proper care and comes with a warranty.

4. Can I wrap just certain parts of my Tesla?

Yes! You can wrap high-impact zones or go full-body—it’s up to your driving habits and goals.
