As a new owner of the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland, you want to keep your vehicle looking great for years. Applying Paint Protection Film (PPF) is one of the best ways to protect your investment and maintain its stunning appearance. Here are several reasons why you should consider PPF for your Model 3 Highland:
1. Scratch and Chip Protection
Shield Against Road Debris: PPF acts as a barrier against road debris, rocks, and gravel that can chip and scratch your car’s paint. The film absorbs the impact, preserving the factory finish beneath.

Self-Healing Properties: PPF allows minor scratches and swirl marks to disappear with heat, whether from the sun or a heat gun or warm water. This ensures that your car always looks flawless.
2. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Maintains Gloss and Shine: Gloss PPF enhances your car’s appearance by maintaining the original shine. It’s virtually invisible and doesn’t alter the look of your vehicle, ensuring that your Model 3 Highland looks as stunning as the day you bought it.
However, matte PPF – also known as stealth or satin – does alter the look of your paint. It makes the color more flat, toning down the shine.
Prevents Environmental Damage: Your Model 3 is exposed to various environmental elements like UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, and acid rain. PPF provides a shield that prevents these elements from causing damage to your car’s paint, such as paint discoloration and etching.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings
Reduces Maintenance Costs: By protecting your car’s paint, PPF minimizes the need for frequent touch-ups and paint corrections. This translates to significant savings on maintenance costs over the life of your vehicle.
Enhances Resale Value: A well-maintained exterior significantly boosts your car’s resale value. When it’s time to upgrade or sell your Model 3, having PPF can make your vehicle more attractive to potential buyers.
4. Ease of Maintenance
Simplifies Cleaning: PPF makes it easier to clean your car. The film’s hydrophobic properties repel water and dirt, allowing you to wash your car with minimal effort. This is especially beneficial for busy parents and professionals who want to keep their car looking great without spending too much time on maintenance.
5. Customization Options
Full or Front Kit: You can either protect the entire car or just the front portion. The most common protection package is the front kit, since it covers the highest impacted areas. This includes the mirrors, fenders, hood, bumper, and headlights. Sometimes rockers too.
Variety of Finishes: PPF is available in various finishes, including gloss and matte. This allows you to customize the look of your Model 3 Highland according to your personal style preferences while still enjoying the benefits of protection.
Colored Films: For those who want to add a unique touch to their Tesla, colored PPF options are available. These films can give your car a distinctive look while providing the same level of protection.
