this thread is now just the Cybertruck version of body builders arguing over how many days there are in a week

You’re making great points and providing great information. Thank you for contributing to this thread. Unfortunately this other guy is pretty set in his ways and doesn’t seem to want to change his opinion even with new information.

Does your back hurt from moving the goal posts this far? Never said my wrap was invincible. Just more economical than painting a vehicle. And not as fragile as you heard from a guy who would make more money from you if you got it painted rather than wrapped.

Do you know what anecdotal evidence is?

That’s me realizing you’re misinformed and over confident in your assumptions and giving you the option to go discover for yourself that you’re wrong.

I treat my wraps like shit and they have lasted over 6 years at this point. I think you’re misinformed.

Put your hypotheses to the test dude. Report back once you have some data and facts.

So in your hypothetical this painted Cybertruck is a garage queen with perfect paint and the wrapped one is put through the winter ringer every year? Your logic is flawed. Prove me wrong.

I live in Canada, drive through the Rockie Mountains monthly, and do road trips often. That paint will look like that water bottle after one winter I bet

Still gunna be less than painting and having to repair that paint every year IMO

Depends on the weather, seasons, and the quality of the roads you drive.

Trucks go through worse IMO

Depends on the wrap. PPF lasts for many years and gets at least an 8year warranty most of the time

It’s very easy to clean. Not hard to keep “pristine” but you could make it easier by clear wrapping it in high traffic areas. You’d save a bunch of money over painting it too.

Bit of a non sequitur. General resale value is not determined by a single person’s preference.

One more thing. If you paint it you’ll likely drastically reduce its resale value

When you get a wrap installed by a certified installer, many of them have warranty for up to eight years

What have the horse and cow been eating?

Don’t paint, wrap it. Paint costs more, takes longer, and is harder to do (likely to cost more if you want quality). Plus we don’t know how the stainless will react to it. Wrapping when done properly is cheaper, faster, and easier to remove (if you do ppf).

The glass is marketed as “shatter resistant” (queue the cool gif of them throwing an ice ball at the window) but it appears to be susceptible to scratches. I’m not surprised, phones glass is like this too. It’s either scratch resistant or shatter resistant. It can’t be both. I was cleaning my...
