      Yes, you do, because wraps are the default “paint”

      The default body they ship if you don’t pick up a wrap will degrade over time and cost you even more if you like that “ugly gray plastic” look.

        Ah ok it looks like you’re right. I thought I’d seen a video where they said they designed the panels to be able to withstand the elements. Full wraps start at $500 though.

        No you do not have to buy a wrap. That is literally false.

        Well like, literally everything degrades with time. The sun is a giant microwave after all.

        Furthermore, are we under the same understanding that Automotive Paint is like some real expensive shit since the paint has to survival literally every kind of environment in the world?

        There’s a really cool “How It’s Made” episode on it. Though now that I think of it maybe it was propaganda to normalize expensive paint costs… 🤔
