It is sufficient to just get the 1200 package right or should we go for the 1650 package. I don't know what the risk is and if it's worth the price. You can get your car repainted for a little over 2000$
Still confused about whether to get it or not. I asked a lot of people at work who said they've never gotten it done and two of them owns a Tesla Model S and a 2013 Porsche Carrera 4S.
Sorry - Modesta is a clear coating that is meant to help protect the clear coat from etching or stains. It also gives a high gloss finish that should also be easier to clean. I got it mostly to ease the cleaning/detailing work. The clear bra is more to protect from scratches and chips. I got that in the more-likely-to-be-damaged areas - bumper, rocker panel, mirror caps, fender areas, rear bumper by the trunk, by the door handles, and the edges of the door.

If you go to the shop and talk with them, or give them a call, they will go over some options and try to fit your budget. Maybe upsell a little, too.

I don't know how much it costs to repaint. You should consider whether you would rather repaint, have the original paint protected, or live with some potential chips.
