2014 Tesla Model S P85 – Solid Black
TREATMENT
- Wash & Decontamination
- Multi-Stage Paint Correction
- Opti-Coat Paint Protection
DESCRIPTION
At the time of this detail this was one of only four Teslas currently in the country. All of which are currently owned by Tesla and used as demo cars. There are two in Vic and two in NSW at present.
This spec is the Model S P85. It sits at the high end of the three models that will be available here in Aus. This particular Tesla has had a few options ticked, including the panoramic sunroof, full leather, performance seats, wood trim, and what they call a “yacht floor”, which is a nice accented wood trim piece that sits between the front seats and extends to the centre console just under the massive tablet display.

Here is the car as delivered. Being a demo car it has been working extremely hard since it arrived on the truck from Sydney last week (hence why it still has Syd rego for the time being). It was dropped off the evening earlier having just come back from country Vic on a test-drive for some prospective regional owners.
Starting with the wheels, chemical decontamination breaking down all the ferrous deposits
Then onto the same for the bodywork. Though you can't see it activating red here because of the colour of the car, you can see it's found a reasonable amount of contaminants.
Full foam pre-soak and then bucket wash, clay, and dry
On to the paint inspection. Considering the very young age of the car there was a reasonable amount of swirling. Not helped either by the car being solid black. Being a demo car though it's to be expected. Not a day will go by when this car isn't clocking up serious kays and having people clamber all over it, so it will definitely have a hard life compared to most standard cars. Before

Some gnarly buffer trails/holograms across the car, indicating it had been butchered previously by a cheap detail

More scratching

There were also a couple of circular marks at the front of the bonnet, roughly in the middle. My assumption is that this was most likely as a result of a camera mount while someone was reviewing the car

Some reasonably deep scratches near the recessed door handles. The handles pop-out for use and then retract into the body when the car is locked or in motion, making for a better aerodynamic figure as well as a much slicker look and fitting with the "techy" theme running through the car
