Yep, it's wrap. If you see a Model Y with any other color than White, Grey, Blue, Red or Black, it's wrap

Major improvement.
I hope they don't find out who peeled off their wrap.

My lips are sealed, I know nothing! 😎

now what people are thinking once they look is possibly not what the person who did it intended. but ego rationalizes anything and the need for attention doesn't care.

That's such a SoCal thing...sorry Southern Californians . People wrap them here, but it's mostly to protect the paint and they mostly don't use gaudy colors. One of my co-workers has a White Model Y, he wrapped it in matte Black, which is not too bad.

In SoCal I've seen them in vomit green, neon yellow, purple, pink, and orange

I wonder how many strange looks before they realize nobody likes it.

Then again, that may be the driving motive to annoy everyone Haha

Why bothered? Is it because it's a Y (cheaper car)? More expensive sports cars/SUVs have strange bright colors too.

So which one is old and which one is new?
