How it will look when you peel it off? Same as any other YouTube video of them peeling it off if done correctly with multiple coats. PlastiDip is a lot easier DIY than trying to wrap it.

Plastidip is ok, you just need to take care of it and peel it after a year or two or getting it off is a nightmare.
Helps if it is garaged and not in the sun a lot too.

Had a few vehicles on for like 4 years and multiple coats is the key to making earlier to peel off. Wasn’t that bad, it’s the thin single coat that you hear horrible removal stories about.

Wrapping the CT is the easiest vehicle to wrap. It’ll look way better than a plastidip job. getting plastidip to have a smooth even coat will take longer and be harder than just lining up some huge stickers(PPF wrap).

What's the price difference?

I did all of the silver badges on a Model Y six or seven years ago and it's still going strong. Did three coats.

Not sure what it would cost to PlaticiDip an entire Cybertruck. But @TESBROS have really decently priced PPF kits, on sale now for starting at $1500. I would recommend PPF its easier to install, the kit comes with everything you need, I got heatgun, all the squeegees, torch lighter. I messed up on 1 of my panels installing, and they sent me a replacement for free.

The opposite of that would be if we put a bunch of dents on it, like a golf ball, it would be more aerodynamic.
Divots are different than bumps. The Mythbusters proved that the cutouts/divots, like a golfball will help Areo. But bumps won't they'll hurt it.

Sounds like you're trying to say the same thing.

Maybe, I'm saying bumps/plastidip/extreme orange peal, will have a negative effect on Aero. While divots/holes/innie-belly buttons have a positive effect.
