I recently (2 months) ago purchased a CPO which claims it has Paint Armor, but I am not sure it does. There is no line on the hood like the others which i've seen with the armor, like this one

Check the edges of the hood and even look at the underside of the edges. If it is a good job, you should only see a very slight edge to the wrap. The Tesla wrap is only 50% of the hood, thus the seam. IMO, it's unsightly. Good wraps cover the entire hood or any other panel so that the seams are not visible. I have seen several references for good installers in FL.
Hopefully it doesn't have the "half hood" implementation as shown in your screenshot... it's terrible having that line across the hood and I can't believe they even offered it in the first place.
For what it's worth, my own cost-benefit trade-off decision on installation of XPEL Ultimate was to cover the entire front of the car up to the doors plus 15 inches of the roof and the windshield side pillars. So I have "the line" across the roof. (Plus the installer included the trunk sill and door edges.) That was $1,100; the whole car would have been $3,000.

Thanks for the reply.
After more and more investigating it seems my car (CPO) does NOT have the paint armor on the hood, nor front bumper, even though the spec sheet claimed it did.
This is slightly unsettling the car is not spec'd as listed... not sure if I want to bring this up to them
Why would you have any qualms at all about bringing this up? The car was not listed correctly.
LTE would calm me down. YMMV! But do bring it up. It's like any other listed option that affected the asking price.

Definitely bring it up. Good luck.
It must be getting chilly down in hell... We've agreed on something!
