tinting

What places could you recommend in the Puget Sound area that does exceptional tints for cheap? And what's the best percentage range for specific areas? (Trunk, Front & Rear Windows, & Upper Pano Windshield) (Mind you, this is for a 2016 X)

I just joined this forum and will probably order a 2023 Model 3 LR AWD in October. I recently had a chance to drive my cousin's model 3 while in Kentucky and loved it. The amount of glass in the roof made me wonder about tinting the panels since I live in the Phoenix AZ area. For those who live...

Hi Everyone! Whilst waiting in the Aussie Model Y waiting room I noticed there were a heap of repeated questions regarding these topics (the thread title) as there seems to be no centralized thread addressing them for Australia. I’m still doing research into these topics and would love to pick...

Hello, Does anyone here know how to tint the rear side window in a way that hides the lines? Thanks in any advance for any info.

1st post! taking delivery next month and I would like to get 5% ceramic on the front windows, prob 35-50 for windshield and the same for roof. my wife is allergic to the sun and is light sensitive. Anyway, what % would i need for the back windows/rear to match the front 5%?

So I got my windshield and windows tinted as well as full front end ppf by a highly rated shop according to Yelp. It was xpel xr prime tint and xpel ppf, costed me $3000. It's been almost 2 weeks and I'm seeing debris/dust under both the tint and ppf. The ppf also has bubbles and doesn't lay...

Hi everyone, I am in the bay area and received the following quotes. Would love to hear people’s thoughts on which option they’d go with and why. Also, if you would do full rear or not. Thanks! Option 1: ZtoA nano-ceramic tint of the solar free brand for $230. Full rear for $390 Option 2...

Hello everyone, I’m new in this forum and this is my first post. I tried to look for my issue but I couldn’t find any overheated article after tinting with 3M crystalline the whole Model Y. Here is my story: I got my Model Y Performance white with white interior less 2 weeks ago (on May 14th)...

TLDR: I'd like electric tinting on all glass and a rear monitor that mirrors the touchscreen display but I don't know if it's even possible let alone advisable. Any relevant input would be appreciated. I camp in my M3 a LOT. Couple things I have noticed is that playing games or watching movies...

Hi All, Going to be taking delivery of my MYP soon. Any recommendations on where I can get a good Tint in LA, OC? Thanks!

I recently took delivery of white MY. Just like every other tesla owner I decided to look up PPF and Tint options. On my quest for a straightforward solution, to my surprise (may be not), I slid down the rabbit hole and came up with more questions than answers. I hope someone can help me find...

Looking for an experienced tint shop in Long Beach, HB, SB or surrounding areas. Any recommendations- your experience? Also, what tint did you use? Roof? Recommended Tint Levels?

Any recommendations for a relatively inexpensive yet quality tint in the Bay Area? I have a m3 and only want to do all 4 side windows, not the sunroof. If you could provide an estimate cost you were quoted/paid, I’d appreciate that! Also, any recommendations for %s or photos of your tints? I...

Does tinting really help with saving battery life so my m3 sr+ doesn’t have to cool itself down as often? Anyone who didn’t do tinting, do you feel like you’re baking inside? If this is more a cosmetic fix than practical, I want to save my money.

With the automated window dropping an inch when the door opens, any trick to moving the windows up 100% when the door is open? I'm planning on tinting the front two windows, but would like to have the window move so I can work with the tint on the lower portion of the window.

Coming from a Model S where without a heat rejecting tint, the a/c had to work overtime to keep up with trying (and failing) to keep the cabin cool. Once I had Spectra Photosync tinting done, it was a night a day difference in comfort. What I'm wondering is, given that most of the windows are...

Does anyone know what brand of window glass tint was installed on the Space X/NASA custom Model X?

Is Llumar or Xpel a better brand for tinting the Model 3 glass? I’m planning on installing 30-50% glass tint film on side windows, rear glass, and sunroof with 70-80% clear on windshield. I like the appearance of both Llumar and Xpel from the outside, but I want the best performing film for...

I all, I have been looking and reading all the posts on here and on Tesla's forums. There have been a lot of posts all throughout 2018 regarding tints. Which one to choose, where to go, to do the front or not, to do a full back or partial back. Well its mid 2019 now and no one has mentioned any...

Hey folks! Love this community and this is my first post. I’m considering getting a tinting job on my M3 SR+ but am concerned with quality places in Atlanta and don’t want to run into any issues given how sensitive the doors are in the M3. I’m not on Facebook, so would love any recommendations...

Hi, I just ordered a standard range black model X with white interior with delivery estimate of May. I really like the look of the X in black, but I am concerned about the hot weather. I called a highly rated local tinting shop in Orange County to schedule an appointment, and the owner told me...

I don't know if this reflection problem (see picture) is just for certain brands of tint or certain intensities (mine is dark), but as you can see, the white interior casts a major reflection on the driver's (and passenger's) side rear view mirrors when it's sunny. I really like the white...

Hi everyone, This thread is going to be an on-going compilation of pics and vids (mainly vids since I started video documenting our projects) of 3's we've completed, so members can get a better idea on how something might turn on for their 3 if they get the same service/products. Here's some...

I'm planning to tint all my windows, but can't decide what % to go with. I realize all lot is personal preference, climate and local laws, but would like to get a feel of where fellow T-3ers are.

Issues after issues.. here's the latest one: a stress crack similar to those posted in [1], [2], [3]. Tesla Service got back to me after I made a service appointment and I sent them pictures. A technician will confirm that it is under warranty. Here's the rub: I have my back glass tinted and...

Has anybody heard something about special window tinting is needed on the Model 3 because of the electronics? I was told it needs a special type of film. Also anybody that has tinted the windows, what did you do with the glass roof? Did you also tint that? Thanks!

inquiring about model 3 tint at EE Auto, and this is their reply: any other recommendation?

I recently received a quote for window tinting and discussed several options with the installer. Option #1 Tint all side windows and use one piece to cover the most rear portion of the rear glass to the farthest defroster line. Option #2 Tint all side windows and use larger piece to cover the...

Hi Guys! I have been debating on which tint would be better for my red M3. I have researched online and it seems that Huper Optik and 3M crystalline are my top choices (also have installers in my area). Which one would you guys recommend more? Heat rejection is the main reason for installing...

Lots of info for So Cal, so thought I’d post for Vegas Tesla Crew..we just got tinted at Green Valley window tint in Henderson. They are one of two 3M Crystaline dealers in Las Vegas area. We had them do 40 on every window except front, front was done in 70, which is essentially clear but...

I'm looking for a recommendation of a good place in the Sacramento area. Done some Google searches but many have decent star ratings but that doesn't really tell me anything. I'm looking for something more direct from the horses mouth, so to say. Also looking for some suggestions on getting a...

Hi everyone, I've been reading all the various threads on window tinting and different films. I have narrowed it down to the SunTek carbon or ceramic films. I can find a bunch of thoughts on the carbon films, since they've been around awhile. The ceramic ones though look to be very...

I just picked up my S60 today. Absolutely adore the car, and now I'm thinking about how to beautify and protect it, and I'd love to get your thoughts. My car is on a two year lease, so I don't want go too crazy (saving the splurge for my Model 3 P100L coming in 2018!). So cost-effective...

In case anyone has their windows tinted, they should be aware of an issue with the driver windows. My window tinter engaged the lever inside the door latch to make the door think it was closed, this caused the window to go up so he could tint the entire window. However, when he did this the...

I took delivery on 12/31 - have had my Model X for 3 weeks. At first I thought this was fatigue or age (43) or bad vision, but it's not. At night, when looking through the front windshield straight ahead, I see two sets of brakelights on cars in front of me - one set low and the other set...

Anyone considering tint for their Model X (when it finally arrives)? I'd like to color/shade match the driver's and front passenger's side windows to that of the rear/side windows for a continues/monolithic appearance. It looks like the back windows come factory tinted like many other cars on...
