I was honestly hesitant at first since I had the same concern as you where I didn’t want the top part of the rear windshield to be too dark and defeat the purpose of the panoramic roof but to me it feels fine. Noticeably darker but not dark enough that I can still see what’s above me pretty well. I honestly wouldn’t go any darker than 30% on the rears though.
Wrap Dynamics in Pflugerville. They do excellent work. They are also super-busy and work on a lot of Supercars.
Am torn about Chrome delete in general. Chrome on Red looked terrible to me, but now Black on Red reminds me too much of the ubiquitous Camry.

So did anyone decide and go through with PPF? Any suggestions? Looking to get tint and that done ASAP but I already have some good tint suggestions in this thread.
I don't know about his PPF work, that's a more recent addition to his services, but lots of Tesla owners in Austin (including myself) have used him for detailing and ceramic coating ever since the first Model S in 2012. I think Cosmin does excellent detailing work and that's the unanimous opinion of the Austin owners who have used him over the years. He will teach you how to hand wash your car properly to maintain the finish he gives it.

Cosmin did ceramic coating for me about 4 years ago. I thought he did a great job. Not sure when he started doing PPF, but by then he was offering PPF installs. I've heard nothing but positive things about his services.
Signed contract to go solar! ~25 LG 325W set to go up in the fall. SunPro solar was the winner. Absolute cost was not the lowest but extensive warranty and customer service won out. (Georgetown Utilities customer here) PM for more details if anyone is curious!

I'm in RR, which dealership are you referencing? If I can swing by there, maybe I can get some pics for you.Not sure if this is the absolute best place for this post, but it does say "ALL THINGS Austin", so.
I'm looking at a 2017 X90D at a dealership in the Austin area (Round Rock). Would any kind soul be available to go by and eyeball it for me? I'm in SC, and would probably end up needing to buy sight unseen and have it shipped. PM me if you can help!

We have Tesla Solar in Round Rock. We had it installed about a month and half ago and we are waiting on Oncor and State inspections before we have the permission to turn it on.

They are limited, more that I was expecting, in their Install areas. I'm hoping they can move past that and service more people around our area. We have several friends of whom would like to use as referrals, but can't since Tesla doesn't install in their area.Too bad tesla energy doesn't work with Georgetown

Thanks for replying! We decided to go a different direction and reserved a Model 3. Will save up another couple years for the X.

We will be using Authentic Details in Pflugerville, aka ClearBra North Austin. They are going to do our Paint Correction, PPF and Window Tint. They also offer a Veteran's Discount @10%.
We take delivery of our car (hopefully) on 9/27 and we plan to drop the car off on our way home and have them get started on the protection before we my wife begins her daily commute to Temple.

We are going the same route. Model 3 first and then a X later down the road.Thanks for replying! We decided to go a different direction and reserved a Model 3. Will save up another couple years for the X.
One thing to keep in mind if you're with Austin Energy is that they still charge you for charging up your Powerwall/battery bank, whether it's sourced from the grid OR your solar array. So the only benefit you get from a Powerwall or battery bank is the option to have power if there's a grid blackout.
Does AE even allow power wall? Or do they only allow it if it does not back feed onto the grid (which would not benefit anyway as it's grid power anyway).
I'm pretty sure I'm going with Duane at XPEL. I already have my appointment scheduled so I can, hopefully, just drive off the lot and go drop off my car to be stealth PPF wrapped and tinted

They do not. At least, if you want to get the solar rebate from AE, you have to agree to feed your production back into the grid for 10 years.

I should add that I've also had XPEL Austin do PPF for one of my cars. They did a great job.
