Heat rejection question for Raleigh NC owners

[pkz0125]

We have a brutal (at least for me) summer this year in Raleigh. I am taking the delivery of my new model X next week. Do I need to tint the windows for heat rejection? Are there MX owners who didn't have the tint but added it later? Did it make a big difference? Did you tint just the windows or windows and windshield?

Get the car and make a determination your self. I'm sure that there are people in Alaska that get tinted to keep the car cool.

Have you tinted other cars, probably not much need to change

We got the white interior for the summers here in Arizona. That's been good enough for me. I haven't felt the need to tint the windows. Especially when you only really have the front side windows and windshield that aren't already tinted. The A/C has been pulling the temperature down quick enough. Of course we don't have your humidity.

ETA: oops, mostly X for the above. The 3 is not as well tinted as the X from the factory. Nonetheless, even my wife who has always had tinted windows has not tinted the 3, so far.
