Hows night visibility with 20% tint all around?

I don't think that's right. The LR AWD I just picked up less than a month ago sure seems to end up with dim mirrors at night.

You have a build date earlier than February, 2020 then.

20% on front is unsafe.

Not at all. Have you experienced it? I've had windshields tinted since 1996 with zero safety issues.

20% is too dark. After tinting my windows for 8 years, I've concluded that 30 to 35% is ideal. Solar guard carbon tint (not the best one in the world, i agree) 35% will give you enough heat deflection and still maintain a fairly nice dark profile on the windows without reducing visibility.
Go with 30% all around. Cali doesn't allow front window tinting, but I've never been stopped by anyone...even when parked next to a cop. No tickets so far. It's been 8 years and 4 cars

Read your state guidelines. I had 25% and state trooper stopped me and had to stip. Also I hated it at night. Visibility is less. Wear sun-glasses at day.

I'd be worried about what the "other guy's" lawyer would be able to do with my "reduced visibility" in any kind of accident. So I have 70% sides and back for heat reduction, nothing on the windshield. You can barely notice it. Not stylish, I know!

Yep I really hate my 25% at night. Ugh.

I'm getting my car tinted next week and strongly leaning towards 20% - if you have 20% hows night visibility with the mirrors?

thanks

I have two Model 3’s. My first one an SR+ I tinted all around at 20% and my night vision isn’t the best so I don’t like it.

I just got a P3D+’and went with 30% and it’s slightly better and looks just as sharp (and close to state legal limit)

I have 30% all around and can see fine during the day.

I have issues seeing at night due to the auto dimming...I noticed this was an issue even before I tinted my windows though.

Yep...same here.

I have 20% tint all around and 50% tint on the windshield and the only issue I have driving at night is with the auto-dimming side mirrors.

Thanks everyone, I got the 20% done and I am happy with it, no major issues with visibility so far for the past week I've driven late at night.

so how does a pedestrian know now whether you have acknowledged him?

When you don’t run him/her/other over.
