Is this tint quote as bonkers as I think?

[ent3ndu]

3M Crystalline

All 6 side windows: $500 (seems normal for that film)
Rear one piece: $800 (?!?!!?!)

Also, what do you think of this PPF quote:

Suntek Ultra: Full Hood, Fenders, Front Bumper, Headlights, Fog Lights, Front of Side Mirrors and Loading Deck Strip.
"Basic Sealant" ceramic coating on the film
$2,500

 

[tracksyde]

Yes, its bonkers.. both quotes

 

[Silicon Desert]

Hmmm, my experience was.
All windows (except windshield) with ceramic film on model X was $410.
Outside film and ceramic coat $1825. Probably some places even cheaper. Also depends on what kind of materials being used.
I wonder if some shop attendents say to their buddy "Here comes a Tesla. He has money. Charge a 50% premium"

We have comparable products and packages for less money. It does vary on the materials and quality of installation too. Give us a call a quote. We will be happy to explain your options

Sounds like the shop does not have the larger size roll of tint in stock to do one piece install. They are most likely charging you much more since they have to special order it and unless other Tesla are getting tinted there as well then the rest of the roll ends up wasted.
Same issue I had, no one carried the larger roll and was going to cost extra to get it done as one piece.

It is bonkers, but that's the norm for SV. I got 3M Crystaline all glass except the sunroof, one piece back installed for $1325 cash in Santa Clara. I've not done a PPF, but gotten quotes for the full body in $4800 to 6500 range from the top shops.

Read and weep. Not saying it is right, it is just the reality in some parts of the world. Supply and demand.

Here's how much you have to make to be considered 'low income' in San Francisco

They said it was one piece (it’s ocdetailing)

 

[Metropolitan Detail]

It's reasonable for a good job. OC Detailing is one of the best in the industry so you'll get what you pay for and more. A good clear bra isn't cheap and a cheap clear bra isn't good.

I had all 6 windows and the rear glass tinted with 3M crystalline for $450 total...

Damn, it would be cheaper to drive to you and have it done.

 

[chowfun]

Those are reasonable prices. To do the back window in 3M in one piece they would need to order a special 5' wide roll. I personally never got a quote for back window, but $800 for special order is not out of the question. You are also paying for the installer's reputation.

not a 3 but an S.... I paid $1100 for full ceramic grade tint including front windshield at 70%....so I'd say, your quote is ok...

Precision Tint in Knoxville, TN
They also do have a detail shop & paint protection shop next door and they will work together so you get everything done in one day.
Edit: Adding they are a local shop that has been in business for years and do exceptional work at what I think is a great price.

Check out Transparent glass coatings in Aptos, they use Llumar tint films. I had them do side windows and back of my MS with Formula 1 pinnacle ceramic (including 1 piece back) for $369 - next level up to Stratos was about double that
