I found a shop to do tinting on my Model 3. Going with the Model 3 flow, I want to use Photosync IRD.
When I inquired about doing the windshield, I got this response:
1) I didn't know Photosync comes in 75%? Does it?
2) Anyone hear of this A pillar issue?
When I inquired about doing the windshield, I got this response:
"Good Morning Gerhard,
The rolls of Photosync we have in stock are the 75% and the 45%.
With the Model 3’s we actually do not tint the windshields.
A few months back I had a meeting with the service manager at the Owings Mills location and found out that due to the A-pillars next to the windshield having computer chips in them tinting the windshield is not recommended.
There have been others shops that have tried and have gotten a small amount of water in there and fried the computer system and this is a $10,000 repairs so we have decided to just not do the install."
