Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[JB47394]

So to confirm it means the tint was be 70% or higher. Not 30% ?

I think I've confused the crap out of this. When you guys talk about tints, you're going by their VLT number? That is, a "70% tint" lets 70% of light through?

Yes. And 70% is nothing I think my dirty windows have a lower percentage lol

 

[JB47394]

Yes. And 70% is nothing I think my dirty windows have a lower percentage lol

Thanks. I hate shorthand. So it's "70% VLT tint" and I have been in violent agreement with @SkunkApe. Yay me.

in a nutshell.... tint laws in NYS are hot garbage. Basically the factory window is legal and that's it

Woke up to a tiny EDD change this morning of 5 days sooner but a tighter window. July 14-Aug 11. Of course, like most others here, it is starting to fall right in line with my vacation and a million other things I have going on during that time. I will leave the beach early to pick this sucker up if I have to though.

 

[RobertsM3SR]

EDD bumped up from Oct 15 - Dec 10 to September 7 - Oct 19

 

[Mwhusa]

Starting my countdown, exactly 6 days to go until I pick up my M3LR. Tossing around a few names in my head and will settle on which one pops in when I first see it.
I have one more fill up required on my truck. Gas today is $4.75 at my favored station. Thanks goodness it’s only a 15 gallon tank.
Sure hope all goes well .

From a customer standpoint, yes.

I’m not sure about that. I actually appreciate the ability to pay more for faster delivery. I didn’t end up doing this, but if I had really wanted to get my car sooner I could have. This is simply customer segmentation. Not all customers want the car the same; those who want more can pay for more.

[tuffs85]

I did window tinting today for $400.
35% and it's amazing.

Pics?

 

[threeputts]

Although I have ordered Model 3 LR, but I am still hesitant between model 3 LR and model Y.

Can you guys share why you chose to buy model 3 over model Y? Just wanted to gain more confidence on my choice. Thanks!

I have a Y and a 3. Cost, ride, noise, handling, acceleration all better with the 3. Cargo space, backseat for adults and OEM trailer hitch are the advantages of the Y.

 

[7BaconTacos]

Day 77 for me today. Odds on getting a vin today?

New York DMV says that 30% is the maximum.

Tinted windows

I'm surprised that 35% can be offered in the state. I guess inspection stations just don't care.

Delaware laws allow 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission which is same as 30% tint) on the front side windows and anything on the rear side windows and back window. As a general rule, no tinting is allowed below the AS1 line on front windshields. I inquired about tinting at Tint World in Delaware. They offer tinting as dark as 5% VLT (Limo tint). They will also tint the front windshield to any percentage the customer wants. The employee I spoke with over the phone said they have police officers bring in their personal cars for tinting as well. They told him that they don't really pay attention to how much tint vehicles have on the road. Only when they pull someone over for some other reason, then they will look at the tint and probably issue a citation.

I still want to tint my new car to protect myself from UV, IR and Solar radiation as well as to limit what random people can see in my vehicle. I plan to visit Tint World to get a better feel for what darkness is best for me. I've never had tint on any of my vehicles before so I'm really looking forward to a new experience.

getting so close new Edd is 11-17 hoping I can schedule delivery by this week.

 

[James72]

I did 35% in the front and 15% in the back. If there were no tint laws i'd definetly do 20% in the front or darker, (50% is legal in ohio, so im already pushing it at 35%). See my profile picture for the comparison.

Can't wait until I get my M3LR and I love AZ window tint laws..lol It's the first thing I'm doing once I get it.

Tint darkness for sedans: Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 33% of light in. Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used. Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.
