Thanks you just made my mind up for me. I am going to push for 20% (35% is the legal limit in GA). Looks so good! And not to mention helps so much with heat going a little darker than 35%. Plus seeing it on a green car, too easy.
Pearl white P85 with ceramic tint. Can't remember the brand or % rating, but it's the darkest allowed legally in Texas.

I went to Executive Tint. I got the ceramic package with all door windows plus rear. Ask for Brandon.

Congrats! Longest three weeks of you life I bet! DC Auto Tinting in Henderson. They did a very nice job. You are going to love your car! : )

Thanks for the tip. You're definitely right about a long couple of weeks, but I think I prefer it this way to wondering if the car is on a truck, where it's going, when it will get here, etc. I know that at 11:00 a.m. on a certain day in Feb. I will go to the factory and the car will be there. The certainty is worth getting it a few days late, I think.

I ended up going with the Huper Optik Ceramic Window tint (40%) for my Pearl White Model S. I will put up pictures shortly.

I've read H.O. film has the best optical clarity with minimal haziness and bluish hue. Can you confirm? I've narrowed it down to H.O. ceramic or Wincos.

Pix as promised. I thought it matched the roof and windshield the best but you can judge for yourself.

I moved away from my usual tinter, I will give Executive a shot based on your recommendation. I take it you like the job they did. How was service and scheduling? Do they offer "Ranger" service too? Are they fast? Already Brandon is getting two referrals from you... he owes you :wink:
BTW, I usually go for the least dark tint... Besides being darker and blocking a little more heat, anyone want to convince me to go darker? Also, do any of these tints affect your cellular signal strength?

I removed the clearwindshield film as I found it not clear enough.
Shown here, CR50 tint on the sides and CR40 tint on the rear.
I'm very happy with the job they did. It only took them about 1.5 hours to complete the job. I don't know about ranger service options though.
I think darker tint looks best on most cars so that's always my choice. Supposedly the ceramic tint doesn't affect electronics as much, plus it blocks more heat. That's why I chose it even though it's more expensive.

No. Frameless windows that drop .5 inch are quite common (my Corvette had this, I believe it's common on BMW's, etc). There's nothing unusual about tinting a Tesla. Those little triangular pieces looks like they will suck to tint but your tint guy can see them and should be able to give you an estimate.
We're taking ours in on 3/9. Going 50 on the rear, 35 on the rear sides, and trying to decide between 35 or 50 on the front sides.
50 on rear and 35 on sides? You know that 50 is lighter than 35, right? Unusual config..usually people have the rear darker and sides a bit lighter (so as not to get pulled over as often). I am still planning on putting 3M Crystalline 40 all around (except windshield).
