Thanks!
They are 20" M3 Sportwheels in satin black powder coat with 255 Michelin tires.
I got the idea from here:

They will, with some exceptions.
Caveat too that we don't know the load rating for 20" M3 Sportwheels. I have since reverted to 19" Gemini wheels for MYPUP.
See this thread for more info re fitment:
18" Aero wheels and Model Y load limits
Xpel Prime XR Plus. 70% windshield, 20% on driver/passenger windows then 70% on the rest. We did not do the glass roof yet.

I think there is some heat rejection. I would find it hard to believe that Tesla said “let’s make a full glass roof”... but not add heat
I gotta believe there’s at least some heat rejection on that roof. Seems like it’d be a complete oversight if it doesn’t.
My tint shop said I’d have to sign a waiver to tint the roof on the Y due to them not having too much knowledge on it and “thermal shock”. We are in Vegas so it does get hot. We’ll see how this Summer goes. Maybe I’ll just buy some shade covers

I'm only interested in Windshield UV protection (I think I would loose some visibility at night), what kind of film do you recommend using?
Note: I plan also to put a darker top windshield film, the size of the camera holder, how much % and film do you recommend?
Should I get the Windshield UV protection covering the full windshield and then put the darker cover on top of the UV film?
Or should I get three independent pieces, and put first the two darker pieces on each side of the camera, and then the UV film below?

Did they make you sign a waiver for the roof? My local Xpel shop said they were worried about thermal shock (I’m in Vegas so it’s hot, 108*F today) and I’d have to sign a waiver for them to do it. What’d they charge for the roof btw?
I didn't get the roof done, just windshield and sides. I meant rear as in the back seat windows but I don't feel much heat coming from the roof glass so didn't feel it was necessary

Anyone who got the windshield done notice a difference in terms of heat? That black dash gets crazy hot and impacts the AC quite a bit. I'm seriously considering it. It was 105 yesterday and I almost thought the air was broken until it finally cooled the cabin down. Any thoughts on windshield tint in general are appreciated.
I have some questions too.
Does the 70% tint on the windshield affect visibility at night at all? Does it improve it as far as headlight glare goes? I'm getting older and headlights are starting to bother me.
With 70%, is it obvious that the windshield is tinted?
we’ve got the windshield tinted in both our 3 & Y. It makes a big difference even at the 70% in terms of heat. In terms of seeing through it, no problems at all at night. It just takes the edge off of and most of the heat. Tint doesn’t need to be dark to work well, most of the heat rejection is in the material used not the color which is a common thing people don’t understand.
I thought I can go without having the windshield tinted. However even in just CA heat, the cabin got very toasty after sitting outside for hours on end.
Enough is enough, made appointment to get it done, 60-70% ceramic..

Good question. I thought maybe he put Alloygators on. I want to add them but the distributor has not seen the wheels so they could t tell me if they would fit.
