Hello everyone,
I’m new in this forum and this is my first post. I tried to look for my issue but I couldn’t find any overheated article after tinting with 3M crystalline the whole Model Y. Here is my story:
I got my Model Y Performance white with white interior less 2 weeks ago (on May 14th). I park the car outside in San Diego area, it has been cloudy (May gray) all these past days, so not really hot outside. However the cabin started to heat up (around 120 degrees - 125 degrees) so I saw myself venting the car from the app constantly, with not really a big difference.
I decided to tiny with the best heat rejection tinting in the market. It seems 3M crystalline is the way to go. I spent more than 2k to tint the whole car (40 on the sides and back and 70 windshield and sunroof). I also applied PPF to the full front. I did this in a reputable tinting shop in San Diego with great reviews in yelp and google, so I felt confident with it and spending the money would be worth it.
However, today May 29th is sunny but just around 70 degrees outside.
To my surprise, the interior cabin reached 130 degrees.
I wasn’t expecting the tinting will completely avoid the cabin to get hot, I know it reduces the speed to get hot or in certain way reduce the heat overall. I am very surprised / disappointed on this.
Anyone has bad this issue too after tinting with 3M crystalline or similar? What can I do to avoid getting the car so hot inside?
If this is like this now, how it’s going to be when it’s 100 degrees out there?
Thank you everyone for reading and commenting if you have any suggestion.
Also sorry for my English if I wrote something wrong (I’m from Spain).
Cheers!
