Wincos by Madico Window Films. 32% on the front sides to be legal in TX. 10% on the rear sides and the back. The gloss black B-pillar is a nice transition from the lighter front tint to the darker in back. So, it doesn't look stark. They did the large back window in one piece. Tinted the sunroof portion with a clear film just to add heat rejection. I use the OEM sunshade from Tesla when I want it darker, then remove it when I want more light. 10% on the back is not too hard for me to see out of during the day and I still see car lights at night but with greatly reduced glare. Well worth the investment. Flexshield in Denton, TX did the work and they're awesome. Probably the highest quality tint job I've gotten on any vehicle. They did the windshield as well with a clear film and it's virtually undetectable. Very satisfied.

One thing I noticed that I didn’t like about the back windshield tint is that the inside of the cabin is a bit darker now. While I had my 4 windows tinted (15%) and had left the backwindhsield untinted for a month (had to wait for them to order a long sheet) inside was still bright. For some odd reason I notice that the light difference has an effect on how you perceive quickness/fastness when you mash the pedal. It use to feel very fast I think due to partly the openess feel of it. But when I look at the front mirror now to look back, what’s behind me in the car is quite gloomy. Sitting in the back seat and looking up doesn’t feel as open as it use to be (duh) but I guess what I’m trying to figure out if it would have made a difference if I had went with 30% tint. Either way I was going to get the backshield window tinted. 15% looks gorgeous from behind. I did debate on getting 30% but was afraid it wasn’t a uniforming look and wanted it to look dark from the outside.
