Tesla Model 3 Tint Feedback?

[ghsnick!]

I plan on tinting my Model 3, but I’m unsure of what I want to do.

I got the Tesla Shade for the roof, so I won’t be tinting the roof.

I’ve been looking at the Xpel Prime XR Plus ceramic.

I’m definitely doing the 4 side windows and rear window...but I’m unsure of how dark I want to go. I was thinking either 20 or 30...if anyone could post pictures of theirs that would be awesome!

Also, part of me wants to do the windshield, but I don’t want to mess anything up. I assume they remove the A Pillars and maybe the front camera covers to lay the tint? But I’m nervous about liquid damage.

Im not sure if it messes with autopilot...or if I should just do the top part of the windshield...I’m truly torn.

Any insight or feedback or pics of your tint jobs would be awesome! Thanks

My recommended tint after a ton of research is FormulaOne Pinnacle or Stratos (slightly higher IR rejection) tint. For the front windshield they would go around the camera and not in front of the camera. They would not have to remove anything. It would be cut to fit.

20% all around except the sunroof and windshield.

30% all the way except roof and front.

 

[ghsnick!]

Both of these look great!

So neither of you did the windshield or roof?

Thank you for going with XPEL PRIME XR PLUS, it's an incredible film that can block up to 98% of infrared heat (the heat you can feel) rejection and blocks 99.9% of UVA and UVB cancer causing rays with a lifetime transferable warranty.

Typically on a passenger car, people will do 20% all the way around, or depending on the tint laws in your state, they'll do 35% front two doors, then 20% on everything else. Doing the windshield and sunroof is extremely common. **Please check tint laws in your state**

My bad

My bad

In all seriousness though, it’s the sharpest MSM I’ve seen. Well done.

I did 20% for all four windows and back glass, left roof without and factory tint is fine there imo. I also did something like 65% or 70% on the windshield.

All of my previous cars have had 30-35% tint but my detailer, who tints many Teslas, recommended a bit darker since I have the white and black interior. That was good advice.

Thanks man. I love it.

I wish I could find some wrap that matched so I could try to stealth the door handles

Maybe it's increasing

Make sure the shop you pick does the rear window in one piece. I did the roof too and am extremely glad I did otherwise I would have been unsatisfied and had to take the car back in to have it done. The tinted roof is awesome.

Looks fantastic! I have white as well but am torn between 20% and 30%. Anyone have white exterior with 30% or 35% tint they can post on here to compare?

I ended up getting 3M Crystalline 20 on the rear and back sides. I believe 70 on the front sides. If there was a Crystalline 30 I think I would have preferred that but the only other option was 40 which was too light in my opinion.

Those heating wires stand out to much now, that is why I would never tint the back windows.
The sides look great.

 

[Dre78]

Wish I would have went darker as ceramic tint on a white car with white interior looks very light.

Before/After Tint: 35% Stratos windows; 70% windshield

I love @Wampa 's tint!

 

[outie]

25% side windows only.

Any suggestions for good tint shops in San Diego?
