Tesla Model Y Windshield Tint

[Angelo7]

Has anyone had any issues tinting the windshield on the model Y? I have been reading up on older posts about the model 3 and how tinting the windshield can cause electrical damage. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

No issues for me. Just bring to a competent tinter with Tesla hours and you'll be fine.

I am on my third tinted windshield. First one ended up with a large bubble right in my sightline. Gave it a couple of weeks to dissolve and it never did. Had them reinstall and on the second tint, the windshield gave a very distorted view (didn't have this issue with the first tint). Had all my other windows tinted and was very happy with the result (3M). Shop tried a different brand (name is escaping me) for the third attempt and I am happy now. I have seen a couple of different threads on the "distorted/hazy" view that can happen. Strange how I didn't have this issue on the first, but did on the second. It was immediately noticable,

Got my windshield tinted with the lunenix double cermanic 80%, no issues here. There’s a slight line if you catch it at the wrong angle but not anything that is in my field of vision. It makes a huge difference here in Arizona

Mine has been tinted (70% Xpel ceramic) for a couple of months now. No issues other than minor rainbow effect with polarized glasses. TBH I hate the idea of any tint on the windshield, but the Y's windshield lets in a ton of heat.

Here is a test you can do to tell which part of the car needs tinting. Park under the sun for 5 minutes. Then touch the surface right below the glass where the sun hits. If it is hot that glass needs tinting, if not it does not.
I tested my model Y, only front windows and windshield lets heat in. Nothing else needs tinting.
I would not let a dude in a random shop to work on my windshield with so many sensors and electronics around it.
So I only tinted front windows.
Don't let tint shops fool you into tinting the rest of the car.

I agreed 100% with you. I only tinted the front windows with CTX 30%

Went 25% in the front two to match the back.

Went 70% ceramic in the front. Happy I did

Ceramic tint in AZ and no issues. Like Cp1484 said, it’s necessary here.

I’ve got 70% Crystalline on my windshield… it’s critical in SoFlo. Also got 30% driver passenger windows and 25% all rear in 3M Ceramic IR. It’s made a world of a difference
