Tint xPEL XR PLUS - Blue Hue to it...

XPel XR Plus

55% Windshield
15% two front
45%two rear
15% hatch

* I do have a sunshade in the roof did not tint the roof so there is no light coming In the vehicle


I recently got my tints done by a company that has a good reputation. However, there were two things I mentioned that I wanted to avoid.

1 - the potential of having a blue look to the tints. They said that there wasn’t hue blue look to it and that it was going to look black like traditional

By the photos, you can clearly see the blue and it's really bugging me. I’m not used to it. I even ask if maybe the XPel XR Black would be a better option ( keep in mind I have never had this ceramic installed before so I trusted them ) I went to the most expensive one solely because I was told I was not going to have a blue hue

2 - I was looking for a shadow type of coverage not 5% full black. They recommended 55 and it feels like I don’t even have 70 on the windshield. Yes, it blocks heat and all that wonderfully but I just wanted more dark front windshield as I live in Florida I have always done this way.

Because it's BARELY noticeable on the two front windows... I was thinking of changing the windshield tint to XR Black at 45% and keeping the XR Plus in everything else...

I also believe the white interior has a lot to do with it but wonder if anyone here that has the same interior has done the same..

Another option would be to change all tints to XR Black and be done with it to assure no blue but my tint company seems like will accommodate to whatever needs to be done.

thank you in advance.

Its due to your light white interior for sure....you can always go a shade of two darker with the white.

IMO it still looks good, I have 3M Ceramic IR film and its MORE blue than yours and even with the black interior it seems to be lighter than other films.

I have 55% on the windshield and 35% on the rest of the car. I wouldn't go darker on the windshield because you do lose some visibility and detail at night for sure, but wish I went darker on the sides. Oh well, next time!

Side note....seems that tinting over late model Tesla's factory tinted glass is a huge waste of time and money.

Unless of course you need/want it darker than the approx. 15% factory VLT level.

All you really need to do is the front doors and windshield on a current Y/X for example.

Here's one about the the Model Y/3...and this is by a tint shop that takes money for tinting.

I don't have the windows in our MYLR tinted yet. But I can can tell you that compared to my Subaru Ascent with 80% 3M Crystalline on it, in direct sun the Ascent is much cooler than the Tesla. It's typically over 100° daily here, and I can definitely feel the heat in the Tesla much more than in the Ascent.

I had the fronts of my MYP tinted with Xpel XR+. I don't see any blue at all in it, but my interior is black. I just asked them to match the rear factory tint and they did a great job.
