Identical colour combination to mine. I'll take some pics for you tomorrow. I'm a fan of black on black, so you might be able work out my interior choices as well. In my opinion the tinting made a dramatic improvement to the look of an already great exterior.

Yes you can legally do the back window. I used accredited window tinting. Speak with Greg. Did a great job.

I also got mine done at 35% using SunTek ceramic tint. It made a big difference last summer (and looks great).

Pano roof fantastic today. 41 degrees and no heat penetration. Ditto not through my tinted windows, also 35%.

Do you get the front windscreen tinted as well? or is it just the sides and rear at 35% ?
i think i found my answer for NSW (source: http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roads/safety-rules/standards/vsi-03-rev3.pdf )

No screen at all. The screen is metalised and does seem to prevent some heat penetration. You can tell that because of the difficulty of find a spot where toll transponders will work. ( right at the very top of the screen just the left of electronics cluster. Possibly same spot on the right as well, but must be up touching the roof liner.).

Hey dsm363, fancy seeing you here in the Aussie forum
Ive heard a lot of great things about the PhotoSync tint on this and other forums, but unfortunately it is not available in Australia (at least that's the case a couple of months ago). I asked my detailer if he could order some from the US, but apparently PhotoSync requires a substantial upfront commitment before they'd sell you any, and it wasn't viable for a small business like him, especially since I was the only one asking for this tint. I ended up going with Johnson Insulatir.
You tell me now dborn! I've finally discovered that location (on the right side) as the only place inside the car that my garage remote works. Need homelink!. Velcro'd the remote up there and it works well.

for fear of hijacking the thread where this was mentioned, I'll post here. Hopefully help out others in the future too.
I'm interested in this 3M Crystalline 40 tinting. Seems like it's the latest technology and I love latest technology.
Can anyone in Sydney recommend an installer?

Anyone in Qld consider getting it done at Autonexus which is where the cars arrive anyway? They do say they do window tinting and other after market "chemicals".

Go to the 3m website in Oz. They have a list of authorized installers around the country. Or just click here: Find a Dealer - Residential & Commercial

thanks, went through it and found an installer. Sent them an email, but they don't seem to have done Teslas in the past. Seems reputable, however, and good reviews on the web.
the 3M crystalline stuff is about $600 more expensive than the "standard" 3M Colour Stable tint, so I don't think i'll go with it.
Also i've been doing some research into the opticoat paint protection side of things. It seems the best stuff right now is the GTechniq Crystal Serum (CS). More expensive than the "standard" GTechniq Crystal Lacquer (C1), but new technology etc etc and only about $100 more expensive. Both CS and C1 seem to be better than opticoat. The installer will do both tinting and paint protection which is convenient.
[edit] ECIT they were the mob i found as well. Colin - they have an presence in the central coast.. a bit better than sydney, but still a long way from you [/edit]

In Brisbane, I used http://www.solarstyle.net.au with 3M film at 35% (max permissible) for $398 all up back and windows. Good job done in May 2015.
