Who's tinted their windows?

Any chance you have a side shot of your car? I'm contemplating the same % for both front and rear windows, but wasn't sure if the white interior meant i should increase the %. Thanks in advance!

Texas DPS has zero sense of humor about tint. So I have to play by most of their rules. (I just slapped the front plate on the car yesterday and it makes me ill to look at it. I may remove it. I hate it...a lot.

What kind of interior temps are you seeing mid day after parking the car for 15 minutes or so? I know tint isn’t going to drastically keep a car cool while parked long term, but I’m curious how good it is at slowing down how fast it heats up. Trying to figure if I’ve been driving with a cool cabin and then go into the store for 15 to 20 minutes, is the cabin back at like 105F or has it only warmed up to like 85F or so...

Also, anyone have any cracking issues? I was all ready to tint with Xpel and then started reading issues about cracking & Tesla starting to push back a little that the tint could potentially act as a reason for them to deny warranty repairs. (Not sure if they have for anyone yet, but sounds like they’ve started to threaten)

My car rarely goes above 101 since buying it. But from watching my app, mid day heat, I have seen increases from 70 to 87 (15 mins) and 70 to 107(20mins) (this was the only time mine has ever read above 101). It was like 110 outside
