Not if the tint installers are used to dealing with cars that do this (almost all luxury cars have this feature). I asked my tint shop how they did it and they showed me a really simple way... they just used a wooden dowel to push on the door latch so the door thought it was closed and rolled up the window. After that they could get the entire glass area. No rolling down of windows for a few days, I just left my car outside in the sun after getting it tinted and it was fine 24 hours later.

Got mine tinted at Signature Glass in Costa Mesa. Thanks to those in this thread who referred them, I was shopping around for a week or so and they seemed to have best reviews and competitive pricing. Went with 15% ceramic tint on all four sides and back, love it!

Yes at signature. Had to sign a waiver. They said if it cracked I would have to go to Tesla for replacement. I thought that was fair, I trust Tesla would cover the replacement. I signed, no issues with cracks for me.

Maybe I shouldn’t be posting this but I feel sorry for you guys paying over $500+ for tinting all windows except the windshield.
I found a gem in my neighborhood who did my car for under $400.
Edwin the owner of Silverlake Tint shop does business windows during the day and takes car after that. He works crazy hour. I had a graduation party to attend the night I dropped off my car (4pm) and he was done midway through the event but he waited until midnight for me to pick up my car. Got the 35% film.
He does use LLumar ceramic one piece film on the back window/roof. I’ve used LLumar on my previous cars for the last 20 years and no issues with them fading or changing colors whatsoever. My 2001 Jetta which I sold last month had Lumar 35% film. Still looks great for 17 year old tint.
Look Edwin up and tell him Paolo sent you. Maybe I’ll get a discount for a protective wrap.

Nevertipsy posted this in another thread. Rodz has a shop in Ontario. I have no personal experience, but Yelp reviews are decent.
Accutintpro.com in Upland has done a bunch of Model 3's, but it seems like he is using Ceramic Hybrid (from his website) even though he does offer a full ceramic version. He has Model 3 pics and pricing on his website.
I know this may come across as annoying and argumentative, and it isn't meant that way. It is a pet peeve of mine, and I firmly believe that words matter. ESPECIALLY as it pertains to our laws and lawyering.
"Accident" Should not be used as the catch-all term for things that go bump on the road. These are crashes, collisions, wrecks. There are precious few accidents. And the biggie is a crash that happens due to negligence (most of them, by far). These crashes are never accidents.
If a crash is caused by DUI, by speeding, by inattention, by lack of skill, by tinted windows.... it is not an accident.
Tons more to say on the subject, and why so many national and global safety orgs are no longer using "accident" to mean crash. But I'll do my best to stop here!
Now... back to tinting and not crashing!

I went 35% Spectra Photosync on the doors and rear window. The rear window was done in one piece. The windshield got 70% 3M Crystalline.
