Tesla glass even the front glass does have UV protection and it even has IR rejection. The roof comes 2% from the factory and it does a great job rejecting UV and heat. Best way to tint MY is XPEL XR Plus 15 on the front windows as the VLT is closer to 19%. The rear windows come factory 23%. That will make them martch. Then you do XPEL XR Plus 70 on the windshield
I think you made a good choice. XPEL is a great brand. I recommend doing the windshield too. I will be doing the same on my MY when it comes next week. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great! I got mine tinted in florida…at 20% all around…..I’m considering the top…..i also did the full frontal ppf……. My next move is to get ceramic on the surface.. to make it easier to clean…….the ppf on the bumper is definitely a must….the Teslas seem to bug magnets in the front! Good job!
should of went 20% on the front two doors and 70% on the rear doors and rear window for an even look. Nice cars like this need to have even looking tint
@@ozzie3056 15% is darker than legal for the 2 front doors in Texas. Texas is also one of the states that makes a big deal about it being darker than legal
Pro tip- if you have white interior go darker on tint. I just got the 35% ceramic and can’t tell it’s even tinted do to light interior. Your 30% looks a lot darker than mine. Considering doing 70% on front windshield to help even out. If I had to do it over again would have went with 20% on front windows.
Nice! I saw a Model S last weekend with a tinted windshield ( had to have been 50%) and it looked amazing. I'm not sure how high the fine is if you get caught but it looked amazing!!!
@@SpokenReviews 2022 model S with white interior. Ended up with 55% front windshield 15% front, rear and back window 5% roof glass. Only thing I would change is instead of doing 5% glass roof, I would of done 55% like the front windshield
@@SpokenReviews do you have twitter? I'll show you my two setups. Model 3 70% on windshield, 20% front rear and triangle, and 5% roof and rear. Model Y 30% windshield , 5% the rest. All 3M nanoceramic. For roof I'll recommend 3M crystalline. 50%.
I went with Xpel XR Plus. 70% front windshield, plus 30% eyebrow. 30% front driver and passenger windows. 30% for all back windows. Finally went 60% for the sunroof. Made a huge difference.
@@SpokenReviews absolutely love it. I do wish I went with 20% for the back windows but at my age (lol) I gotta consider vision degradation. No real regrets, function before fashion.
The clear ceramic film on the windshield is imperative and makes a world of difference. To even out the factory look on the Y go 30-35% on the front windows and the clear film on the back windows. Dark film over the colored glass makes it really hard to see out of at night. IMO
@@SpokenReviews You will be very pleased with the results. Get PPF as soon as you possibly can. I had the whole car done and It saved me! th-cam.com/video/ux3HVvylDbY/w-d-xo.html
Did your Austen built Model Y LR come with a mobile charger and if so did it include the 4 prong NEMA 14-50 plug as well? Did your Tesla also have the PPF on the rear fenders? Thanks for keeping the info coming!
🤗👍😎 LOOKS GREAT 👀 and more money 💵 than your previous video today …BUT MUCH MORE FUN 😁 … Going darker and getting your windshield done is gonna make it more comfortable in the long run as others have commented so it also looks better and enjoy your Tesla in Texas😁😍😍😍
One would have imagined that the woman inside the store would have been enamored by the fact you brought to her what may be the most American car on the market today. That said, how awesome was it that she allowed you to film the vetting process. Most companies shun that. Your car looks terrific man, you need to do the windshield and here's why, imagine you're on the road and a spear shaped object penetrates your windshield. The film will assist with resisting an incursion. :-) Side note, there's a company out there that makes Gemini wheel covers in black and boy oh boy do they look awesome. I can only imagine how they would look on your grey Model Y. A quick "click click" and you're sporting a whole new look! lol
Thank you! I'm definitely going to have to go back and do the windshield! I'm going to have to look online for those wheel covers. Your 100% right they would change the look completely
Reputable shop $600 ( with high quality material). Windshield would be extra. Lower end part of town you might find it for $250 but if there are any issues you would be on your own. Since tesla has extra electronics, you are better off going to a place that specializes on them.
@@SpokenReviews Do you know if it is easy for a tint shop to sell a certain film company, yet use a lower grade since the normal consumer may not notice or know?
There was a lot of mediocre information this dealer was pushing. They either don't really know or are just wanting to make a quick sale. Unless Tesla is unique, the front side windows and windshield have some tint. Most cars have between 70 to 80% factory tint. Slapping on a tint that is just above the legal limit will not keep you legal in many cases. Assuming an 80vlt oem window and a 30vlt tint will put you right at a 24% vlt total. Drop the oem vlt to 75 and this puts you at 21 vlt. Both below the limit. It's also not wise to use another car as a reference as the OEM ti t can be significantly different, altering your perception of the finished product. The best way to figure this out is to use a tint meter and calculate the final vlt. It also helps to also measure the film, as all films may vary from production run to production run. This dealer also has a very weak selection. My tint guy had 80, 70, 60 56, 40, 33, 21, 15 and 5 VLT to ore closely get what I wanted. My end result was within 2-4 vlt of my target. Oh, and a clear film for the windshield? I don't believe it. Most windshield tint is in the 70 to 90vlt. Lover Vlt can mess with auto on sensors if you can't adjust the sensitivity..be forwarded.
The front windshield was the most important.
I just mine done today and man it looks amazing... I love my new Model Y even more now.... Those guys did amazing!!!!

So far I'm really happy with the XPEL tint
Better than Llumar?

I'm sure the 20% looks great! The ceramic coating is a good idea.
crazy how tint makes a car look so much better
heat reduction was my priority

Yeah im surprised he went with two drastic numbers. He should have got 15% front and 30 rear or 50

I'm seeing more and more Tesla's here. I can only imagine how popular they will be once the Cyber Truck is released.
Why didnt you do 70% windshield? thats a must for the texas heat lol
sorry but Xpel Xr+ do not comes in 25% like you mentioned you going to do it in the front ? nice looking by the way
How is it at night? Can you still use the side mirrors at night?
My Y is arriving Monday. Did you need to make an appointment for the tint?
I made an appointment 2 days before going. They do walk-ins

What tint % is on the 4runner front windows and does it have a tint on the windshield too?
It was 30% on the front 2 doors and the windshield was done in 70% tint
$750 for window tint? I'm in the wrong line of work.
Does tinting the windshield cause the windshield tends to crack easily because it absorbs too much heat by the tint
Great #Tesla Content
I appreciate you!!!
Just to confirm what she said, 99% of human eyes can not tell difference between 20% and 15%
25 % legal. Love it. Can’t do shit 90% aftermarket tint here in this shitty British Columbia. Cash Grab
78% and 96% is more like it, not 88, 98
I hope tha Toyota wasn't just tinted. That back door looked horrible.
Lol.
I was thinking that too 😅😅😅
I think he needed to just clean the window though
You should charge more for consultant. Takes 20 mins
expel made in india . great marketed/;hyped product but not long term .
The front windshield was the most important.
