Thank you Gjeebs I went to Tyler from Dynamic Tint AZ and had my MY2023 PPF and had windows tinted with ceramic plus. He did an AMAZING job. Thank you for your hard work and your down to earth Utube content.
Nice! and you're welcome! Thanks for the support
OMG "sitting at work on the computer while you are supposed to be working" SO TRUE haha!
I wish i would have watched this before I got my tint. I did 15% around the back and back side windows and I literally cannot see out the back window at night but I love the privacy. I also purchased an after market sun shade for the roof glass because it still gets pretty warm (I'm in Texas).
Had my whole Model Y tinted in XR+ (including roof and windshield) and it really makes a big difference.
Seconded. It used to always hit it and after XR+ it rarely hits the cabin protection.
what percent?
After tinting the front, Did you guys have blurry vision (from lights) at night
@@Momo_8k Not on mine.
@@MrFraiche I'm in Florida, and it's summer, so cabin overheat will come on. It goes longer between periods with the protection.
I tinted my Tesla when I first got it and went ceramic with the best heat rejection. A year later I finally decided to do my windshield too. I went with as clear as possible with highest heat rejection. It has a slight blue look to it but has made such a big difference for keeping my cabin cool. In KY apparently it's legal to tint the front windshield. Tint laws are all state specific.
Yea tint laws do vary by state and you’re right with the ceramic tints there is a slight blue hue
Nah it's illegal in KY too, we can only have the strip at the top of the windshield. But nobody ever enforces it, especially if it's a light tint.
I appreciate videos like this, so thank you. Getting my MYLR delivered soon so this will come in handy. It’s gonna be the first car I purchase for myself & as a 22 year old, I intended on taking good care of it & getting what’s best for the long run!
Nice! Glad it was helpful
Congrats. When is your delivery window
Same boat 22yo but i plan on gettin mine next year
What are you 22 year olds doing to afford a $65k car?
@@chadwickwood9843 seriously! I need to do it too
Yes, ceramic tint does reduce the heat, while the surface area, say of the front dash, especially black, still heats up quickly on a hot day.
We did 70 on the windshield, 30 on the fronts and 50 in the back. We used Spectra Photo Sync. It darkens just a touch in bright light. Looks awesome!
I did 70% ceramic tint on the windshield, two back windows, and the rear window on my Model Y, and 35% on the two front windows. It doesn't match, but I'm fine with that, because I wanted the heat rejection more than the privacy. Plus it's much less likely to attract the attention of a cop. I also work 2nd shift, and drive through some dark rural roads at night, so too dark of a tint would've made it really hard to see.
So far it's been awesome. I've driven it through the western parts of the US, and never felt the heat coming in like it did before I got the ceramic tint.
Hi. I am interested in doing the same to my upcoming Model Y. Could you please possibly post a picture of your car tinted in this percentage somewhere? Trying to see how it looks. Thanks!
I did 70% on the windshield and 35% everywhere else on my 2018 Model 3. Fantastic change.
Thx for the info! Were the 35% front windows lighter or darker than the 70% rears?
@@orbitaljellyfish808stock rear "tint" is usually 20%, and when you stack you multiply the numbers. So 70 on top of 20 should be 14%
Just dropped my wife’s Subaru to get tinted with Tyler and I have a model Y on order ready to get tinted too! Appreciate the video, very helpful!
Thanks! Just contacted my PPF guys to also have front windows and windshield tinted…now I have an additional perspective and questions to get answered before beginning. Always great content
Glad it helped!
@@Gjeebs Got a 2023 Y. In retrospect would you tint side windows and hatch? If so what %--or keep original glass with original tint? I was told by tesla rep it already comes tinted ...
@@goutfromfriedokra3936 They come darker but they aren't "tinted". I would do 35% all around if I did it again. I also did 50% on the windshield.
@@Gjeebs And don't need to tint the roof ?
@@goutfromfriedokra3936 Yea I wouldn't bother with that at first. Wait until summer to see what you think. mine isn't tinted I just put a shade in which will be Thursdays video
Love the pink! Of course that pink as well.
I did 3M Crystalline tint, 70% windshield and 40% all around plus rooftop. I also live in the desert, and that combo works well.
What did it cost you?
@@veganmomma24b21 $1,750
@@baldbikeboy what?! What state? That sounds crazy expensive or I’m very out of touch with regards to tint pricing
@@Ashhong1 Palm Springs, CA … hot desert with minimal competition
@@baldbikeboy woulda saved a lot of money just doing a 2 hour road trip to another place?
I used 70% Prime XR+ on my rear Model Y windows & rear hatch, along with the windshield, and then 30% Prime XR+ on the front windows & sunroof. My 30% front windows now matches the 'darkness' of the rear windows, which is what I was going for since I don't like the look of super dark tint and you can't really make the rear Model Y windows lighter. The XR+ really makes a huge difference in So Cal sunny weather.
My tint shop recommended 20% in front and 70% in back to match. Do you feel like your front windows could be darker or are they a perfect match at 30% combined with the 70% rear and factory rear privacy glass?
@@bladerealm124 The roof and windshield lets a lot of light into the Model Y. Most people don't tint their roof and then use 20% tint on the front windows to match the rear factory tint. Also if you have white interior, the darker tint doesn't "look as dark" on the car. I have black interior so tinting my roof darker and also my windshield (mainly for heat rejection) made my entire interior darker. Going with the lighter (30%) front windows actually matches the rear windows perfectly, and 20% on my car would've been way too dark.
Is your XR+ neutral/black hue? I have heard that XR Black is the most neutral but I've seen some pictures where even XR Black looks blue.
@@bladerealm124 My Xpel Prime XR+ tint is a regular black hue. The only blue-ish hue tint I've had was Suntek CIR and 3M Crystalline tint
@@PHDTS Where did you go to do your tinting ? And, how much did it all cost ?
Just did all my windows on MY in South Florida and a significant difference. Well worth the investment
Thank-you for the video my wife recently did the ceremic tint in pur tesla model y and i kind of was against it (i thought its waste of money for right now) but now i see your video and it makes me happy thank you for sharing.
We need to go back to do the roof ill make sure we dont go higher then 50
I got ceramic tints on the windshield and windows of my model Y, its the best decision you can make in most states
Always instructive video. Interesting to see the difference on one single window and the efficiency. Thanks for this shot!
👍
Thank you for explaining this. Recently I was dissuaded from putting new tint on the roof but I live in a hot city and must protect from the UV and heat.
50% on my Y windshield. Changed everything!
Wish I could have seen this 5 days ago.....before we got our Y tinted. 🤣
I am so glad I tinted my side windows first thing. I’d really like to tint the windshield too, but heard about it being illegal. However, I am taking notice of other Teslas on the road with them tinted. When I return to my car on a warm day and touch the monitor it is very hot and I live in Orange County, CA. I know AZ is another level of heat as I’ve been there many times. AZ must be the best place to test those window tints for coolness. I love the color of the Pink Pig! I am glad you’re keeping it. Great! Btw, has your baby daughter arrived? The day should be soon!
Getting a 70% tint on my windshield in 2018 was the best change I ever made to my Tesla. The glass was chipped last year and we haven't gotten it retinted yet. Hate it every time I get in the car. The difference in just sitting in the driver seat feeling the sun is VERY noticeable.
I'm picking up a 2024 in a month or two, and found a place who carries Kavaca IR film. When I get my new car tinted, we're definitely also going to tint the glass we had replaced in the 2018 as well.
In Arizona it is not illegal to tint your windshield provided you have a prescription from your doctor.
On my black sapphire on black Dakota leather BMW 335, the car would get unbearably hot in the sun. Seat would burn you if you were wearing shorts. Used Panorama Hilites ceramic tint 35 on everything but the windshield and car would be just a bit toasty on a super hot sunny day after being parked in the sun for 7 hours. After tinting the windshield (I forget the number but it was obviously lighter than the side windows) the car was actually cool after being in the sun. Ceramic tint brand counts but picking the right installer is like 70% the battle. I paid top dollar for my installer who cut the film by hand and actually cut the side windows all the way to the bleeding edge (I have a coupe with frameless doors) which I’ve never seen any other installer able to replicate. Absolutely worth spending the money on ceramic tint and a top notch install.
It’s legal in many states to tint the windshield.
The factory tint has really good heat refraction.
Thats cute in Arizona.. Us in s***ty Florida can get whatever you want by just signing a waiver at the tint shop!
My old Camaro had 15 all around, front windshield was 25. But I was offered some special tint that had metal in it, which also blocked RF signals. This was before ceramic was a thing. You couldn't see inside my car unless I turned on a light. Never got pulled over for my tint!
very thoughtful and informative good job
Dude, I just subscribed after seeing this video - I wont be unsubscribing anytime soon 🙂
Thank you!
If you live in FL, its NOT illegal for a front windshield. But if its REALLY dark than maybe.
I have found with shops like his the results depends on whos working that day on your car. 😅 there's always that too cool for school guy that sat in the back of the class.
to even the shade darkness all around, i went 35% front and 50% rear and back
Did 35 front and back. Looks great much cooler In The 110 degree heat...
If you are selling window tint, you must have a high-tech-o-meter calibrated to show the numbers that you need shown.
Really wish I could get a Y. Honestly this pink look is pretty cool. Not what I'd get but it looks striking.
3m crystalline in the light colors is substantially better than any ceramic. It is also 50% more expensive than 3m ceramic. I did my sequoia in 70% crystalline on the windshield and ceramic on the sides in 35%. The windshield feels at least as cool as the much darker ceramic. At 70% on the windshield, i couldnt tell a differnce in visibility at night. No way youd get a ticket.
I have a moonroof/sunroof on my truck and the local tinting shop advised me not tint the top glass or it would crack or maybe he said the other windows may crack. I cannot recall his exact answer, but that sunroof makes me feel like the ant's God is getting their revenge on me - I only did it once when I was a young kid!
Really educational video. Thank you! Looking for a Xpel dealer in my area now….
I did a 60 on my windshield ceramic tint love it!
I LOVE the Pink but I bought a red model Y so maybe down the line I'll do pink wrap but for now I'll enjoy my red. I'm in Texas previously from Show Low so thanks for the video about tint. Getting mine done tomorrow 😁.
My Mazdaspeed 3 had the ceramic tint from and expel shop in northern nevada. By far the BEST TINT ever. Just got an STI and will be going 20% all the way around and 70% on the windshield. Would recommend just like good ol Geebs here.
Congrats on the STi big fan
@@Gjeebs It was un molested and unmodified 2014 with 50k and under 30k stole it.
I have the same issue with tinting my back windows… my rear view mirror is useless now, even during the day.
I don’t mind it and I’ve gotten used to it and don’t waste time checking it anymore. But makes me really wish there was a better Tesla supported digital rear view. The back window on the Y was already super small so doesn’t make sense to me why it wouldn’t be a digital rear view.
4:48 AYE DON'T EXPOSE ME
My OCD would not let me even walk up to that door 😂 XPEL
PAINT PROTE CTION FILM
The 2024 Model Y has Infrared rejection already in the room glass
35 all the way around looks pretty cool 😎
5:00 oh wow you got me
Model S/X have different factory coatings in their glass than 3/Y. I first learned of the extreme benefits of ceramic tint after taking a Model S for a test drive on a 110° sunny day in Texas. I couldn’t feel the sun on my left shoulder. It was noticeable enough that I took note even with other highlights like Ludacris mode were at my fingertips for the first time. … then I bought my Model 3 and found out that coating isn’t present on the Gen. 2 platform.
I’m looking to ceramic tint everything soon. Windshield, roof, side windows… all of it. 35% on the sides/rear glass and 50% on the windshield and roof.
I never hear anything about roof cracking on Tesla. Is that an early model thing?
I have learned that people should consider if they’ll be traveling when choosing to tint.
Some states will ticket cars with tint darker than the state allows.
Love the Bushwood CC Caddy Day Shirt!
Thank you for name dropping my state, Kansas.... Rock Chalk :)
Can you get Tesla without that color in the back? In my state you can't have have dark in the front? And I want it all the same tint
Hola Maestro! great video, been following you for quite a while and your sense of humor is awesome. Quick question, do you have any issues with the windshield being tinted and polarized sun glasses?
I know that ceramic tinting can cause some sort of rainbow effects which on the side windows I do not care, but if that is the case on the windshield then I might be problematic.
anything you can share about this?
thanks man!
Daniel
is it me or states like Arizona should have no legal limit for tint
Lmaoooooo on the toilet watching because I am about to buy a new car 😂😂☠️☠️
In 2021 the installer told me my windshield tint was clear and ceramic heat rejecting. I went w clear (in Texas) because i drive a lot at night. Watching this video I'm not sure if there is a slight tint on my windshield, or not.
I heard that there is clear ceramic film for the windshield. Am I wrong?
Yes there is
The tint shade and % demo on the driver's side window was helpful. They provided a quote but refused my request for pink window tint. :)
Hahaha
I thought this video was going to be all about why the roof glass cracks, but it was mainly about tinting in general
Gjeebs is a fucking devils magician, how’d you know i was on the toilet? No airpods though 🧐😂
Can you recommend anyone in Tucson? This guy looked good but I don’t want to drive up there.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, experience, opinion and your humor. I want to know what is the name of your wrap pink. It is beautiful.
how much does it cost on average to tint one window with expel ceramic???
Only if dynamic tint was in Jersey! Nice one
Just tinted my tesla originally had 20% all around minus 50% on front windshield and it was way too dangerous couldnt see shit at night so switched two front side glass to 50% as well kept the back 20% helps a ton and I can actually see out the glass now lol.
would 30% be worth front two side glass
Literally on the toilet while watching this.
You aren’t alone
What’s a reasonable price for side windows and rear window for XR?
Did you know the rear windows of the model Y have really good heat rejection properties? I only tinted my 2 front windows and windshield saved lots of money
You’re wrong Gjeebs about the rear not having no heat rejection on the glass
@@JV-py3lg he’s not wrong it’s just colored glass with no heat rejection. The darker the color natural it’ll block more than the front which isn’t colored. If you sit in the back yes you’ll get more comfort than the front that’s not tinted. Ceramic actually filters IR to reduce heat. IR can naturally be tinted by color dyes but not to the extent ceramic does.
@@yellowflash649 you might want to fact check yourself with the colored glass statement. They may not be on the same level as ceramic tint, but they actually do a decent job at heat rejection. Also I didn’t say ceramic didn’t do anything as far as heat rejection. My 2 front windows are ceramic tinted along with the windshield.
"..You might be on the toilet while watching this."
Or if your like me, your charging your Tesla while watching TH-cam lol..
Is it safe to tint the rear window with defrost lines?
yep
was the lav mic used for this video? it's really good at noise rejection.
Good video. Thanks
OK, recently you wrapped the roof in white and cut out the sun. Heat wise was that much better than the Expel HR film on the top? I would expect some, but was it a significant improvement on the heat for the AC? In S FL so we get the sun and heat all day! Haven't got my Model Y coming Jan. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
Yea wrapping the roof gives the best protection that’s for sure you just give up the glass roof
One shop told me they don’t tint the Y roofs anymore as the that tends to hold heat in. Fact or fiction? Love the channel btw gjeebs!
It’s a fact. Anyone tinting a roof is doing it for the money
This was great, thanks!
You’re welcome
Great video! Have you given any thought or tested any after market powered sun shades for the roof?
yes the one from vion.parts is the best in my opinion. code Gjeebs will save you 10% and free shipping
I have Nano Ceramic all around My MYLR I just have yet to tint the windshield
Fact:
I own 2 Tesla (X & S), I’m telling y’all to do NOT put tint on the SUNROOF, as it is already have very effective UV PROTECTION (and if those super hot temperature will be trap in it, then there’s a big possibility it will crack), as one of the known brand (XPEL) here in Austin already found out that only 3-4 BTU go pass that glass, period,
The only glass y’all need to have a top of the line ceramic tint is the windshield (70.% - 80%), then 30% - 50% on all the windows glass, based on your state and what you’re comfortable with, especially on driving at night.
Darker tint doesn’t mean it has better UV protection, as for years tint quality evolved that it doesn’t matter if it is light or very dark, as they have the same UV protection from sun.
Please people, wake up!
Most new Tesla owners has been duped by those tint shops who know nothing about it (or just taking advantage of those new Tesla owner).
Have a great day to y’all!
Hi, super video thx for all information. One question for back seat.
I would like to put darker to be able to filtering sunlight so when the kids sitting they don't get any sun light hitting to their face.
Which one I should go?
I was thinking 20 but if 35 will do job will choose that. thx
Excellent video ❤
just went looking for a local installer!
Perfect timing!
@@Gjeebs no because of your vid 🤣
Do you still recommend 35% ceramic tint all around for new Tesla owners? I’m also in Arizona and about to get my MYP tinted. I’ve gone down too many rabbit holes to determine the most effective tint percentage for this record heat 🥵
Pink is good
An orange ppf would look real purdy🥸
License plate glare?
HI Gjeebs,
I have a question, how does the influence on the front cameras on the windshield with 35 or up ?
thanks.
In my 22 Model Y performance.
5% all the way around.
70% windshield
I decided to leave the roof alone. Tesla has a pretty good video on their TH-cam channel on the science behind the roof. I’m in Texas and I’m 6’2 . Doesn’t bother me
Great tip. Also in TX and this summer was tough. May use your set up.
Ho much
do you think they can do a model 3 white roof wrap? Also this is indeed the BEST tint business in Arizona! I will not let anyone else touch my Tesla's.
I would call Tyler and ask. I think $250
@@Gjeebs if that’s the case I’ll head over tomorrow lol most places want $400+ for a product that costs $60 and takes like half an hour to do
Any issues with the tint drying afterwards with the windows slightly open and shut with the door access?
No
Wow. Who knew?
@Gjeebs do you use the Model Y’s side view and rear view mirror dimming feature? I found that I leave it off because it can be way too dark with the rear view tint + the mirror dimming. Tesla’s auto-dim feature is also pretty aggressive in my experience.
I turned off the auto dimming on my Model 3 for the same reason after getting all of my windows tinted.
Good call. I’m gonna adjust that
Yup this is very accurate guidance. Once you have tints turn off auto dimming and you should be good
How much did that all cost?
What’s the average cost to tint a mY with that high level ceramic tint?
About 300
550-750 range depending on what you get done
If only teslas had solar tinted windshield like REAL luxury automakers.
expel love to hype infared rejection. Best to look at the tser rating (total solar energy rejection) . infared is only 38% of the solar heat spectrum
How much is it?
Looking to tint my Roof, since the darkness of the tint doesn’t matter, anyone with experience that says it’s worth it??
You can tint your roof with no issues. Just make sure you go with an installer that is familiar and has done a plethora of Tesla roof’s before.
Literally the perfect video for me, I am getting my Model 3LR tinted next week and I am trying to figure out percents. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! I figured people will use this info for years to come. Also nice to have some knowledge before you go to a shop
What's the best/easiest way for me to find XPEL tint shops? I live in the Bay Area. Thanks!
If you go on their website they have a store locater. That’s probably easiest
Anyone recommend a tint shop around LA county?
