Trying to figure out what tint percentage to go with? Do you have a Tesla Model S, X, 3, or Y? You can tint your Model X windshield in one piece. You can also tint your model Y roof in one piece!
What about the different types of tint like metallic, ceramic, and dyed?
Well I was able to talk to a professional and share with you everything you need to know about different types of tint!
For my car we went with the best of the best Xpel prime XR Plus! We tinted the falcon wing glass at the top, all the windows, and even the windshield!

MY Model X- Xpel Prime XR PLUS
Windshield- 70%
Front Windows- 15%
Rear Windows 5%
Rear Falcon Ceiling- 70%
Rear Hatch- 35% but better night time visibility go with 55%

Hope you guys enjoy! For the X I went with Xpel Prime XR PLUS
70% Windshield
15% Front
5% Rears
70% Falcon Wing Window
35% Rear Hatch!
No issues! Love it!
Just wanted to also update the price! Just know it's changing but for me, for the X the average cost was around $700. To tint the windshield however was the MOST expensive as it took a lot of time. It’s also not included in the price. Can be over 1k for sure if you tint everything and the model x windshield!

you're the best. i was just going to get my car tinted this month and i'm so glad i watched this before!!!

[cronusecho]

Please test the heat rejection of the stock rear windows of your Tesla Model Y before installing additional tints (if you are tinting only to keep your car cool). Unlike other cars, Tesla Y rear windows are not just dyed, they actually provide decent heat rejection.

[Robert_Prather]

another great video chris.. you're killing it! such useful information! I'm eventually going to get mine tinted and this helps alot with knowing the percentages. thank you!

[DemonXplaid]

There’s a video showing factory rear windows in the new model X does reject heat. When I did an unscientific test on my 2023 model X using my arm, there’s a big difference in heat between the front and rear windows. Someone should show a test using an IR meter. I think tint shops are afraid to admit these newer cars do not only have privacy glass but it also rejects heat

[ciscolin]

Your videos are informational and entertaining, i m still waiting for model Y delivery at the end of january🤞

[SINasTER]

I heard that you’re not supposed to tint the glass roof before of the infrared rejection coating from the factory. They tend to crack the glass roof if you have a recent tesla with that coating in the roof

[maysantos]

Hey Chris how much is the pricing for your model Y if you don’t mind!

Thanks for all your videos gives me idea which accessories I needed the most. I started following your YouTube when I purchased my Tesla 😆

[MH-ruhe]

The model y 2024 back windows have the same heat rejecting stats as the after market epel ceramic 99% tint. I had them compare the readings and they were the same. Just do the front windows and windshield

[LaiMachine]

Very detailed! And very helpful thanks!

[ImtooFuturistic]

People who are criminals love to break tint because it won’t make as much sound. I still tint tbh. I just would keep my car open in certain areas & valet mode it & pin to start

[Annielol]

Hi Chris,
Great video. I know this is an older video, but do you still recommend this shop? I live in cypress ca. just got my model Y and really want it tinted. Thank you so much for all your helpful videos.

[jimmyhfishes]

Nice video... will be tinting our MYP in a few weeks. Just need to figure what % I want now

[JoMaMa]

To help people out 20% is lowest id go for rear seats and back glass I had 20 all around and it was so hard to see at night I took it off. ended with 50% in front glass and seats and then 20% in rear seats and glass for perfect setup!

[goldviper]

That was great info. I had no idea what the Percentages meant. Love the new car color.

[MrFrmartin]

my state has a limit of 35%, so Im looking at 50% for windshield, and 35 for the rest. Have not recv car yet, still waiting, but im stoked

So with a tesla ring you basically can marry your car. Elon is crazy

[merrionpew]

Do they have shops on O'ahu? Awesome work!

[Kwon]

Cool. So what % did you do for your car?
