We have done many Tesla window tints, making us acutely familiar with specific nuances to these cars. We are able to film the entire Model 3 rear window in one seamless piece. All Tesla doors that have frameless glass the film will come exactly to the edge creating a factory look. There is no problem with the fact that the door glass drops about a 1/2″ when the door opens. Filming the entire windshield for heat protection is also not a problem.
We offer only the two best possible films available, Xpel Prime XR Ceramic and XR+ Ceramic. They are both high-end films known for their excellent heat rejection abilities and clarity.
Prime XR Ceramic | VLT* | TSER* | IR* | UV* | Glare Reduction |

*VLT = The amount of light allowed into the car. *The lower the number the darker the film will be
*TSER = Amount of heat rejection
*IR = Infra-Red heat rejected
*UV = Ultraviolet radiation
There are a lot of films listed above, let me try and narrow it down some. Most people want to go with the darkest legal film allowed in North Carolina, which is the 35%. For windshields most go with a very light shade, either 80% or 70%.
The main objective for tinting the windshield is to block as much heat as possible and reduce the glare a bit, without impeding you visibility. As far as XR vs XR+ the main difference is that XR+ blocks even more IR heat.
Happily choosing the film level &darkness doesn’t need to be determined until the job gets started. It is much easier to make this decision when you can see the film samples in person.
I am always happy to show you samples and discuss all the options when you come in.
Good question, one price doesn’t fit all. There are a few factors such as film type, which model and which windows (some people want the panoramic roof tinted, others the windshield…etc…). I can give you some general ranges but for an exact price I would need to know which model you have, what level of film you would like, and which windows. As a guideline tinting two front doors only (like on a Model Y to match the back) range $150. – $180.00. A full car (consists of all side windows and the rear window) ranges $375.00 – $675.00.
