Why Your Tesla Model 3/Y Needs Quality Tint in Idaho

Tesla Model 3 and Y both feature large glass areas, including:

• 🔆 Full glass roof
• 🔳 Large front and rear side windows
• 🚗 Wide rear glass (Model Y especially)

Without high-quality ceramic tint, your Tesla becomes a mobile greenhouse in Meridian’s summer heat. Tinting reduces:

• Interior heat buildup
• UV damage to seats and dashboard
• Glare while driving
• Energy drain from overworked A/C

Model 3 vs. Model Y: Tinting Considerations

Model 3

• Full glass roof creates lots of heat – we recommend tinting it
• Rear window is large – consider 20% or 35% for privacy
• Front window frame requires precision fit

Model Y

• More rear cargo glass = more heat
• Rear passengers benefit from 20% or even 5%
• Matching VLT across side windows creates a balanced aesthetic

We cut every film using Tesla-specific software templates for perfect fitment.

FAQs

Q1: Will tinting affect my Tesla’s cameras or Autopilot?

Q2: How long does installation take?
A: Most Model 3/Y tints are completed in 2–3 hours.

Q3: Do you tint the glass roof?
A: Yes! Tinting the roof drastically reduces cabin heat.

Q4: Does factory privacy glass mean I don’t need tint?
