It was a great meet! I think about 12+ Teslas’.
Most of them are 3s and S model and Ricks’s Model X!
I have not taken any pics but it’s posted on Facebook by Dan.
Race the Runway 2018Race the Runway - Canada's Fastest, Most Extreme Car Event!
Spectator ride-alongs are back for Race the Runway's 7th Year!
Over 100 exotics, super-exotics, muscle cars and customs running radar clocked top speed runs down the runway while over 100 more cars are on static display. Spectator runway ride-alongs in a variety of exotics and hypercars.
A dream event for car enthusiasts with all proceeds going to charity.
I had my 3 tinted at Derand Auto due to price, location and the fact the have worked on quite a few Model 3s. They did a good job, happy with their work. They do a one-piece for the large rear window and I would get the whole rear window tinted (not the sunroof above the driver). I've seen some Model 3s with the half tint and it just looks off from the intside. I spent a little more and went with ceramic tints instead of the regular just to get the added heat protection. Ive never seen tint be applied on the exterior. Installers usually apply the tint on the exterior in order to make measuring and cutting easier then peel it off to install on the interior. There are a number of auto tinting places in Ottawa, look around and get some quotes.Looking for windshield and windows tinting to reduce heat and have a nice look. Any recommendations in Ottawa? I read a lot about going with a one piece rear windshield film and have seems videos of installation on the inside AND outside, what do you think? Definitely looking for a place that is familiar and have a lot of experience with a model 3.
Looks like ill need to have one of my DRLs changed...wont light up. Ive read that this is a common problem with the 3. Anyone have any issues with this? Could it be something the Ottawa Ranger could fix?

I have heard from my detailer that the top rear glass may crack if tinted, is it true? He said he would require me to sign a waiver saying he is not liable if it does crack. He would offer to install the tint on the nontinted part of the rear glass however
If a tint film is applied inside the window, the thermal buildup can cause glass to crack. Tint film blocks light, but also collects heat because of it coloration.That doesn't make sense. The top portion already has UV/IR filtering on it so what could the tint possibly do to cause it to crack? If the glass was that fragile you would think heavy rain or light hail would also crack it... Sounds like he just doesn't want to tint it in 1 piece.

That tinting isn’t applied to the inside, as far as I’m aware.Right, but that was exactly my point....the model 3 roof above the passengers and drivers already has a UV/IR block applied to it, so I highly doubt significant amounts of IR light would be reaching the tint, and certainly not enough to put enough thermal strain on the glass to cause it to crack. If that were the case, then how could a half window tint (on the back portion only) possibly survive since it has no IR blocking on that portion of the roof, it would be heating up even more.
Plus the thermal energy required to crack glass like that would also be a significant burn hazard (even if it was possible, which it isnt in my opinion)....at the end of the day, if the installer doesn't want to do the job they will make up any excuse, which is what is happening here. But the physics of it aren't possible as it was described above....at least I'm 99% sure of this.
