. Only took a year. After having the car for 7 months (yesterday) I've grown to like the big space where the console would go. Not for me now.
I'm obviously the guy that makes them, but I hope most on the forum will agree I'm relatively impartial
The matte variant is still my daily driver; obviously, I've tried them all, multiple times. Now, for reference it's worth mentioning that I have 20/20 vision with specs, but without (not needed for driving), things get a bit fuzzy close up. I can read the time display in the dash, but that's about as good as it gets. With that in mind, my honest appraisal of each:
Matte: Awesome at preventing glare and hiding finger prints almost completely. This is the lowest maintenance screen protector in terms of having to keep it clean. The slight downside is that it slightly reduces the crispness of the screen. It's exactly akin to a shiny laptop/PC screen vs. one with a matt finish. Personally, it doesn't bother me at all (with or without my specs!), the only time I realize it's making things less crisp is when I remove it (to test something else). I also prefer the feel of the texture; when prodding and sliding on the screen, there's less 'finger drag', as the screen is less 'sticky'. It doesn't reduce brightness, at least, I've not noticed that, and I'm only running at around 60% brightness.
HD Clear: Exactly as it says really. It does have some anti-blue characteristics (helps reduce specular glare at night - this is a specific automotive scenario) and UV filters, but essentially it's an invisible layer of protection.
HD Anti-fingerprint: This is the same as the HD clear, with an additional oleophobic layer. Contrary to the marketing spin, this coating doesn't really 'prevent' finger prints; what it does it minimize them, and more importantly, makes them far easier to remove, perhaps with one of our screen cleaning pads
Essentially it's a non-stick coating, similar to what Rain-Ex does for windscreens, except it's permanent. The reason most smartphones have this same coating is so they clean up really easily with a quick wipe on your jeans.5H Anti-scratch/shock: This has the same qualities as the HD clear, but with a 5H hardness rating. Application is a little easier since it's less 'floppy', but it's main benefit is that it's really tough; if you're in the habit of launching a Starbucks cup at the screen with insane or ludicrous acceleration, then this is a good choice.
Hope this helps. The matte option is the top seller by volume, but by SKU it's the matte/HD Clear combo pack.

Confirmed
Dual chargers have to be installed in the workshop, so if you are distant, you might want to postpone delivery

Everyone should be aware that some accessories for left hand drive USA Models S will not always fit a right hand drive Australian Model S.
