Window Tinting advice needed

[Lance From Jax]

I am super excited to be getting my 2023 Model 3 tinted on Friday.
I have never gotten a car tinted so I am looking for any advice out there.
Stuff to watch out for, what is acceptable etc..
I am going to a place in Detroit that comes highly recommended with a lot of Tesla experience.
I think I want to go 20% all around except for the windshield. Ill leave that and the roof not tinted.

Thanks!

Make sure they do the rear glass in one piece. Some shops don't have the large tint sheets to accommodate this.

I did 35% all around and 70% on the windshield because the SoCal summer sun can get roasting and it rejects most of the UV. I was hesitant to do the windshield at all, but 70% is still usable at night. I would not go any darker. I didn't get the roof glass tinted as it's pretty dark already, but I think I'm going to add some soon as you can really feel the heat radiating off that when the sun is overhead. Post pics when you're done.

before they start work make sure you verify they are using one piece in the back… if they say it’s not possible you need to find somewhere else…

I got 20% all around, and as others stated the 1 piece for the rear glass. 50% on windshield. Did same % on wife's Y also

I am also thinking of doing tint on my Model 3. Any suggestions on what kind of tint shall I get and the price-range that should be reasonable? I want to do side windows, and rear windshield at 50% or 75%.

Since I live in NJ, the front windshield should be transparent I saw there are ceramics that costs more that could be transparent and can help with reducing infrared and UV. I'm totally new to this. Any advice or recommendation would be highly appreciated.
