Safety is the main reason. If there is black ice for instance on the road, a tinted windshield won't allow you to detect it.
Same holds true if there is a spillage of some kind.
You may not agree with it but you are not welcome to your own facts. Tinting diminishes visibility, period. The following I write not strictly to argue with you but to provide fodder for others.
A {____X%___} tint may provide you and your eyes acceptable visibility, for a given definition of acceptable, Y% of the time. Or it may not.
Let me be a tad less harsh. If you take two windshields with different light transmission, and a pitch-black, rainy night. One of those will give you the extra edge over being able to discern what is out there, and you know which that one is.
Now, you can argue - and I am not one to say what your driving habits are - that you only drive in, for example, daylight hours between 1000 and 1500 local. Were that the case, then you are relatively more able to justify a tint between you and the environment than one who's consistently driving only between 2300 and 0400.
But using edge cases is of more importance for safety considerations than are those two extremes. AND....except for those very, very rare people for whom sunglasses are not a discomfort but a real medical problem, untinted + sunglasses is always always always the better option.
Don't take my word for it. Look into airline and fighter pilots and their situation. Clear(ish) glass and sunglasses (or heavily tinted helmets/goggles) 100% of the time.
Tinting the front windshield is illegal!
I have my side and rear windows done but I never, ever tint the front windshield.
Safety is the main reason. If there is black ice for instance on the road, a tinted windshield won't allow you to detect it.

I was told years ago when first riding my motorcycle you never, ever, tint the visor of your helmet for the same reasons.
Common sense!
Do you use the mesh sunscreen and still find yourself affected? Or is the sun angle so low it's below the screen?
Tint is, effectively, permanent. Stating the obvious, the screen you can detach. To each his own but I hate the diminished visibility of tinted glass.
I tint the windshield of every car I own.
1.) reduce glare
2.) reduce heat
3.) increase privacy
4.) increased range from requiring less AC to cool down the interior.
5.) makes car more attractive
6.) Possible improvement to ghosting issues on Model X windshields. It doesn't aggravate it for certain.
I trade off 25% diminished visibility which I find completely negotiable for all of the outstanding benefits above.
What did you tint your Model X windshield?
Well my current car has a forward looking camera and uses the mobile eye software that AP1 cars used. No issues. And the entire windshield except the area in front of the camera is tinted. No issues. The camera is flush with the windshield so it should not be an issue.I have nothing to back this up but my DS told me you CANNOT tint the front windshield of a Model X with AP2 as it will interfere with the operation of cameras and whatever else they have that uses the windshield. Sorry I don't own an X (yet) or have more details. Just passing on what I was told.
100% true, unless it is non tinted. Any tint will hamper your ability to see. Period!
absolutely 100% false.
