Tesla Model 3 Window Tinting: Install for the Ultimate Protection
If you own a Tesla Model 3, tinting is definitely a service you cannot ignore. Tinting your Tesla Model 3’s windows and the sunroof will drastically reduce the solar heat and radiation impact—it will make the cabin comfortably cool and prevent the car’s interior from fading.
As a driver, you benefit from zero glare and can be sure that you and your passengers aren’t affected by harmful UV rays and infrared heat. Plus, the darkened windows add a needed layer of privacy to your electric car.
Stay cool driving your Tesla
Quality tinting films provide up to 98% UV protection and up to 40% radiation protection for Tesla vehicles. And don’t forget about glare—one of the most annoying factors when we are behind the wheel, especially in the hot summer months.
Applying a high-quality tint is the best solution for blocking all unwanted effects of the sun’s rays: you drive in a comfortable, cool environment, and nothing stands between you and an enjoyable ride. Now, you will use the air-conditioning much less, significantly saving your battery life.

Tesla Model 3 tint darkness
Every state has legal regulations on vinyl films’ visible light transmittance (VLT). Basically, it is the amount of visible light that the tint blocks—the higher the percentage, the lighter the vinyl film is. The Illinois tint law’s essentials are easy to remember.
All windows of sedans—which means Tesla Model 3—can be tinted with films of 35% VLT. This is optimal darkness that provides good levels of UV protection and privacy.
But let’s get into the details: by very window, we mean side windows and the rear windshield. The sunroof of your beautiful Tesla can be tinted with films of any darkness. The windshield, however, cannot be tinted at all. The local tint laws in pretty much any state only allow a window tint stripe applied to the upper part of the windshield. In Illinois, it can be 6 inches wide and non-reflective.
