Ceramic tint and Teslas

Teslas have a lot of glass, and on most models the roof is glass too. That makes the cabin heat up fast on a sunny day and puts extra load on the battery to run the A/C. Ceramic window film rejects much more infrared heat than standard film without needing to go darker, so the car stays cooler, the A/C works less, and you keep the clean look. For most Tesla owners, ceramic is the right choice.

Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck

We tint every Tesla model. Each one has its own quirks: frameless door glass on the Model 3, Model Y and Model S, huge rear glass on the Model Y, and big curved windows that need the film shrunk carefully to fit. Frameless glass means the top edge of the window is exposed, so the film has to be cut and finished perfectly along that edge. That's the detail we focus on.

Glass roof tint

The glass roof is the biggest source of heat on most Teslas. Ask us about adding ceramic film to the roof when you get your quote. It keeps the cabin cooler on summer afternoons without changing how the roof looks from outside.

Shades for Tesla

Most Model 3 and Model S owners go with 35%, which is the darkest legal shade for sedans in Illinois and looks sharp against any paint color. SUV models like the Model Y and Model X may fall under different rear-window rules than sedans. See our Illinois tint law guide for details, and we'll confirm what's legal for your exact car before we start.

Protect the rest of your Tesla

Expressway driving chips the front of any car fast. Pair your tint with paint protection film on the front end and a ceramic coating to keep the paint looking new.

Tesla tint questions

How much does it cost to tint a Tesla in Chicago?

Tesla tint is priced by model, since the glass sizes differ a lot between a Model 3 and a Model X. Text 773.698.0446 or use the quote form with your model and year for an exact price.

What's the best tint for a Tesla?

Ceramic film. Teslas have a lot of glass, and ceramic rejects much more heat than standard film without going darker, so the cabin stays cooler and the A/C works less.

Can you tint a Tesla glass roof?

Yes, ask about adding ceramic film to the roof with your quote. It's the biggest heat source on most Teslas.

What tint percentage is legal on a Tesla in Illinois?

It depends on the model. Sedans like the Model 3 and Model S can go to 35% on the side and back windows. See our Illinois tint law guide, and we'll confirm what's legal for your exact car.

How long does it take to tint a Tesla?

Most Tesla tint jobs are done the same day. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.

FAQ

Window Tinting questions

How much does window tint cost in Chicago?

Carbon tint starts at $349 and ceramic tint starts at $399 for the side and rear windows on a four-door car. SUVs, trucks, Teslas, windshields and removal of old tint are quoted separately. Text 773.698.0446 or use the quote form with your year, make and model for an exact price.

Is ceramic tint worth it?

If heat is your main concern, yes. Ceramic film rejects more infrared heat than carbon film at the same shade, so your car stays cooler without going darker. If you mostly want the look and UV protection, carbon film is a great value.

How dark can I legally tint my windows in Illinois?

Illinois limits how dark certain windows can be, and the rules differ for sedans and SUVs. We'll walk you through what's legal for your vehicle before we install anything.

Can you tint just my front two windows?

Yes. Matching the front doors to factory-tinted rear glass is one of our most common jobs and is usually done while you wait.

How long should I wait to roll my windows down after tint?

Give the film a few days to cure before rolling the windows down. We'll tell you exactly how long for your car and the weather that day.
