Prevent Battery Drain with Window Tint on Your Tesla

All Tesla models have a CABIN OVERHEAT PROTECTION feature that automatically turns the A/C on if the interior gets over 110 degrees while parked. Once your battery reaches 20%, this feature shuts down, but you’ve already lost most of your battery.
The Tesla Model 3 has a large glass surface area, making it prone to battery drain in hot weather. Tinting your Model 3’s windows keeps the cabin cool and prevents the Cabin Overheat Protection feature from activating.
This results in saving your battery and improving your Tesla’s mileage per charge, especially during the hot summer months.

Tinting your Tesla’s windows increases mileage per charge, protects against harmful UV rays, maintains a cool cabin for both style and temperature, prevents battery drain, reduces sun glare, and minimizes the need for A/C usage.

FAQ’s

Can you tint windows on a Model 3 with one piece of film?

Yes, we can. We use a single 60-inch piece of window film to ensure a quality install and maximum lifespan for the window tint. This also helps cover some of the larger and wider windows that some Tesla models have.

Is Tesla window tinting different from other vehicles?

Not really. Even though Teslas require a lot “of extras” when it comes to their batteries and engine, the windows are pretty standard.

What is the average length that window tint lasts on Tesla cars?

There are many factors that go into how long window tint lasts on a any given car, but standard-industry films typically last around 5 years. However, the XPEL product we use often lasts at least 10 years if properly maintained!

Should I wait a certain number of hours before rolling the windows down when my Model 3 gets tinted?

Yes. Rolling your windows down prematurely can harm the window tint just like washing your windows too soon can, too. While 4 days is usually long enough to wait, you might want to wait a week to be on the safe side.

Is it normal to have bubbles in my window after they are tinted?

Bubbles in the window tints are normal for a few hours after installation. If the bubbles remain after a week or two, the window tint was not installed properly.

Is there a difference in window film between the Model 3 and other models?

Not really. Different sized cars and windshields mean more product and labor will be required, but the overall tinting application process is the same.

What kinds of window film do you offer for tinting the windows of a Tesla?

We offer the XPEL Prime XR (88% blockage of infrared heat) and the XPEL Prime XR Plus (98% blockage of infrared heat). Both window films protect you from harmful UV rays with a rating of SPF 1,000.

What is the darkest legal tint on a Tesla?

That’s a great question, and the simple answer is that it’s difficult to answer! Why? Because every state has different levels of legal tint. We recommend visiting a site like tintinglaws.com to discover the window tinting laws in your state and make sure you stay legal.

What is the best way to clean tinted Tesla windows?

There are two main considerations when cleaning tinted windows:

  1. Use an ammonia-free cleaner. A few good options are Invisible Glass and Meguiar’s Glass Cleaner.
  2. Use soft microfiber cloths when cleaning the windows. Even household items like paper towels with a rougher surface can damage tinted windows.
