Can you tint a Tesla?
Short answer
Yes. Every Tesla model, including Model X and Cybertruck, uses the Standard tint package: the side windows plus the back glass. APC does not tint Tesla glass roofs. Film can cause uneven heating and cracks, adds little to the factory roof's UV and heat protection, can void the glass warranty and is hard to apply without flaws on large, curved glass. Ceramic IR window tint doesn't interfere with phone or Bluetooth signals, and a cabin that heats up less means the car uses less energy cooling it.

Can you tint the glass roof?

Does tint help an electric car?
An electric vehicle uses less energy cooling a cabin that heats up less, and Ceramic IR rejects up to 98% of infrared energy on the shades APC stocks.
