The tint darkness percentage has nothing to do with the heat reduction

You may be right, not sure if it does have some effect. Since the front windshield is basically clear, that point was sort of proven already.

While technically accurate, as some very dark tints do almost nothing for IR/UV. When looking at films that have high heat reduction, the same film with higher visible light reduction almost always also improves the heat reduction as well. Take Kavaca IR for example, which is an exceptional film in this regard. The 80 shade has 74% visible light transmission, 95% IR rejection, 99.9% uv rejection, and 53% total solar energy rejection. Compare to their 35 shade, which has 36% visible light transmission (much darker), 98% IR rejection, 99.9% UV rejection, and 67% total energy rejection. But you can absolutely find super dark 5% films of other brands that have far less energy/heat rejection than either of these. And then there are films like 3M Crystalline that are entirely designed to leave your windows clear while having high heat rejection.

Dead wrong. Tint material makes the biggest difference, yes, but percentage also has an impact

Great information, Thanks for sharing

Great place for a video🤣 maybe next time pull off the road first. lol just kidding great info. That's really awesome that the Tesla can stay cool on those hot days. COOL feature!🥶😂

Windshield tinting is illegal practically in every State (some allow the top part tinted).

Yes, thats an interesting point. I of course get the darkness issue, but why the 70% or higher percentages, I don't understand. My guess is the technology probably didn't exist when half these states made the rules. I actually really like it now that I have it. Easier to see in both bright sunshine and bright headlights.

great video

I always highly recommend tinting for heat rejection. Even if someone has no desire to darken their windows. There are films like 3M Crystalline that are designed to reject heat without limiting light transmission. And films like Kavaca IR that are so effective at energy rejection that the % of the tint is almost a cosmetic decision. Total energy rejection on Kavaca IR 5% VLT tint is 69%, while the 74% VLT tint still rejects 53% solar energy, as well as 95% IR and 99% UV. (Total solar energy and IR rejection are the two that affect heat. UV is related to interior materials fading) Our windshield was struck a few months back and had to be replaced. We've never gotten it tinted again yet, and I hate it everytime i drive the car now. It had been tinted since the day I got it in 2018, and now it's so hot in comparison as soon as you sit down in the drivers seat.

You don’t cool down interior when you tint the glass. You just transfer heated surface from interior surfaces to the glass, which later heats the interior anyway :) Btw. Good luck when driving at night

The tint film has ceramics in it. It reflects the heat away. It's very obvious to feel.

What about drivers who are somewhat visually impaired (🤓) won't the tinted windows possibly interfere with night driving?

The tinting seems so minimal that I don’t think it would be a problem. That said I’m not very familiar with visually impaired issues

Can you see at night with a tinted windshield?

Yes. Completely. 70% tiny seems to me to be all benefit no negative side effect.

Nice but New Jersey doesn't allow tint all the way around.☹️

Legally speaking, no state in the U.S. does. But there are good heat rejection films that have almost no impact on visibility. An 80% tint is nearly impossible to see. Many automotive windows come tinted darker than that from the factory.

Most states allow diff tints generally only the top 6” or so. Our 70%. Is hard to even notice. Yet you get the heat and light reductions.

Tinting will make this vehicle illegal in more than a dozen states.

Every state has their percentages and limitations. Not sure specifically which set up you’re referring to. regarding the front windshield, I can’t imagine any police department will even notice. For the most part, you can see in with ease. the only thing being blocked is heat and ultra violet light.

@@iflick7235 yes I suppose if they want to bust your balls and throw a meter on there. I truly don’t think they would notice the front windshield. Actually, I think the device that measures it is placed on the glass when the window is down. Not sure how they could measure it if they wanted. I think the bigger issue and a reasonable one is tinting out the side windows, where an officer can’t see in.

All of these hateful comments are made by people who will never have the money to buy one. Or any other new truck for that matter. If you dont like it that's fine then dont buy it.

I don’t think it’s really about the money, maybe sometimes. Ironically, the truck isn’t more expensive than half of top end ones Hell a raptor is more expensive. As stated here, I think it’s politics like everything else on the planet these days.
