5% on front is nuts. Looks pretty cool though but cops🤦🏻‍♂️. I picked 20% front still im not sure if its too dark or light with white interiors. I need to wait a day to find that out

[@Mechaneer]

I don't like how the roof basically becomes a mirror with your tint. I would go lighter so you can still see the stars at night at least a little bit. I'm gonna get a Y and I'm thinking 50% everywhere, except maybe 35% in the front side windows for a little extra privacy.

[@James_Baggott]

Real helpful vid, thanks!

[@jayl8235]

Great video Chris! How is the Rayno S9 holding up? I was offered S9 at a pretty good deal for my MY. I can't find much info online but there were some reviews saying that it doesn't hold up too well after 2-3 years and some of the tint shops I found that carry Rayno have switched off to another brand. Thanks.

[@EverydayChris]

So i've had mine for over 2 years, over 50k miles and don't have any issues. After having xpel I'd probably go with xpel tint. First, xpel doens't have the rainbow effect when looking with polarized sunglasses. Second, the tint percentage I got on my Y is too dark, 5%, with the X i got like 15% so it's still dark enough. I also like the xpel and the color it provides as it's more of a charcoal grey. However, zero issues with rayno. It's been working great for me. The tint guy for the X also said he doesn't like rayno as it doesn't last long? But again, no issues on my side. up to you!

Been loving the videos. Thank you. Watching them on my tv so it’s hard to comment with the remote. Thank you. By the way. Is there anyway you can tell me the name of the spot you took your car too? I live in LA. I also had a question about charging when watching your video about that. Is it better not to charge everyday? My commune is not that far. Do I need to keep it at 75-80 or is it best to let the battery drain a little to 20 then do a over all charge. Thank you in advanced. Big fan bro your hilarious in a great way. I wish we were neighbors.

[@EverydayChris]

Hmm no sure the area haha gotta rewatch the video. Thanks bro!!! I get asked that question a lot. But to be safe and per tesla keep it plugged in! It’s not like a cell phone battery where it needs to recharge to prolong the life.

[@dmenera]

Awesome video! Since you changed the tint in the back hatch, can you tell the difference between the look of the back hatch and the rear windows when looking at your car from the outside?

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah. When it’s dark outside you can see inside where the screen is. But the privacy inside the trunk is fine. Only if there a bright screen on inside the car

[@RM-sd2jx]

Where I live, it’s 35% max and that’s fine with me. Don’t want it limo dark. Heat rejection is my top priority.

[@MrB711]

I've been reading other brands offer less reflection like 3M crystalline, Llumar Stratos, or Xpel Prime XR Plus

Yes it’s true probably but less heat rejection!

I just read that Ceramic tint is not good for the Model 3 rear glass because it already has UV/IR protection and the ceramic should be avoided for safety reasons. Is there any validity to this?

[@EverydayChris]

None. The windows in the car have UV IR protection but still you can feel it on hot days. The ceramic just helps it. Doesn't crack anyything

[@alextechtai]

Asking this do you find it bad driving at night during long road trips? Considering 25% for front two. Scared of not being able to see at night if on a dimly lit road when switching lanes

[@MadTangmini4wd]

firsr all. Ceramic technology is absorbing heat instead of block heat (metal tint). So if you are going to tint your roof, the. You better be careful! Because ceramic tint has its limitation of heating absorbing! ( so at hot day , you park your car under sunlight for hours, ceramic will not work good as people said 99% IR block). Also you are risk of roof window potential of crack, because ceramic tint like what I said earlier, it will absorb heat, so all the heat will stuck in between the factory UV film and Ceramic tint, it will cause over heat. And eventually there is a chance the roof glass will crack due to over heat

[@EverydayChris]

Interesting. Good to know. Yes still gets hot on hot days but after the interior cools the heat from the suns rays you don’t feel

[@jonlee809]

Do you live in Irvine? I swear your neighborhood looks like somewhere I run

[@messymarvelous1]

What % for front windows would match factory tint on model y??

[@Mechaneer]

That's a good question. I was thinking 50% on the back windows and roof, and 35% for the front windows so the overall look from the exterior is similar front and back, but I'm not sure because I don't own one yet and I haven't seen anyone do those numbers yet.

[@91Coconuts]

What do you recommend for roof tint % if I want to see through?

[@sk8terjoe98]

20% tint. Always go with the highest quality tint film if being placed on windows that are exposed directly to the sun most of the time. Look for infrared rejection stats on the tint. The higher the IR rejection the better.

[@MikeRadioNY]

I was confused by the recommended percentages. And tint place. What are best percentages? I like it dark but not limo dark. But like it looked in your side windows.

[@EverydayChris]

For me 5 percent for sides. Too dark for the fronts. I would go 15. 25 will show the insides easily with sun

[@MikeRadioNY]

Chris thank you! Your videos are amazing and have done more to make me order a model y white than anything else. I will be using all your affiliate links to get stuff! One question. I drove a Chevy Bolt today and with super cruise in interstates it had true no hands no feet driving. Camera on wheel made sure you kept eyes in road and even that system was more liberal than I was expecting. I am not one of those people who just wants a self driving car..but after using super cruise it’s obvious it’s safe to have cars self drive like that where you take control as needed… Do you think Tesla will ever engage a mode where you don’t need to touch the wheel? I know now there are cabin cameras. I hope this happens as I would have never expected GM to best Tesla to the hands free battle. What’s your thoughts? And do those makeshift solutions with steering wheel weights work good? Thank you again. Sorry to be off topic

[@EverydayChris]

Right now you can let the car drive without touching the wheel. Just need to provide counter force every so often! Soon it will be a thing

[@EverydayChris]

I have a counter weight as well and it works great for long road trips. Need to be careful about safety though

Hi there, is the tint going to trap heat on the roof glass and cause it to crack? or does it reflect most of the energy before it gets to the glass?

They do block the roof with UV and infrared protection so you are covered there. I tint it for extra protection

[@mrparkerdan]

All tints, including ceramic, have particles that absorb heat like a sponge. Once the “sponge” is full, heat starts getting into the car again. (Remember high school physics: energy can’t be destroyed, only stored or converted) …… with the exception of 3M Crystalline, which has a patented nano optical layer that reflects heat back outside, thus keeping the car cool even under long duration under the sun. Of course, you pay through the nose, and only a few tint shops are authorized to install 3M Crystalline, because it requires additional skills and 3M certification.

Great video. Thank you! Question: Do you have any low angle haze with the ceramic tint? In other words, when looking out the side windows, does it look slightly cloudy or hazy through the film? I understand that when the light is low (such as late afternoon or nearing sunset), ceramic films can give that feeling of being inside a dirty fish bowl. Or similar to a wildfire or smog outside even though there isn't any. I have 3M Ceramic IR on my car and I have this affect and don't like it. Curious if the Rayno S9 does this as well.
