![]() They produce vertically integrated electric vehicles, batteries, solar, and AI software and hardware solutions. Their mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Two recent road trips from JAX, FL West Palm Beach, FL & JAX, FL Asheville, NC in the hot summer months confirmed this. is an energy + technology company originally from California and currently headquartered in Austin, Texas. If you're into solar energy, tesla, or cool technology, this is the place for you Be sure to visit our friends at r/PowerWall and r/TeslaMotors Created. I find with the tint, ESPECIALLY the CR90 on the pano & windshield, in the summer months on road trips helps the A/C so it doesn't have to work nearly as hard and thus consuming more energy. A place to discuss Tesla Solar Panels, Solar Roof, Power Wall, and related gear. As we know bumping the A/C up by 1F can have an impact on energy consumption. while I didn't think much of this since you can turn the car's A/C on remotely, what I didn't anticipate was the benefit to road trips. Its a pretty slight blue tint on the plus, but it is there. It has a huge impact on the heat in the car. Actually XPel Prime XR Plus has a slight bluish tint to it, whereas Prime XR is true Charcoal. FL law says no darker than 15% on front doors & 20% behind that. What I did and am having removed right now. ![]() Their mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable energy. If you want tint on the clear part you're faced with 2 decisions: 1) Tint from the bottom up to the top of the defroster lines. The 15% is technically illegal where I live (FL) but had no issue from cops (knocking on wood). is an energy + technology company originally from California and currently headquartered in Austin, Texas. couldn't do it the same day as the CR90 since it was still a bit wet). Video & pix below (the strip on the windshield isn't them as I had that added yesterday. this is 100% clear (you can't tell it's even been applied at all except in the area where the teflon strip & dots are along the edges) & blocks 99.97% UV. 30 tint all around (except windshield) in WA state because legal limit for front windows is 25. The pano sunroofs & windshield also have 3M Crystaline (CR-90) on them. WHAT: I've got 3M FX-HP 15 (15% light allowed thru) on all doors, the rear windshield & in a small strip across the top of the front windshield. In fact, once this new tinting became available, Rivian abandoned its previously-announced plans to use electrochromic glass in the R1T and R1S, claiming that the tinting was more effective than electrochromic glass in reducing heat radiation into the cabin.Seen bunch of questions in different forums about tinting a Model S, & had a few questions when I mentioned deep in another post, so posting my experience here. Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian all use this new tinting. Meanwhile, new tinting technology became available that greatly increases infrared heat rejection by glass. (Again, the MB SkyMagic roof is framed on all sides, so there is no termination line in play.) Second, the film does not go completely transparent, so terminating it above the windshield would leave a visible line in the glass. (Boeing had to flatten the window panels to use this film in the Dreamliner, and the MB SkyMagic roof is a relatively small panel with little curvature.) First, the film has limited flexibility, and the bend as the roof descends to form the windshield might have been too extreme. Recently got the Tesla Trifecta done PPF/Ceramic/Tint loving the car and I would like to thing the tint has brought temps down inside Tried to match the Windows with 3M CIR - 70/30/70 - Front/front sides/rear+rear window Also threw on some 19' Volk TE37s with some 275/45/19 tires and still not loving the ride. Perhaps they were expecting developments in the technology before the car entered production, because by the time the car was headed for market the film that was available was not suitable for the purpose.Įlectrochromic film has two characteristics that made it difficult to use in an Air. ![]() In fact, the early prototypes of the Air had a switch to control the darkening mounted near the rearview mirror. So far no low angle haze or graininess noticed. Similar to Xpel XR Prime Plus, the Spectra Photosync 70 is crystal clear. ![]() Just finished getting Spectra Photosync 70 installed on my Midnight Silver Metallic PUP also on the front 3 windows. No rainbow effect with polarized glasses. Lucid originally intended to use electrochromic glass. The film color is more in the gray tones.
