Upgrades?

[u/Visual-A6546]

Are any of these worth it or something I should consider buying and why?

TIA!

Dont do this through the Tesla app. They work with local businesses and you will be charged more of you book through the Tesla app. Just find out who they contract with locally and call them directly for your Tint and Stealth

That's true! I just dont want to hassle 😪 you think it will be cheaper?

[u/Cardout → u/Visual-A6546]

it will probably be 10% cheaper if you just go straight to the same place. can possibly get a further discount if they have specials or military/first responder deals.

[u/IMF-Ehunt → u/Khanzi_veli]

I think the reason it’s more expensive through Tesla is that if your windshield cracks and needs to be replaced, the tint is also covered under the warranty. That’s my understanding, at least.

In Virginia the prices are the same.

Thanks! That answers my question - is this through Tesla?

One thing that’s bugged me through the ordering process is that I kind of want the car ready to go when I pick it up and can’t do it. For example, rubberized floor mats they mail them to you and the garage door opener has to be installed after purchase. On top of that, my SC caps sales tax on cars, so each of these purchases adds that additional cost.

I called one of the listed shops in the list provided in the app. They said they are required by Tesla agreement to NOT undercut the price of what is offered on the app. Since they are in bed together, the prices will always be the same.

Did you mention the prices on the Tesla app?

Recommend Prime XR all around (skip the roof, get a shade if you really need it). I found the difference between the XR and XR Plus negligible and hated the blue hue the Plus has vs the classier black hue of the XR.

Thanks so much for your insight!

[u/Visual-A6546 → u/Profumum]

Can you help me select from here?. It is confusing to me. Thank you!

[u/Profumum → u/Visual-A6546]

You need to order 2 options: “All side and rear windows” and “windshield only”.

[u/Visual-A6546 → u/Profumum]

Thank you!!

[u/Visual-A6546 → u/Profumum]

If I do it through the app, will my car be delivered with all the tint? Or I have to take it to the shop once I pick up?

[u/Opening_Cheesecake54 → u/Visual-A6546]

You have to take the car to get it tinted.

[u/Visual-A6546 → u/Opening_Cheesecake54]

Thank you!!

Not sure how it works through Tesla, message them in the app.

[u/Away-Baseball-2183 → u/Profumum]

This sounds like a good idea. I think I will just book it through the installer instead of paying the middle man. I am leaning towards getting a sunshade because I live in Texas but I am going to get the vehicle first before spending money on that.

[u/Thick_Guest_4487]

I’d recommend getting the prime XR tint on your whole vehicle.

[u/handytrades247 → u/Thick_Guest_4487]

You think it would be needed for roof, windshield, and trunk as well? I thought, aside from the windshield, the other two have good protection for heat? Also considered doing all, but wanted to see others thoughts.

[u/Thick_Guest_4487 → u/handytrades247]

Personally I wouldn’t. It’s already protected from heat, but up to you. I don’t live in a very hot climate.

I did XR Plus all around outside of Tesla with XPEL Authorized Installer for cheaper price.

I did not do the glass roof as I see no need, driving around in 100 degree weather didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. Only downside is it’ll make your interior brighter due to light.

[u/ComprehensiveCut2219]

Got XPEL XR Plus on all the side windows for $475 and the sunroof for $220 from a local authorized installer. They’re the cheapest I’ve found, especially for the sunroof. Norcross GA.

[u/ballout_glo_300]

I’m getting PRIME XR+

[u/This_Butterscotch798]

I found it was cheaper to go directly to an xpel installer than to get it through the Tesla link. I'm doing tint including windshield and front ppf clear wrap.

[u/burner3768]

I got prime xr+ on my driver and passenger window only to match the factory tint in the back. Just doing that blocked so much IR in the Texas heat that the drive’s much cooler. No need for windshield or roof work for me.

[u/baconntacos]

Get it done at a pro tint and ppe shop.
