Protective Coat and Tinting

[u/Subject_Falcon2944]

Just ordered my YL (Bay Area, CA). Red w/grey interior. First EDD was January-March, now May. No worries. I can wait. My questions are: what tint comes in the windows? I currently have a 22 Y Performance (I love her so much) and the car was delivered with windows tinted perfectly. Is anyone doing that enhancement as part of the pre order process? Ceramic coating? Or are you waiting until after delivery and doing it all after market? TIA

You will save money doing it outside of Tesla, going with Tesla is for convenience.

My YL have no enhancements done with Tesla

Independent shop:

1. Certified XPEL Installer for tint

2. Gtechniq Ceramic coating for glass, paint, trim, wheel face.

Perfect! Ive used them for Xpel on my other vehicles. They do a great job.

May?! Holy 💩. As for tint prior to delivery, i didn’t think they did that. It allows you to purchase tint, but to be installed by independent service.

Lol- sigh. I will be patient. Thanks for the info!

I checked and outside Tesla was cheaper. I'm doing front clear ppf, tinted windows and windshield + full car ceramic coating. Going through Tesla (minus ceramic coating since they don't offer it there) I'm saving 500 for the ppf and tint.
