Tesla Window Tinting in Downey, CA

Tint rules are set at state level and apply to your vehicle regardless of which film you choose, so it is worth checking them before you settle on a shade. Film selection and legal compliance are separate questions, and your installer can help you match the two. For the current details, see our window tint laws page.

Follow the aftercare advice your installer gives you, including how long to leave the windows up after fitting, as this depends on the film and conditions. After that, clean the glass with a soft cloth and a gentle, ammonia-free cleaner, and avoid abrasive pads or scrapers on the filmed surface. Regular gentle cleaning keeps the film looking its best.

Kepler's IR and IR+ ranges are ceramic window tinting films, built with nanoparticle technology aimed at infrared heat rather than relying on a dark shade to do the work. That means you can choose a lighter look and still have a film designed for solar heat and glare. Compare the exact film and shade, since visible light transmission is a separate measure from solar heat performance.

Cost depends on the film range and shade, the model and the windows you want treated, so pricing is confirmed by the installer rather than shown on this page. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. For more information, see quote enquiry.

Tesla glazing varies by model and year, and some cars have large panels and frameless side glass that call for careful preparation and patient work. An installer who knows the model will plan the job around that glass rather than treating it like any other car, which is one reason it is worth asking about their experience with Teslas when you enquire.

Once the film has cured, a simple comparison gives you a feel for it: lower a window halfway in direct sun and hold your hand behind the tinted section, then the untinted section. It is an impression rather than a measurement, and installers use infrared meters for accurate readings. If you want the data for a particular film, ask your dealer for the figures for that exact product and shade.

Sunlight reaching your glass includes visible light, ultraviolet and infrared. The shade of a film affects visible light, while the IR and IR+ ranges use a nano-ceramic construction aimed at infrared heat, so the film is not depending on darkness alone.

Kepler develops nano-ceramic film ranges for automotive glass and supplies them to independent installers, who handle the fitting and look after you as the customer. If ceramic performance, a choice of shades and a clean finish on your Tesla matter to you, ask a Kepler dealer to talk you through the IR and IR+ options for your model.

Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. If you contact a shop directly, ask whether it can source and install Kepler film for your Tesla.

Windshield film is something Tesla owners often ask about, because of the amount of glass above the dashboard. Any windshield application has to respect state tint rules, so a very light film is the usual starting point and your installer will advise on what is permitted. Kepler's lighter ceramic shades are designed to work on solar heat without a heavy change in appearance.
