Kepler Film, Made for Tesla Glass

A Tesla puts a lot of glass between you and the sun, and on a bright day that is felt long before the air conditioning catches up. Kepler's nano-ceramic IR and IR+ films are built to control that heat without the mirrored look or signal problems of metallised tint. Choose a shade below, then get an online price from an independent Kepler dealer.

Your Tesla window film options in Connecticut

Kepler makes two nano-ceramic automotive ranges: Kepler IR and the higher-specification Kepler IR+. Both are metal-free, which is why they keep a smooth, non-reflective finish and leave phone, key and radio signals alone. What separates them is the published performance data for each shade, so it is always worth asking which range and shade a Connecticut quote actually covers.

Adding film to a new Tesla

Kepler makes the film; independent tinting businesses fit it. A new Tesla is therefore booked in with a Kepler dealer once you have settled on a range and shade, rather than arriving with the film already on the glass. There is a good case for doing it while the interior is still new: Kepler's Warranty Information covers the film against manufacturing defects such as bubbling, peeling and fading, with claims handled through the shop that fitted it.

Less heat in the cabin, less work for the air conditioning

The glass area on a Tesla is generous, and on a hot Connecticut afternoon a parked car turns it into a greenhouse before you have even opened a door. Kepler's ceramic layer blocks a large share of the infrared heat in sunlight, so there is less stored heat to shift when you get in. How much that changes your range depends on the car, the weather and how you drive, so treat it as comfort first and efficiency second.

Start with a cooler cabin

Most of the heat that builds up in a parked car arrives as infrared radiation through the glass. Kepler lists IR+ at up to 98% infrared heat blocking, and the ceramic layer does that without a metallic finish, so the cabin you climb into has less heat stored in it and the air conditioning has less to pull back down.

Glare, fading and UV

Heat is only part of the job. Kepler lists ultraviolet transmittance at under 1% across its ceramic shades, which is what keeps seats, screens and trim from bleaching, and every shade carries its own glare reduction figure, from a small effect on the near-clear film to a strong one on the darkest. Low winter sun on a Connecticut commute is exactly when you notice the difference.

Inside Kepler's ceramic film

Kepler's automotive films are nano-ceramic rather than dyed or metallised, and that matters twice over. A metal-free film keeps phone, key fob and antenna signals clear, and the ceramic layer lets a lighter film do real heat work, so you are not pushed into the darkest shade just to stay comfortable. Visible light transmission and heat performance are separate measurements, and Kepler publishes both for every shade.

The ceramic layer

The heat control comes from a nano-ceramic layer rather than metal or dye. Kepler publishes an infrared blocking figure and a separate total solar energy rejection figure for each shade, and the second is always the lower of the two. That is worth knowing when you compare quotes, because the two numbers are not interchangeable.

Why ceramic film suits a Tesla

A Tesla puts a lot of glass in front of the sun and a lot of electronics behind it. Kepler's metal-free construction means the film is not sitting between your phone, key or antennas and the outside world, and the ceramic layer carries the heat performance instead. Kepler supplies that film to independent tinting businesses and says plainly that it is not involved in the installation, so the specification is what Kepler stands behind and the fitting is your dealer's craft.

Multi-Layer Technology

The stack alongside starts with your Tesla's glass and builds up through the Ultra Bond adhesive, a UV absorber, the tinted layer, a laminating adhesive, the nano-ceramic infrared layer and the Scratch Guard+ coating on top. Kepler lists the finished film at 1.5 mil across every shade in both ranges.

The numbers, and what they mean

The figures beside this are maximums from Kepler's published IR+ data, and they are not all reached by the same shade: the darkest film carries the highest glare reduction, while the near-clear one is much lower. Ultraviolet transmittance is under 1% right across the range. Ask your dealer for the data sheet for the exact shade you are quoted, and compare infrared blocking against infrared blocking rather than against a solar figure.

Find Kepler Film Near You

Kepler sells its film through independent tinting businesses rather than fitting it, so the next step is finding a dealer who works with the range you want. Browse Connecticut below and open the find-a-tinter page from there. The dealer you contact confirms their own availability, pricing and fitting arrangements; Kepler makes the introduction and the film, and the rest of the conversation is between you and the business doing the work.

Nebula IR+

Nebula is the darkest film Kepler makes, chosen for privacy in the back of the car and listed with the highest glare reduction in the range. It is far below what Connecticut allows on the front side windows, so it is a rear-glass shade here.

Kepler's darkest film: maximum privacy in the rear, and the highest glare reduction in the range. Too dark for Connecticut front side windows.

Why Tesla owners choose Kepler film

A Kepler dealer fits the same car window tint ranges on a Tesla as on any other car: nano-ceramic IR, or the higher-specification IR+, both metal-free so they leave signals alone. What changes with a Tesla is the glass, in large curved panels that have to be shaped accurately, and that is the installer's craft rather than the film's. Indicative costs for each range are set out on our tint price page.

Tesla side and rear glass is steeply curved, and film has to be shaped to it rather than simply laid on. That work belongs to the independent business fitting it, so it is fair to ask a tinter how they handle the rear screen and the small quarter panels before you book. Kepler's part is the material: a 1.5 mil ceramic construction with the Ultra Bond adhesive and a Scratch Guard+ top coat, made to hold a consistent, non-reflective finish across shaped panels. For an indicative price on your model, use the online price link above.

Connecticut gives film two jobs. In July it is heat: a large glass area, a car that has been standing in the sun, and an air conditioning system that has to bring it all back down. In January it is light, with low sun on the drive home coming straight through the glass and off wet road. Every Kepler shade is published with its own glare reduction figure, and ultraviolet transmittance under 1% across the range keeps the interior from bleaching either way.

Kepler describes itself as an independent supplier of window film to tinting businesses, and says it is not involved in the installation or in dealing with vehicle owners directly. The dealer you are introduced to is a separate business that sets its own prices, its own schedule and its own guarantee on the workmanship. That is worth knowing when you compare quotes, because two dealers can fit the same Kepler film and price the job quite differently.

Kepler offers a complete Warranty Information on the quality and longevity of our window films. Selecting Kepler for your Tesla window tinting in Connecticut ensures long-lasting performance and protection. Designed to resist discoloration, blistering, and peeling, our films ensure your Tesla keeps its sleek look and functionality for years. The Warranty Information demonstrates our confidence in our products and our commitment to providing Tesla owners with top-quality window tinting solutions.

Tesla window tinting in Connecticut: common questions

Connecticut DMV sets the standard the finished glass has to meet: an allowable light transmittance of no less than 35 per cent, plus or minus three per cent, to receive a tint compliance sticker. Any window darkened after the car left the factory counts as after-market tint, so the vehicle has to be presented at a DMV inspection lane, and the sticker is affixed by the DMV rather than by the installer. There is also a medical exemption route, for tint between 32 per cent and not less than 20 per cent, applied for on Form E-220. Our Connecticut window tint laws page goes through it in more detail. Measure the film and the glass together, not the film alone, because the number on the roll is not the number the DMV reads.

Kepler Tesla Window Tinting Installation Across

Leave the windows up for as long as your installer tells you: the adhesive needs time to dry out, and winding a window down too early can catch the edge. After that, clean the glass with a soft microfibre cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner, and keep abrasive pads and scrapers away from the inside face, which is the side the film is on. Kepler's warranty covers manufacturing defects such as bubbling, peeling and fading, but not scratches or accidental damage, so the inside face is the part worth being careful with.

It is nano-ceramic and metal-free. Dyed films fade and metallised films can interfere with signals; Kepler builds the heat control into a ceramic layer instead, which is why the range is described as signal-friendly and holds a smooth, non-reflective finish. Kepler also publishes a full table for each shade rather than a single headline number, so visible light, glare, ultraviolet and solar performance can be read separately.

See the ranges shade by shade on our Kepler Experience Tesla page.

Three things, and they are measured separately. It blocks infrared heat, which is what keeps the cabin cooler; it holds ultraviolet transmittance under 1% across the range, which is what stops the interior bleaching; and it reduces glare by an amount that depends entirely on how dark the shade is. Because there is no metal in the film, none of that comes at the cost of signal reception. There is more on the construction on our ceramic window tint technology page.

You will often be shown a heat lamp and an infrared meter either side of a sample. It is a fair demonstration of one thing, how much infrared the film blocks at the wavelengths that meter reads, but it is not a measure of total solar energy rejection, which counts visible light and ultraviolet as well and always comes out lower.

Kepler Tesla Window Tinting Installation Test

The more useful test is the published data sheet for the shade you are being quoted, which lists infrared blocking and total solar energy rejection as separate lines. Ask your dealer for it.

No, and it is the most common confusion in tint quotes. Infrared blocking describes one part of the spectrum, and Kepler lists up to 98% for IR+. Total solar energy rejection describes the whole of the solar energy reaching the glass, and Kepler publishes a separate, noticeably lower figure for every shade. Both numbers are useful; neither is a cabin temperature, a range saving or a promise about a particular car. When you weigh up quotes, compare the same measurement on the same shade.

Because of what is published and what is covered. The films are nano-ceramic and metal-free, listed at 1.5 mil with the Ultra Bond adhesive and a Scratch Guard+ coating, and every shade comes with a full performance table rather than one headline figure. The Warranty Information covers manufacturing defects for the life of the vehicle. What Kepler does not do is fit the film, so the workmanship is down to the dealer you choose, and it is reasonable to ask to see their work first.

Four questions cover most of it. Which range is being quoted, IR or IR+? Which shade, and what is the finished light transmittance on the front side windows once that film is on your glass? Is the car going to a DMV lane for its tint compliance sticker? And what does the dealer guarantee on their own workmanship, separately from Kepler's warranty on the film? Our ceramic window tint technology page sets out what the ceramic construction does.
