Tesla Window Tinting in New Mexico

Window tint regulations are set at state level and cover things like which windows may be filmed and how much light must pass through them. Because the rules differ from state to state, it is worth reading the current requirements before you settle on a shade. You can find the details on our New Mexico window tint laws page. Choosing a film and meeting the legal requirements are two separate steps, and your Kepler dealer can discuss how the shade you like sits alongside them.

Newly fitted film needs a settling period before the windows are used as normal, so follow the timescale your installer gives you rather than a general rule. After that, clean the glass with a soft cloth and a mild, ammonia-free cleaner, and avoid abrasive pads or scrapers that can mark the film surface. Simple, gentle cleaning is all that is usually needed to keep the film looking right for the long term.

For the best results, follow the guidance from your installer. For more detail, see our how to care for your Tesla Window Tint page.

Kepler IR and IR+ are nano-ceramic films rather than dyed or metallized products. The nano-ceramic construction is what lets the film work on solar heat, glare and UV across a range of shades, and because it is non-metallic it does not rely on metal layers within the film. That matters in a Tesla, where owners generally want comfort improvements without altering the character of the cabin.

To compare shades on the car, visit our Kepler Experience Tesla page to see the ranges in detail.

Ceramic film addresses three things at once: solar heat entering through the glass, glare from bright sun, and UV exposure that affects interior surfaces over time. The practical benefit is a cabin that is more comfortable to sit in and interiors that are shielded from constant sunlight. How much difference you notice depends on the film, the shade and the glass it is applied to, which is why the comparison should be made on the specific options you are choosing between. There is more on our ceramic window tint technology page.

Compare the Kepler ceramic ranges and choose the shade that suits your Tesla.

Cost depends on the film range and shade you choose and on the vehicle itself, and it is quoted by the independent dealer who will do the work. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. You can read more about the ranges on our pricing guides page. Because dealers set their own quotes, the enquiry form is the right place to start rather than a general figure.

An infrared meter is the usual demonstration tool. A lamp is directed at the glass and the meter reads how much infrared energy is coming through, which gives an indication of how the film handles that part of the spectrum. Many dealers keep one on hand and will happily run the demonstration with a sample.

Bear in mind that a meter demonstration shows infrared only, which is one part of overall solar performance, so use the published figures for the exact film and shade as your main comparison.

Solar energy reaching your Tesla's glass arrives as visible light, ultraviolet and infrared. Each behaves differently: visible light is what you see and what causes glare, ultraviolet is the part that works on interior materials over time, and infrared is felt as heat without being visible at all. A nano-ceramic film is designed to work across that spectrum rather than to darken the glass and hope for the best, which is why shade alone is a poor guide to how a film will perform. The published figures for each film and shade set out how the IR and IR+ ranges handle these components, and your Kepler dealer can compare them with you against the way you actually use the car.

The IR and IR+ ranges give you a real choice of shades, from the near-invisible Photon to the deep Nebula, all built on the same nano-ceramic technology. That means the decision about how the car looks does not have to be a decision about comfort, and the film can be matched to your Tesla's glazing rather than applied to a template. Your dealer will identify the existing glass and recommend accordingly.

Kepler supplies window film to independent installers, and those installers handle customers directly. To reach one, use our find a local tinter page and send your enquiry. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

You get a nano-ceramic film that works on solar heat, glare and UV, a spread of shades so the look of the car stays your decision, and a dealer who assesses your Tesla before recommending anything. Because glazing and suitability vary by model and year, that individual assessment is worth as much as the film specification itself. More on the technology is on our ceramic window tint technology page.
