Tesla Window Tinting in New York

Window tint rules are set by state law and cover things like which windows may be filmed and how much light must pass through them. They differ from state to state, so it is worth reading the current rules before you settle on a shade. You can find them set out on our New York window tint laws page. Choosing a film and staying within the law are two separate steps: a shade you like the look of may not be permitted on every window, and the legal position for your vehicle is yours to confirm.

Talk to a Kepler Tesla tinting professional about the film and shade that suit your car.

Newly applied film needs time to cure, so leave the windows up for the period your installer specifies. After that, clean the glass with a soft cloth and a mild, ammonia-free cleaner, and keep abrasive pads, scrapers and sharp objects away from the filmed surface. Treated that way, the film should stay clear and even for the long term. If you are unsure about a product, ask the dealer who fitted it.

Kepler's IR and IR+ ranges are nano-ceramic rather than dyed or metallized films, designed to manage solar heat and glare while keeping the view out clear. Because heat performance is not tied to how dark the film looks, lighter shades are a genuine option rather than a compromise. Compare the exact film and shade you are considering, since that is where the difference shows.

Nano-ceramic film is chosen mainly for comfort: it reduces the solar heat coming through the glass, cuts glare on bright roads and helps limit ultraviolet exposure that fades interior trim over time. It also gives you a choice of appearance, from barely visible to deeply private. For more on how the film is built and what each range offers, see our ceramic window tint technology page.

Cost depends on the car, which windows are being filmed and which range and shade you choose, so quotes are given by the dealer who will do the work rather than fixed in advance. You can see how the options compare on our pricing guides page, then send a quote request with your Tesla's details. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Installers often demonstrate film with an infrared meter and heat lamp, which shows how much heat passes through a filmed panel compared with untreated glass. It is a useful comparison as long as the same test is applied to each sample. Remember that visible light transmission, the amount of light passing through, is a separate measure from heat performance, so judge the two independently.

Solar energy reaches the cabin as visible light, infrared and ultraviolet, and a film's performance against each is measured separately. Nano-ceramic construction is what allows Kepler's IR and IR+ films to address solar heat without relying on a very dark shade, and without the metal layers that some older films used. Our ceramic window tint technology page explains how the ranges are built and how to read their specifications.

The usual reasons are comfort and appearance. Nano-ceramic film reduces solar heat and glare through large glass areas, helps limit UV exposure inside the car, and comes in a range of shades so the finished look is yours to choose. The film is built in layers with a durable surface, so it is made to keep its clarity rather than discolor as it ages.

Your installer can show you the shades on the car and explain how each film performs before you decide.

Kepler film is supplied to independent dealers who handle customers directly, from quoting to fitting. To reach one, use our find a local tinter page or send a quote request with your Tesla's model and the shade you have in mind. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

A nano-ceramic film range built for solar heat, glare and UV control, a choice of shades from almost clear to very dark, and an installer who assesses your Tesla's glazing before recommending anything. Between the IR and IR+ ranges there is usually a combination that suits both the look you want and the way you use the car.
