Tesla Window Tinting in Utah

Utah sets the limits in the traffic code and the Highway Patrol publishes them. Your windshield has to let through more than 70% of light, with non-transparent material allowed only along the top edge — the AS-1 line or the top four inches — plus a three by four inch patch in the lower left corner. Front side windows must let through at least 35%, and an officer metering them is allowed a 5% variance. Behind the driver there is no light limit, but if you tint back there the car needs both left and right rear-view mirrors, and no window may look metallic or mirrored. The detail is all on our window tint laws page. Worth knowing before you pick a shade: it is the finished window that gets metered, glass and film together, not the film off the roll.

Fresh film needs time to cure, so leave the windows up until the company that fitted it tells you otherwise — how long depends on the film and the weather that week. After that, clean the inside of the glass with a soft microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner, and keep anything abrasive away from it, paper towels included. Some haze while the film settles is normal; if it is still there afterwards, that is worth a call.

There is more on our how to care for your Tesla Window Tint page, and if something is not right, go back to the company that installed it.

It is nano-ceramic, and the layer doing the work is not metal. Metal reflects, and in a car full of antennas it can get in the way; dye fades. Kepler publishes IR+ at up to 98% infrared rejection and over 99% of UV blocked, with glare down by up to 96%. Every Kepler automotive film also carries a Warranty Information against manufacturing defects, covering the film for the life of the vehicle. Heat control, no metal, and a warranty that lasts as long as the car — that is the short answer.

Dyed film is cheap and it fades. Metalized film works, but the metal reflects and can sit between a modern car and the signals it depends on — and in Utah a metallic or mirrored window is not legal in the first place. Kepler builds both automotive ranges around a nano-ceramic layer instead: no mirror, and the heat still handled. Kepler publishes 81% infrared rejection across the four IR shades, and up to 98% on IR+. The longer version is on our ceramic window tint technology page.

It depends on the range, the shade and how many panels you want done — a Tesla with a glass roof is a bigger job than four side windows. Kepler does not set the price; the dealer fitting the film does. For a starting point, see our pricing guides page, then send a request through the quote form so the closest dealer can price your car properly.

An infrared meter is the usual way. Put a heat lamp on one side of the glass and the meter on the other, with the film and without, and the difference is the infrared the film is holding back. A tint meter does the same job for visible light — that is the reading an officer takes in Utah, on the glass and film together.

Both are quick checks, and either one tells you more than looking at the glass ever will.

Kepler IR is published at 81% infrared rejection across its four shades. Kepler IR+ is published at 98% on four of its five, with the near-clear Photon at 93%. Infrared is only part of the total solar energy hitting the glass, and that total does move with the shade: IR+ is rated at 72% total solar energy rejected on the darkest shade and 51% on Photon. Which is a long way of saying darker still runs cooler. There is more detail on the Utah ceramic window tinting page if you want to see how the ceramic layer does it.

Kepler IR is the value end: four shades, 81% infrared rejection published across all of them, over 99% of UV blocked, ceramic rather than metalized, and the same Warranty Information. Kepler IR+ is the one to pick if heat is your main complaint — published at up to 98% infrared rejection, with a fifth shade, Photon, that is almost invisible on the glass. Through a Utah summer, and especially under a glass roof, that gap is worth thinking about.

Both ranges share the same 4%, 20% and 33% shades, so choosing between them is not about how dark you want to go. It is about how hard you want the film to work.
