Why Tesla Owners in Encino Tint Their Vehicles
Living in sunny Encino means constant exposure to heat and harmful UV rays. Tesla owners want to preserve their vehicle’s modern interior and stay cool on the road.
Benefits of tinting include:
- 🌞 Blocks up to 99% of UV rays
- 🌡️ Reduces heat buildup in the cabin
- 👀 Cuts down glare while driving
- 💺 Preserves leather, dash, and electronics
- 🎨 Adds a stylish, finished look to your Tesla
UV Damage: What You Don’t See Can Hurt Your Tesla
While you may not see UV rays, they’re silently damaging your Tesla’s:
- Leather or vegan seats
- Dashboard and screen surfaces
- Plastics and trim
- Occupants’ skin and eyes
Both 3M and STEK ceramic tints block 99%+ of UV rays, meeting medical-grade protection standards for you and your car.
Glare Reduction for Safer Driving
Glare from the sun—or headlights at night—can impact reaction time and visibility.
Ceramic tint:
- Cuts harsh sunlight and reflections
- Enhances road visibility without darkening views too much
- Reduces eye strain on long commutes
- Makes autopilot visuals easier to read
Sherman Way, Ventura Blvd, and the 101 are easier to navigate when you’re not squinting through reflections.
