Why Model 3 Owners in Van Nuys Love Window Tint
The Tesla Model 3 is sleek, efficient, and stylish—but it’s also loaded with large, untinted glass, especially the rear window and panoramic roof.
In sunny Van Nuys, Model 3 owners choose tint to:
- Reduce interior heat
- Protect passengers and electronics from UV
- Enhance privacy and aesthetics
- Improve driving comfort and visibility
Top Benefits of Tinting Your Tesla Model 3
🌞 UV Protection
Blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, preventing skin damage and interior fading.
🧊 Heat Rejection
High-performance ceramic films can block up to 80% of infrared heat.
👀 Enhanced Privacy
Keep your interior and valuables away from public view with darker shades.
💎 Sleek Appearance
Ceramic tints give your Model 3 a high-end, uniform look without bubbling or fading.
🔋 Increased Efficiency
With reduced cabin heat, your climate control system works less—helping preserve battery range.
