Understanding the Different Shades of Tesla Window Tint

What are the different shades of tint available for Tesla car windows? See our guide as we look at and compare Tesla window tint and the benefits today.

In terms of impressive vehicles, Teslas are up there. If you’re fortunate enough to have your very own, you might be in the market for some customization. After all, what’s the point in having such a beautiful machine only to leave it as you bought it?

Did you know that a staggering 92% of Americans own a car? With so many on the road, it only makes sense to want to stand out a little. A Tesla window tint does more than simply look good, however.



If you’re considering tinting your windows and wondering about the options available, you’ve come to the right place! Read on to find out more.

Understanding Window Tint Legality

Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way first. If you’re imagining how good your Tesla would look with blacked-out windows, limousine style, you wouldn’t be the first. Unfortunately, Illinois state law forbids that sort of thing.

Window tints are categorized by the percentage of light they let through, or VLT (visible light transmission). Teslas fall into the sedan category of automobiles, so the law regarding legal tint addition for sedans must be followed accordingly.

For your windshield, you’re allowed non-reflective tints on the first top six inches only. For the front, back, and side windows, nothing darker than 35% VLT is permitted. Anything darker than that and you’re going to get a hefty fine the next time a cop drives past you.

Tesla Window Tint Options

For the moment, we have four types of Tesla window tint shades available at Tint To U. Depending on the look you’re going for, or the additional protection additional tint offers, you can decide which is best.

Our darkest tint available starts, with the law in mind, at 35%. As previously mentioned, this is the darkest you can go without having to worry about legal repercussions. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it doesn’t look the part though, as 35% is much darker than it sounds!

If you don’t want to go quite so dark but still want to change things up, a medium tint between VLT 35 and 65 is your best bet. This appears as a dark gray color.

If the darker tints aren’t your thing, we stock light and clear options ranging between 65% and 95%. Window tints are never perfectly clear, but 95% is only a hair off. They say the devil’s in the details, and when it comes to tinting windows, the subtle option can make all the difference when choosing Tesla window tint.

High-Quality Tint Benefits

The benefits of having your windows tinted are probably further reaching than you’d expect. Most people start their research simply because tinted windows look fantastic, and are maybe looking for a little more privacy. 

Tinting windows isn’t as simple as applying a layer of colored plastic to the interior of your windows, the material is a lot more advanced than that. At Tint To U, we only use the most premium window tints available and we’re the exclusive dealer of Llumar’s FormulaOne window tint in the Orland Park and Plainfield area.
