Tesla Model Y Window Tinting Review: Cost & Heat Rejection

Solargard Zenith Window Tinting for Tesla Model Y

Congratulations on your new Tesla Model Y Juniper! A common first consideration for new car owners is window tinting and related protection packages. For electric vehicles like the Model Y, choosing a film that doesn't interfere with electronics is crucial. This review details a recent new car package installation at 'Og-ui-ka' (Today's Car) in Busan, South Korea, featuring Solargard Zenith tinting and paint protection film (PPF).

Solargard Zenith Tint: Key Features and Benefits

The Tesla Model Y Juniper featured in this case received Solargard Zenith premium window tint. The front windshield was tinted to 30% opacity, while the side and rear windows were done at 15%. This film boasts an impressive 99% UV rejection rate and over 95% infrared (IR) rejection. This translates to superior heat rejection, clear visibility, and enhanced privacy. A significant advantage of Solargard Zenith is its metal-free composition, eliminating any concerns about electromagnetic interference with the vehicle's systems – a critical factor for EV owners. The key advantages include:

• UV Rejection: 99%
• Infrared (IR) Rejection: 95%+
• Electromagnetic Interference: None (metal-free)
• Visibility and Privacy: Excellent

Paint Protection Film (PPF) for Daily Wear

Alongside window tinting, paint protection film (PPF) is a popular choice for new car owners. The 'Starter Package' at Og-ui-ka includes both tinting and PPF. This package is designed for those who want essential protection at a reasonable price. The PPF is applied to areas prone to scratches and contamination, such as the headlights, door edges, charging port cover, and inside the door handle cups. This thin, clear film safeguards the vehicle's paintwork from minor scratches and daily wear and tear.

New Car Package Benefits at Og-ui-ka

Customers opting for a new car package at Og-ui-ka receive additional complimentary services. The Starter Package includes items like a warranty card, a phone case, a screen protector, a rear emergency escape lever, and aluminum pedals. This comprehensive package, valued at approximately 650,000 Korean Won (roughly $500 USD, subject to exchange rates), offers significant value. For Tesla Model Y owners planning further customizations or upgrades, Og-ui-ka recommends their services for quality materials and expert application.

Window Tinting Installation Process:

1. Surface Preparation: The vehicle's windows are thoroughly cleaned and degreased to ensure optimal adhesion.
2. Film Cutting: The chosen tint film is precisely cut to match the exact dimensions of each window, often using specialized cutting machines.
3. Application: The film is carefully applied to the interior side of the glass, using a squeegee to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish.
4. Curing: The tint requires a curing period (typically 24-48 hours) during which the adhesive sets, and the film fully adheres to the glass. Avoid rolling down windows during this time.
