Built for EV Technology
Older metalized tints can interfere with the very systems modern EVs depend on. Nano-ceramic film from 3M is different. It rejects heat through ceramic technology rather than metal, so it will not interfere with the cameras, sensors, GPS, key fob, cellular, or onboard connectivity your Tesla relies on. You keep every bit of your Autopilot hardware, your phone-as-key, and your signal strength, while gaining serious heat and UV protection.
We are an authorized 3M and XPEL dealer, and for EVs we typically recommend 3M Crystalline, an infrared-rejection ceramic film that blocks a tremendous amount of heat without going dark, or 3M ColorStable for a deep, even, non-purpling finish. Both carry a nationwide lifetime manufacturer warranty, and every install is backed by our own lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Panoramic Glass Roof
If you drive a Model 3 or Model Y, your panoramic glass roof is one of the best and most challenging features for heat. That huge expanse of glass overhead lets sunlight pour straight down on you, and on a San Antonio afternoon it can be brutal. We apply ceramic film specifically cut for the Tesla glass roof to cut overhead heat and block UV, so you get the open, airy feel of the panoramic roof without baking underneath it. The same applies to the larger glass areas on the Model S and Model X.
Precision Install
We use precision computer-cut patterns matched to your exact vehicle, whether it is a Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, a Rivian, or another EV. That means clean edges, no razor blades on your glass, and a finish that looks like it came that way from the factory. If you want to see real installs before you book, take a look at our gallery.
Everything we do is Texas tint-law compliant, so your EV passes inspection and you avoid any trouble on the road. Not sure what is legal here? We will walk you through the Texas tint laws and recommend the right shade for your goals. Curious about pricing?

FAQ
No. We use nano-ceramic film, which rejects heat through ceramic rather than metal. It will not interfere with your cameras, sensors, GPS, cellular connection, or phone-as-key, so all of your Tesla's technology keeps working normally.
It helps indirectly. Ceramic tint blocks infrared heat from entering the cabin, so your climate system works less to keep the interior cool. In an electric vehicle, running the AC less means less battery used on cooling, which helps preserve range on hot Texas days.
Yes. We apply ceramic film cut specifically for the Tesla glass roof to cut overhead heat and block UV, so you keep the open feel of the panoramic roof while staying much cooler underneath it.
Absolutely. We tint Rivian and other electric vehicles with the same premium ceramic film and precision computer-cut patterns. Just give us your make and model for an accurate quote.
