Tesla Model Y Window Tinting
Denver, Colorado
The Tesla Model Y is Colorado's most popular electric SUV, and with approximately 56 square feet of total glass area — including the massive panoramic roof — it's also one of the vehicles that benefits most from professional window tinting. At Denver's 5,280-foot elevation, UV radiation is roughly 25% stronger than at sea level, and Colorado enjoys over 300 days of sunshine annually.
Our premium ceramic window tint for the Model Y blocks up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays. This dramatically reduces cabin temperatures, protects your interior from fading, and reduces strain on the climate system — preserving battery range when you need it most.
Why the Model Y Needs Premium Tinting
56 Square Feet of Glass
The Model Y has one of the largest glass-to-body ratios of any SUV. The panoramic roof alone accounts for a significant portion. All of this glass means massive solar heat gain without proper tinting.
Elevated UV Exposure
At Colorado's mile-high elevation, UV rays are approximately 25% more intense. Combined with 300+ annual sunshine days, untinted Model Y glass exposes passengers and interiors to accelerated UV damage.
Rear Passenger Comfort
Model Y rear passengers sit directly under the panoramic glass roof. Without tinting, rear cabin temperatures can be 15–20°F hotter than the front. Ceramic roof tint solves this completely.
Cargo Privacy
The Model Y's SUV form factor makes cargo visible through the large rear window and hatch glass. Darker rear tinting provides privacy and security for your belongings.

Should I tint my Model Y panoramic roof?+
The Model Y's panoramic glass roof already blocks most UV rays from the factory, but it still lets in significant infrared heat. Adding a ceramic tint to the roof can reduce cabin temperatures by 10–15°F, improve rear passenger comfort, and reduce AC load for better range. We recommend a high-clarity ceramic film (70% VLT) that maintains the airy, open feel while blocking 85%+ of infrared heat.
What tint darkness is legal for Model Y in Colorado?+
Colorado requires a minimum of 27% VLT on front side windows. The Model Y's factory front glass is approximately 74% VLT, so a 35% ceramic film brings the combined VLT to ~27%. Rear windows can be any darkness. See our Colorado tint laws guide for full details.
Does tinting help with Model Y range?+
Yes. By blocking up to 98% of infrared heat, ceramic tint significantly reduces the load on the Model Y's climate system. In Colorado's intense summer sun (300+ days of sunshine, 25% stronger UV at elevation), this can meaningfully reduce energy consumption and help preserve range.
