While technically accurate, as some very dark tints do almost nothing for IR/UV. When looking at films that have high heat reduction, the same film with higher visible light reduction almost always also improves the heat reduction as well. Take Kavaca IR for example, which is an exceptional film in this regard. The 80 shade has 74% visible light transmission, 95% IR rejection, 99.9% uv rejection, and 53% total solar energy rejection. Compare to their 35 shade, which has 36% visible light transmission (much darker), 98% IR rejection, 99.9% UV rejection, and 67% total energy rejection. But you can absolutely find super dark 5% films of other brands that have far less energy/heat rejection than either of these. And then there are films like 3M Crystalline that are entirely designed to leave your windows clear while having high heat rejection.
Yes, thats an interesting point. I of course get the darkness issue, but why the 70% or higher percentages, I don't understand. My guess is the technology probably didn't exist when half these states made the rules. I actually really like it now that I have it. Easier to see in both bright sunshine and bright headlights.
Great place for a video🤣 maybe next time pull off the road first. lol just kidding great info. That's really awesome that the Tesla can stay cool on those hot days. COOL feature!🥶😂
@@CyberTruckOne HAY!!! Thats funny, i was like, is he filming from the middle of the road? 🤔 Glad to to know you were in no real danger. thanks again for the video
You don’t cool down interior when you tint the glass. You just transfer heated surface from interior surfaces to the glass, which later heats the interior anyway :) Btw. Good luck when driving at night
I always highly recommend tinting for heat rejection. Even if someone has no desire to darken their windows. There are films like 3M Crystalline that are designed to reject heat without limiting light transmission. And films like Kavaca IR that are so effective at energy rejection that the % of the tint is almost a cosmetic decision. Total energy rejection on Kavaca IR 5% VLT tint is 69%, while the 74% VLT tint still rejects 53% solar energy, as well as 95% IR and 99% UV. (Total solar energy and IR rejection are the two that affect heat. UV is related to interior materials fading) Our windshield was struck a few months back and had to be replaced. We've never gotten it tinted again yet, and I hate it everytime i drive the car now. It had been tinted since the day I got it in 2018, and now it's so hot in comparison as soon as you sit down in the drivers seat.
Legally speaking, no state in the U.S. does. But there are good heat rejection films that have almost no impact on visibility. An 80% tint is nearly impossible to see. Many automotive windows come tinted darker than that from the factory.
I have a 1998 E320 Mercedes-Benz with a single wipe windshield blade that measures 24 inches. What size is your windshield wiper blade.. I can look it up. BUT. . It's nice to talk to someone real
Every state has their percentages and limitations. Not sure specifically which set up you’re referring to. regarding the front windshield, I can’t imagine any police department will even notice. For the most part, you can see in with ease. the only thing being blocked is heat and ultra violet light.
@@iflick7235 yes I suppose if they want to bust your balls and throw a meter on there. I truly don’t think they would notice the front windshield. Actually, I think the device that measures it is placed on the glass when the window is down. Not sure how they could measure it if they wanted. I think the bigger issue and a reasonable one is tinting out the side windows, where an officer can’t see in.
All of these hateful comments are made by people who will never have the money to buy one. Or any other new truck for that matter. If you dont like it that's fine then dont buy it.
I don’t think it’s really about the money, maybe sometimes. Ironically, the truck isn’t more expensive than half of top end ones Hell a raptor is more expensive. As stated here, I think it’s politics like everything else on the planet these days.
It can’t be too ugly. People like you who claim to hate it spend all their days watching videos about it. It’s actually hilarious. Spending time and focusing on things that you claim to hate. I hate showtunes, would never go to Broadway. But I don’t spend any time watching Broadway shows on RU-vid and crying about it. I just go about my life with the things I enjoy and it gives me happiness You should try it
@@CyberTruckOne "all their days watching videos" took me 1 second to click the video that came on my feed to make my comment, and now I can just reply right to your comment from the notification bell without even going back into the video, which is maybe 30 more seconds. Not all my days. But keep thinking that and driving around in the most ugliest vehicle ever created
@@WhiteArtsMagic LOL... very interesting, your YT algorithm sends you to videos you don't want to watch about things you don't like. I'm going with the idea, that you're either a super woke idiot who hates Elon for twitter free speech or a far right wing DH who thinks EVs are connected to climate change policy. We are certainly living in strange times.
