Built Around Tesla Owners.
Our North Hollywood studio is about 10 minutes from Van Nuys, depending on traffic. Tesla North Hollywood on Sherman Way, on the Van Nuys side, is about 10 minutes away.
Listed on Tesla’s Website
Tesla lists Autograff as an XPEL installer, and we install on Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck.
A Cooler Cabin, Less A/C Load
XPEL XR Plus rejects up to 96% of heat. Blocking infrared lets the A/C cool the cabin faster and work less to hold temperature, which is easier on the battery.
Warranty-Safe Installs
Our work never voids your Tesla warranty. The XPEL film is guaranteed against bubbling, peeling, cracking, fading and discoloring, and the warranty transfers with the car.
The details
Tesla Window Tint, Answered.
Straight answers from an XPEL Authorized Dealer in North Hollywood.
Models We Tint
Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck. Every shade is the same price, and the shade is chosen at install.
2 – 3 Hours
A full Tesla tint takes 2 to 3 hours. Drop it off in North Hollywood and drive home the same day.
No Signal Interference
XPEL carbon and nano-ceramic films contain no metal, so cell, GPS, radio, tolling and key-fob signals pass through.
Glass Roof and Windshield
Clear XPEL film on the windshield and sunroof adds heat and UV protection where the sun hits hardest. Sunroof film is available in any shade, from clear to dark.
California-Legal Shades
California requires front side windows to allow at least 70% light through. Rear side windows and the back glass can go darker. We recommend legal shades for your car. See our California Tint Law Guide.
XR Plus or Prime CS?
XR Plus is nano-ceramic for maximum heat rejection and clarity. Prime CS is carbon for a rich matte-black look at a lower price. Compare them in our Ceramic vs Carbon Guide.
Same Heat and UV Protection at Every Shade
XPEL window film blocks over 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, and its infrared heat rejection is the same whether you choose 5% or 70%. Darkness only changes the look and the privacy, not how cool the car stays.
Recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation
XR Plus is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation. UV can pass through side glass, and the driver’s side of the body is especially exposed. Window film is a significant barrier against it.
Heat Is Infrared
UV is only about 3 – 5% of solar energy. Infrared is what you feel as heat. XR Plus rejects up to 96% of IR; XR Black up to 85%. In XPEL’s test of two identical Mazda MX-5s in the Texas sun, the car with XR Plus ran up to 15°F cooler.
Less Glare, Safer Driving
Up to 95% glare reduction. Low morning and evening sun and bright desert light can blind a driver for a moment. Film works like a set of sunglasses on every window, which matters most on east and west commutes.
Lifetime Warranty, Transferable
XPEL automotive window film is guaranteed not to bubble, peel, crack, fade or discolor. The warranty transfers with the vehicle and is honored by every certified XPEL installer.
Easier on EVs
Rejecting infrared heat lets the A/C cool the cabin faster and work less to hold temperature. On an electric vehicle that means less drain on the battery.

Which window tint is best for a Tesla?
For most Tesla owners we recommend XPEL XR Plus nano-ceramic film, which rejects up to 96% of heat. XPEL Prime CS carbon is a great-looking, lower-cost option. Both are non-metallic, so cell, GPS, Autopilot sensors and key-fob signals pass through normally.

A Tesla tint takes 2 to 3 hours at our North Hollywood studio, so you are back on the road the same day.
Does tinting a Tesla void the warranty?
No. Our installs do not void your Tesla warranty, and the XPEL film carries its own transferable lifetime warranty.
Which Tesla models do you tint?
Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck. Any shade is the same price, and you choose the shade at install.
Can I tint the Tesla glass roof?
Yes. Sunroof film is available in any shade, from clear to dark, to cut heat and UV through the roof. We confirm the right option for your model when you book.
Is Autograff listed by Tesla?
Yes. Autograff is listed on Tesla’s website and in the Tesla app as an XPEL installer.
