Tesla Window Tint for Santa Monica

Santa Monica is 18.4 miles from the Avalon pin. Pacific Coast Highway or Santa Monica Boulevard toward the 10 east, then the 405 south toward Avalon. Thirty-five to forty minutes. The alternate is Lincoln Boulevard south to the 405 south, then Avalon Boulevard. Maps pin 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.

Santa Monica has among the highest Tesla concentrations anywhere on this list and a very particular set of conditions. The marine layer holds until late morning and then the glare off the water runs unbroken all afternoon. Downtown is structures; everywhere else is permit streets, so a large share of these cars sleep outside in salt air every night of the year. Those two facts pull the decision in different directions and both need to be on the table.

Solar Ceramic on doors and back glass, no windshield, installed: Model Y $349, Model 3 $369, Model S $399, Cybertruck $399, Model X $499.

Going 3M full with the windshield comes to $848 on a Y, $868 on a 3, $898 on an S, $1098 on a Cybertruck and $1198 on an X. Two front windows, Solar Ceramic: Model 3, Y, S, and Y L $189; Model X and Cybertruck $269. A limited Model Y two-front promo is $149 — labeled promo, not the matrix price. Model Y L is covered.

Every piece of Tesla film is hand-cut on a glass board and then applied to the glass. Nothing is cut on your car. The rear glass has speakers, defroster lines and wiring right behind it, so that area gets prepped and protected before film approaches. The micro edge goes to the gasket rather than short of it — on a permit-street car in Santa Monica that is the detail that decides whether the job is still intact in three years.

Model 3, Model Y, Model Y L, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck. Santa Monica spans the whole range: Model 3 at $369, Model Y at $349, Model S at $399, Model X at $499 and Cybertruck at $399 in Solar Ceramic, with 3M full including the windshield running $848 to $1198 by model. 3M Color Stable and Ceramic IR are both available at the counter.

There is a local assumption that a beach city is cooler so film matters less. Air temperature and light load are different things. The air here is mild and the light off the water in the afternoon is not — unfiltered, reflected, and arriving from an angle the visor does not cover. A car can be uncomfortable to drive in Santa Monica on a day that never got warm, and that is a glare problem rather than a heat one.

Glare addressed on days that never got warm. A micro edge to the gasket so a permit-street car is still intact in three years. Salt given no lip to work under. No light gap on the single-piece rear glass. Nothing cut near the rear speakers or the defroster grid.

This site is Tesla glass only.

Same address, same people, one visit if you plan it that way.

Tesla tint books at 10:00 AM or 12:00 PM only. Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Sunday closed.
