One-piece rear glass
Tesla back windows are large and curved in more than one direction. The film is shaped with heat on a board until it conforms, then laid as a single piece, with no seam and no stretch marks.

What a Boyle Heights Tesla comes in for
Model 3 and Model Y doors
Frameless glass, cut to the gasket so the edge stays put when the window drops and rises. Ceramic film with no metal, so nothing interferes with the car.
Model S and Model X
More glass and more curve. Both get the same careful shaping and both are quoted on their own because of the extra material and time.
Electronics near the rear window
Defroster lines and nearby wiring are shielded before the glass is wetted. It is the quiet step that keeps a tint job from becoming an electrical problem.
Audio MotorSports also installs car alarms, GPS trackers, dash cameras and car stereos, so if the Tesla or another car in the household needs that work, say so when you book.

Questions
Boyle Heights questions we hear
Why is the Tesla rear window tinted as one piece?
Because a seam would show, and because a single piece shaped to the curve looks like factory glass. The film is heat-formed on a board to match the compound curve, then transferred and squeegeed down. It takes longer than a flat window and it is worth it.
How long is the drive from Boyle Heights for Tesla tint?
About 14.3 miles, which is roughly 29 to 34 minutes outside rush hour. Owners come from Temecula and San Diego for this work, so Boyle Heights is close. Book first so the bay is ready when you pull in.
Can the defroster lines be damaged during tinting?
Not when the area is prepped properly. We shield the lines and the electronics near the rear glass before any water touches the window, and the film is applied over the lines without scraping. The defroster works the same after the tint as before.
What is the legal front tint for a Tesla in California?
Front door glass must remain at 70% VLT. Ceramic film at that shade still blocks a large share of infrared heat, so the front seats are comfortable. Rear doors and the one-piece back glass can go darker if you want more privacy.
Do you cut the film on my Tesla or off the car?
Off the car, on a glass board. Cutting on the vehicle risks the glass and the trim, and a plotter pattern trimmed short leaves a visible light gap. Hand-cutting to the actual glass means the edge sits at the gasket where it belongs.
