First Mod for My New Tesla Cybertruck: Full Tint at OC Tint Solutions
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've been following my channel, you know I'm all about Tesla mods and making these electric beasts even better. We just picked up our brand-new Tesla Cybertruck yesterday, and what's the very first thing we did? Straight to OC Tint Solutions in Costa Mesa to get this futuristic fishbowl fully tinted. That's right – no waiting around; we're diving right into the upgrades. In this post, I'll walk you through the process, why tinting is a must for any Tesla (especially the Cybertruck), and why OC Tint Solutions is my go-to spot. Let's get into it!
Why Tint Your Cybertruck Right Away?
The Cybertruck is an absolute head-turner with its massive glass surfaces, but that also means it's like driving in a greenhouse under the California sun. Without proper tint, you're dealing with intense heat, UV rays, and glare that can make long drives uncomfortable. Plus, as I experienced firsthand on pickup day, my phone overheated on the dash – not cool (literally). Tinting isn't just about aesthetics; it's about protection, comfort, and preserving your tech.
We decided to tint the front windshield, driver and passenger sides, and the rear windows, ensuring everything matches seamlessly. If you've seen my previous videos, you know I've taken all my Teslas here – it's a tradition at this point!
Arriving at OC Tint Solutions
OC Tint Solutions is conveniently located right off Automotive Road in Costa Mesa, with another spot in Anaheim for those further north. The owner, Jason, is fantastic, and don't just take my word for it – check out their stellar reviews on Yelp. They specialize in high-quality work using 3M products, backed by an excellent warranty.
What I love about this place is how they make the decision process easy. They've got samples on the wall showing different tint shades, plus a heat lamp demo that lets you feel the difference between cheap tint and premium ceramic options. In a sunny state like California, that heat rejection is a game-changer – it keeps the interior cooler and protects your skin from UV damage.
They don't just do tint; they offer paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating too. It's a one-stop shop for protecting your ride.
The Tinting Process and Our Choices
We dropped off the Cybertruck around 9 a.m. and picked it up just a few hours later – talk about efficient service! Here's what we went with:
- Front Windshield: 50% 3M Ceramic Tint
- Side Windows: 15% 3M Ceramic Tint (a bit darker for that sleek look)
- Rear Windows: 50% 3M Ceramic Tint (to match the factory tint and keep everything uniform)
This setup provides excellent UV protection and heat rejection, which is crucial for the Cybertruck's expansive glass. As a bonus, we added ceramic coating to the sides for easier cleaning and a sleeker finish. We skipped the stainless steel for now since we're planning a special wrap in the future – stay tuned for that!
The team at OC Tint Solutions handled everything professionally, and the results? The Cybertruck looks stealthier and feels way more comfortable inside.
The Benefits of Quality Tint
Beyond the cool factor, here's why this mod is essential:
- Heat Rejection: Say goodbye to scorching interiors and overheating devices.
- UV Protection: Blocks harmful rays, protecting you and your passengers.
- Aesthetics and Privacy: Matches perfectly for a cohesive, premium look with added privacy.
- Durability: 3M ceramic tint comes with a solid warranty, ensuring it lasts.
If you're in SoCal and own a Tesla (or any vehicle), tinting should be at the top of your mod list.
